I agree, that is a very pretty bike. Congrats!! And what did he give himself to replace it? :biggrin: Nothin' yet! He's looking for a Honda Aero or Sabre 1100. He test rode a V-star 1100 and an Aero 1100 and really didn't like the V-Star. Hope he finds something soon! We're burning daylight! There'...

Hello! I enjoyed reading this thread and finding other ladies sharing the same struggle. I'm 55 and was feeling very unfit - and exercise only made things worse - my joints couldn't take it, and I just didn't seem to build any muscle. And I was always tired. Then I started on bio-identical hormone r...

So, my bike is making me stronger. It's fun thinking about what I can go to next once I'm close to being my old self. Regina Gina: I'm 55 and just started riding this year. I started on a 250 and only had it for two months before graduating to a 750. I'll probably not ever go much bigger than an 11...

My newest ride is a Yamaha Virago 750. Had a 250, and my husband felt sorry for me after about two months, and gave me his 750.

Well the Virago 250 only lasted two months - I wanted more power! My hubby felt sorry for me when we took the bikes to Victoria BC last weekend, and went up the Malahat. So when we got home he gave me his 750! I rode it Sunday night and it was great! I've been riding it to work every day this week. ...

I have had, in this order:

2005 Yamaha Zuma
2005 Yamaha XV250
1995 Yamaha XV750

I got my windshield today. Put it on after work, and went for a trial run. Found I needed to adjust it up some, so made that adjustment when we got back. I think I'll take her to work tomorrow, so I can play on my lunch hour, and we'll ride for date night after work. I know I'm going to love it! Loo...

I have already added a fork bag so I can carry a few incidentals, like my registration, water bottle, etc. I've also ordered a National Cycle Sportshield to keep the wind off. Can't wait until that arrives! We rode last Sunday, nearly all day. Backroads, highway, twisties, all of it. I like the twis...

Did it direct wind over your head too, or did it just protect the body? How tall are you?

Right - that's what I understand. But how big is too big? Obviously too big is going to look silly on a small bike anyway . . . the Spitfire is only 15" high - would 17"x17" or so be fine? Will it keep the wind off my head, or only off my chest? I'm 5' 6". I'm hoping other Virago...
