Learning To Ride

[sparky3008]

My starter bike was an '82 Virago 750... with about 12K miles on it, purchased from a friend in July of '03. Didn't have to worry too much about dropping it (which I never did, amazingly), it was a pretty easy bike to wrench (good learning experience), was light with a low CG (handling wasn't an issue), and had enough get-up-and-go to feel somewhat comfortable driving on the freeways. Sold it when the FJR came in to a guy who works for me for twice what I paid for it (but had done a lot of work on it in the meantime...).

So was it that you robbed your friend by not paying him enough or you robbed your employee by charging him too much? :haha:

Or both?
