Just got my first bike! Woo Hoo!

#1 Unread post by Thistleback »

Hey everyone! I just got my first bike. So excited! Got it home in a trailer last night about midnight. It was an 8 hour round trip after work (including a free pizza that the seller made for us - he was at work!)

Can't wait to get through my workday so I can take it out tonight. It's gonna be long day! :laughing:

It's a 2005 Virago 250 with 1500 miles - a perfect started bike. It's already got it first scratch or two, but very minor. It's still a great looking and great running bike. I won't have to worry about putting that first bandaid on it.

I'll post pictures in a day or two.

Thank you to all who joined me in my excitement! My husband found a good deal on a used Virago 750, so we both have been riding and tinkering all weekend.

It's nice to feel welcomed here.
