Thanks Steve. He did take over my Virago when I bought the Venture, but it was a lower bike and he is a little shorter then I am so he doesn't get his feet flat on the ground while on the Venture
My son is looking to get new front and rear brake pads and thought it would be better to have the saddle bags off while taking to a motorcycle mechanic so they don't get damaged at the shop.
What are your thoughts or opinions on a short ride without the saddlebags? The guard rails will still be on.
It is with mixed emotions that I passed my motor bike on to my son today. Like me, he is not a wrench so I am encouraging him to join VR, for knowledge and camaraderie.
