I just bought my first bike... Again...
« on: August 29, 2015, 04:59:48 PM »
My first bike ever was a 1983 XV500K Virago. I bought it in 2000 and loved every mile I put on it. Unfortunately, in 2006, I sold it to cover other expenses in my life. That was a hard lesson learned. Never sell the only bike you have, because you don't know when you will be able to ride again. In 2012, I finally had two wheels again after getting my CB750 chopper to the point I could ride it. It felt good to have a ride again, but I always missed my first bike. After years of searching for another one in nice condition, I finally bought another XV500K again today, and I couldn't be happier. I'll post some better pics later, but here it is:

That's an interesting little "Yama-Harley" Dig, we only got the 750 and 1000 variants back then, I haven't seen a 500 before? Looks like a nice little bike. Cheers, Terry. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

I'd give quite a bit to track down my old Suzuki 80 that my dad bought for me (from my grade school best friend) when I was 15. I have no idea how he even knew about the bike. I didn't even know about it.
