@@cmiimages Great Alpine Road on the way up to Mount Hotham. He just waved it off like it didn’t matter that he could have killed someone. Trying to get somewhere faster isn’t worth risking other people’s (and potentially their own) lives over.

@@AussieColonel I was so annoyed about that! My friend’s footage had a dead gnat in the middle of it. Yay for joys of country riding!

He’s faster than us, he’s been riding a long time and can really move that bike. One of our friends has an MT09 Tracer and he can’t keep up with him either.

Australia

Okay 👌🏾 Thanks...

Also looks like some part of Melbourne I'm over in Lilydale

They’re a great bike, very smooth and they handle well for heavier machine. You’ll be loving it!

Shes in getting the rwc at the moment just waiting on a front disc but I rode her around that whole weekend and was awesome already got a few upgrades planned need new bars to come back a bit cause I'm a short *ss

@@dillonhayes3402 I bought some stock bars for mine for that reason. The good thing was that this bike has 5” risers on it, so when the stock bars were put on, the positioning was perfect for me.

Pretty easy to say that when you’re not in the situation. Diving left means you need to make sure there aren’t poles or signs you’re going to hit if you do that. No time for that. Not sure why you think your comment is useful in any way. It’s basically just you being an arse.

@@Handlebarshooves He probably doesn't even ride. Of course when you see it a couple times, It's a little easier. lmao Ride safe

Yes, go ahead.

Sure!

Sure!

I walked away with mostly just bruising. Not how those accidents normally end! The Boulevard is a smooth ride, and it’s kinda like riding a lounge chair. Long distances are easy on this one.

Thanks! I still love riding.

It was terrifying. He was so close behind the other car when he pulled out that some people think the car that was in front of him was the one that hit me. Bruising and an inflamed tendon/ligament around my knee was the only injuries I ended up with. Definitely not how these kinds of accidents usually end.

Thank you! I still ride. I didn’t want that taken away from me.

Having the right bars works wonders for comfort. The original owner of C50 had the bars you see in the video; I they were too wide and too far forward for me. I angled them back to help a bit, but it wasn’t enough. I had stock bars put on them. With the 5” risers that are on the bike, it’s made a world of difference; it’s so much more pleasant to ride now.

wait those are stock pipes? and engine is 800cc?

@@Voltomess 805cc engine with Cobra pipes.

@@Handlebarshooves when you install new pipe do you need to do something else? I know when bikes have carburetors they need rejet , but if you have a fuel-injected bike? some people say you don't need anything others say you need fuel management device connected and configured thru computer and stuff I'm confused.

Yes, it has Cobra pipes on it. They have a beautiful note.

Lol. I’m in Australia. We’re like the UK; traffic flows on the left.

the utes didn't tip you off? haha

the right side of the road is the side where the cars aren't coming right at you

Yes; the trip was to the Waurn Ponds shopping centre. The viragos are a good bike to learn on, I’m really short so it was nice to have something I could reach the ground on. It’s pretty light for a cruiser too, so it was confidence inspiring.

@@Handlebarshooves awesome, I'm pretty excited to ride it around for a year or two!

I had mine for 7 months before getting a V Star 650 Classic. The Virago was good, but the lack of power got frustrating for me. I had the V Star for a year before my restrictions were up, then I got a Virago 1100. I’ve had a few bikes since then haha.

@@Handlebarshooves I saw an 11 for sale a few days ago, they are so great looking! A mate of mine had a Virago 700 I think, or something around that engine size but he got rid of it. I would be happy to upgrade to a bigger virago one day though, although the Vulcan S piques my interest a bit. I've had a lot of people tell me to go for a 650 but it really came down to money in the end and the virago has cost me less than $3k.

Yeah, price is definitely limiting. It’s kinda like you got a good deal on your bike so that’s good. I have a Boulevard C50 now; 800cc. I also have an MT-07. They’re chalk and cheese but both fun in their own way. I’ve been riding almost 9 years now and love it. You’ll enjoy it!

A previous owner had them put on somewhere in Queensland; I think they’re some kind of custom pipes. There wasn’t a brand name on them.

I noticed there aren’t many videos of them around, it’s a shame really. I’ve had the bike since February and it eats highways for breakfast. I’ve already put over 10,000km on it and it’s brilliant.

Ms IdiotBox Thank you!

Thank you, I got lucky, no broken bones were found in the X-Rays and scans. I got another bike less than a month later and rode it home from interstate.

I've got a V Star 950 now, it's beautiful! Will have to make a video for it.

It had a Vance and Hines competition slip on. It was amazing! Sadly that bike is no more though, I have the video of the end of that bike on my channel.
