I have sent you a PM (private message)

Mr Geordie is a new chum who may not understand the PM system. If you look at the top right of the KB screen you should see "Private Messages": Unread 1 (or some number). Click on the Private Message words and it will take you into the Private Messaging (PM) system, where you can send messages (sort of like email) to other members.

Yes, seen you today, you didn't even wave :-))) I was just heading out across the motorway bridge as you were coming in.

i gave a nod if i remember rightly...was busy changing down, otherwise i would have waved [normally do] i didnt see you wave either....considering the weather there wasnt many bikes out...i think i saw about 5 all day....

my apologies...next time!

Good stuff! Nice bikes those Viragos.

Dont forget to watch Easy Rider a few more times before Summer!!

[Virago]

Just had a look at your photos - nice!

See the little rubber bungs on the side of the rear fender? That's where the rear indicators will need to be remounted before you can put a pack rack on.

Hope you get some nice weather up there over the weekend!

Colours of the Virago:
They originally came out all black.
Then they came out in the Maroon & Black
Some came out just Red
As well as the colour you have.
The latest colour is now all black again..

I have the only known Black and white Virago in Auckland.


Import colour from Japan is a bluey colour.

koolies! thanks crashe. i think mine is one of few viragos in town...certainly unusual enough that i thought id know the previous owner, but i dont. quite like have an individual bike....

virago...are you going to the burt munro thing in invers next month? im thinking of coming down for it.

[Waylander]

Been a few of them popping up here. (even a black and white one)

Think I've seen 5 different ones, should pay attention to rego's to make sure.
Summer comming up might be a few more comming out of the woodwork.

Yeah I had heard throu the grapevine that there was a black and white Virago down there in Tauranga... with a sissy bar on the back.

The one in Tauranga and mine are the only known black and white 250cc Virago's around that I have ever heard of.

The Black and white Virago's were actually destined to go to the States or Canada... they shipped the wrong crates to NZ... so somewhere in the states or Canada is at least 2 Virago's with colours that stand out from the rest of them...
