Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

BARN FIND, YAMAHA VIRAGO / WILL IT RUN is a video on a virago, I picked up for $250 in N.J. I brought it home and now Im going to see if i can get it up and running. If I can get it running then Im going to turn it into something really cool. tune in and follow along and see how it turns out. keep your fingers crossed and wish me luck. Hopefully the motorcycle gods smile on me, and I come out with a really cool motorcycle on the other side. As always people, ride safe and live life behind bars.

    I just found your channel and subscribed. I love wrenching on bikes. I'm restoring s basket case '74 Honda CL 200 now. When I'm not in the shop, I enjoy watching someone else wrench on bikes. My Dad's last bike wash a Virago 1100. I used to borrow it while working on my Venture. The Virago is a cool bike. Ill be watching this series.

    I think I have electric and gas figured out, so it won't be long before she's running. Stay tuned to see how it goes.

    @@westcornerscustomcycles that’s the freedom to me of procuring myself a cheap Japanese bike. If I ever get that cool old Harley that’s all mint I’ll be too afraid to work on it. An old Yamahawg that’s been dropped a time or two already.. I bastardize guilt free and just have fun on the cheap. I love all bikes. Dirty ol enduros, Harley’s, sport bikes, mopeds. 3hp or 300. 2 wheels is 2 wheels.

    Definitely a cool bike. And if you didn't have any bikes at all, this one wouldn't be all that bad...

    Hey Michael, how are ya? I think these are great bikes. My first road bike was a 1985 700cc I bought it new I road it for years . It went to my step brother, then to my brother, and then back to me again. The one I'm working on now is my third Virago. My first 1100cc. Thanks for watching, good to hear from you again.

    @westcornerscustomcycles that's cool. There's alot to choose from, you could just do slip ons and it'll sound way better than stock you know that. Cobra has really good inexpensive slip ons that'll sound awesome.

    Yeah it literally has 677 me on it that's why she hasn't let me do anything to it yet. She was talking straight pipes something loud we'll have to see what she wants
