Can have mine!, nice and quiet, dose 100,000miles to the gallon.
O wait, you did say you wanted one with a shagged motor right?
i would need a crowbar to prise you from yours haha
-
ha i'm 5'3" and the draggie fits me perfectly
as task says you get used to the weight very easily
but without a doubt having had both recently the draggie is way better
it has a better size for two up riding, a lot more stability and easily way more torque
it might just be me but i found manouverablity better on the draggie too
this time tomorrow i might own another one.........................
-
thats why GOD invented full face helmets.
thats the truth
i wont wear an open face again after that
Gizz you look much better in the last picture
Na, really glad your ok after that spill, was that the skid lid you was wearing at the time of the crash? looks like it did its job...................but your still fugly
i agree it did improve my character haha yea that was the lid i was wearing
caberg race2 from now on tho'
on a good side i'm hoping to get another draggie soon in negotiations just now
anyone got a cheap straight through for a draggie haha

from the best place lol

should have dryed it off as best you can before covering it
good bit of advice buy some muc-off protection spray or even better ac50
and spray the bike it will help to protect it a whole lot better
-
finally got the wee bike sold today
now anyone got a draggie they dont want..................................................
-
That's crazy lol! How did you manage that? Were you sleep-deprived?
was after an all night run
bad thing was i was only 2 mins from home
lights were taking a while and well i thought the sun was bright i'll just shut my eyes for a second
and THUMP!!
-
now its loud
that tells you right away the exhaust is not suppressing the sound therefore not suppressing the exhaust gases
reason 1 baffle faulty
2 hole in the exhaust
method of repair 1 replace the baffle or baffle material
2 replace the exhaust or find and plug the hole
-
broken clutch tension springs
rare but possible
open the clutch casing and check it out
-
the politics can be a pain in the ass
but to be fair
hanging around going to runs and joining in .......worth it to watch the closeness amongst the members and see the fun had
prospecting ............hard work but good to learn about the club and the members
getting patched up ...............AMAZING !!
what you get
a loyal group of friends closer to you than you can imagine
friends who will answer your call of help at anytime trust me after my accident my brothers waited with my wife at a hospital 50mls away from home till 3am to take her home,collected all my belongings from my bike 300ml round trip and ran after us for 3 months till i could walk again all without complaint(had to endure months of slagging tho' haha)
i think personally people judge the wrong way when they see a patch(ours is worn on the upper front left side over the heart as such)
i've just came back from holiday at a family campsite(haven) were daily i wore my "cut" i do have long hair and covered in tattoos
to be honest i got some strange looks and had folks moving out of my way BUT after a couple of days with my granddaughter me running after her and playing saying hello to and talking to other parents
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ....................folks realised i'm a biker yea but i'm also a pleasent good mannered person
i wear my cut with pride
because i earned it
i wish folks would realise the work that goes into wearing a patch then they would maybe show some respect to us for a change
-
and the reason foamy got his toy
-
seriously
i fell asleep once........................
i know what your thinking ...........haha
felt a right clown lying on the road when it fell over
-
is there any way this could be noticed for someone persay going to buy a bike
obviously your not gonna jack it up
so is there any tell tale signs
-
I think its due to the shape of the tank. Only one tube would mean fuel trapped in the side without tube.
spot on that man
-
yup the same as my virago
2 tanks
-
check the oil in the diff
the whining could be from that
-
the sound is the fuel pump priming thats normal
you could have faulty plugs
check to see if your getting a spark at them first
then check the coils are ok
-
THAT is a dangerous thing to say on a forum like this, my man... The next step would be for all the modders volunteering to show you EXACTLY what could be done to that pretty little bike of yours... Admitedly, some of it would be rather cool. I'm a fan of Rat and Survival bikes myself. There's also the Cafe Racer ones, the massive Choppers (kinda camp, though) and even teh Steampunk styles!
http://www.ratbike.org/pages/846virago.htm
I have seen a couple of 535s modded in such a way that they look more like very exotic and deadly weapons than motorcycles!!
Depends how much ya wanna spend and how skilled you/your mechanic happen to be...
as it should be known not all that is said in a forum is meant to the literal sense
and if anyone wants to buy my bike and overmod it to the point where the value falls
hell their more than welcome its up for sale
me i just dont see the point in overmodding a bike i dont like
-
Ahhh glad im not the only draggy killer then.
your deffinatly not alone
i think riding your draggie under the wheels of a lorry classifies me as a "draggie killer" lol
-
i might ride a cruiser
but i always acknowledge other riders on the road
no matter what they ride even scooters lol
-
Nowt wrong with the Viggie... even the 535s!
If you think the Viggie is ugly, you simply ain't put the right mods on
and what other mods could i have done lol
except maybe burn it and claim the insurance haha
name that part
