- touring........ easy ride..........
- small ?? big ???????
- easy handling easy ride..sama jua ni kira2nya...
The purchase was not the right timing cos' I already got "Kawasaki Voyager" and "Drag Star 400"....awu...masa atu awa basar.... Did,.. felt some sort of a burden...lol..
Tried to offer close friends but...somehow, not turned out to be my favour....even though..got a friend to give a trial ride home...ok...firstly no problem...but, when..U returned precious thing back without single word..??? n..just left in front of Ur door...There must be something wrong....
And, there was another biker's trial again,.... used the motor as a regular daily vehicle to his station... but, when trouble came..
Just left it home. No words too...so a quick action plan....had to tow it (by the owner) to the workshop for repair which later cost more then 1K..lol.. Very unfortunate cos people tend to take advantage...if U're too good...
So...felt frustrated, I intended to make use of it for my self...karit ni..awa basar tau tah... And so, early 2008, news came around to welcome Yamaha owners to join tour to Sandakan....hoorryyy..
Enrolled and that was it.......here I got a few pictures..to tell n show..
I think, it was the peak condition of the machine I ever had used during my ownership. It was fabulous...another word of my expression when I rode the virago. The machine got power, nice to look, chopper looked, easy to ride...lol,, I loved it too,,few 'bro' bikers raised their heads and questions....for SALE kah tu???
At that time, the machine would cost me a 'fortune' ..of coz....probably 5 - 7K...eeeh..eh..not really market price...but...I just kept my mouth closed. NOT for sale..konon.....stupid UU...merajok kah ni...
To make it short, I nearly forgotten the existence of the machine if not a friend come to my door and offer to take and buy it lately, the price was a win win purchase/sale situation 'cos' U know as I said earlier I forgot about it as I was much enjoyed and busy with my new bikes..Honda Goldwing and Yamaha XJ900P....(thats would be another story to tell...???)
I sold it much less then as expected, but..both party were happy at least at the end. The machine was not in perfect condition, so I had to compromise for the feeling unsatisfactory and guilt, when U let go something was not in tip top condition. Further more I was asked the favour . and in return.....boleh runding lah........end....

The children 's instinct can tell us how they also feeling the enjoyment even though they just sit on the motorcycle seat. Of coz' the bigger, the mature, the older, the person, they tend to.....say......what ???? Uuu know what...all the same, even though to us could be different answers.......n..perceptions.. Only bikers may understand.... |
 |
| All the way to Sandakan by two wheels. Anybody NOT happy....?? |
 |
| me.....Gwing1313 with Virago..... U may know the other faces..too... |
 |
| Long distance journey is very tiring...If U're not aware, and careful. That is called careless. Accident can happen any where and any time.... so..... tau sendiri la..... |
 |
| SANDAKAN memang popular dengan tempat Sepilok. Jadi, ani tah geng-geng SEPILOK. Ada persamaan di orang ani kah..???? |
