I own the road, not many cars or bikes around, it feels actually much safer to ride...<br />Kudos to you that you got out there!SonjaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389245948579828531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412578613499132408.post-88549283966304896662011-07-14T04:54:02.849-07:002011-07-14T04:54:02.849-07:00Hi Troy.

Partly I'm lying low while otherwise busy, in the knowledge that when Craig the bike builder returns and helps me make the Virago ready as a highway tourer, that I'm going to do some wonderful big rides - I can feel the desire to really stretch my legs quietly growing inside me, and the western - W, SW, NW - beckons. In the meantime I've collected parts - carburettor manifolds, diaphragms, jets; saddle bags, a bench seat - all ready to complete the XV tourer to make this happen.Matthew Bishophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12731443150545543312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412578613499132408.post-75960238474019163432011-07-13T23:43:52.612-07:002011-07-13T23:43:52.612-07:00Hi Matt, I quite enjoy your Blog, please keep writ...Hi Matt, I quite enjoy your Blog, please keep writing when life allows.
