A Yamaha Virago XV535 for me

After searching around at several shops, online stores and forums ... bikes to sell sections, finally an ads on Mudah caught my attention... a Virago XV535.

After several times communicating with the seller, who is in Muar Johor, we finally cut a deal.

On 11 December 2010, I went to Muar with my nephew Amar to get the bike.



The bike is semi-custom, the tank has been replaced with that of a Honda CBX.

My journey ...


My first bike was a Suzuki vs125 (similar to the one in the pic ...but mine was a dark blue). It served me well from 1997 to year 2000. I rode it about 70 km on every working days from Shah Alam to Keramat.

After second times accidents, which sent me off work for about 10 days, my wife gave an ultimatum ... NO MORE bike riding. I gave the bike away.

However, my love to ride never dies. Once in a while I would ride my friends' bikes.

The last time I rode a bike was in year 2004.

Having tried several times riding my friends easy riders, I had always longing to get one for myself.
