I wouldn’t do it, I think it’s better if you change your own oil and do your own maintenance, then you know everything is tightened to spec and you aren’t forgetting any bolts. Just my 2 cents.

I’ve heard of people taking Ninja 250’s on pretty long roadtrips, I bet the Virago could handle it. Unfortunately I don’t know many twisty roads in washington or oregon, but I’m sure if you google them then you might be able to find some fun ones.

Those look pretty good. Definitely wouldn’t want to get punched with them!

They have a leather palm so they should be ok at abrasion resistance.

They aren’t going to be as good as motorcycle racing boots, but combat boots would offer some pretty good protection in my opinion. Hell sometimes I ride in my steel toe dickie boots

Shannon does the same thing as I do. I find the bike warms up enough to get going after you put on your helmet and gloves.

Actually countersteering is ONLY for higher speeds. When you are going sub 10mph you can turn the handlebars like you would on a bike to get the motorcycle to go in the direction you want.

In fact you can even practice countersteer on a bicycle if you get going fast enough, that’s how my riding mentor showed it to me.
