While I live in Calgary, I have the utmost privilege of working in St. John's, Newfoundland - almost 5000kms away. I've met some great people over the last few years and, most recently, my friend Bob. We both have Yamaha Viragos and he surprised me by borrowing a neighbour's Virago 535 so we could go for a ride. Two things are for certain - Newfoundland pride and hospitality. Newfoundland is where you'll find the most beautiful ocean landscapes and the most friendly, down to earth people.
It was my last day on shift where I had no scheduled flights so I was released for duty shortly after lunch and Bob picked me up in his vintage Triumph TR6.
This is a pretty long video - about 30 minutes, but it is compressed down from a 4 hour ride. We were short for time and I've visited most of these places already but this time it was more about the ride on the bikes. We switched up a couple of times from the 1100 to the 535 and I was pretty happy with the performance of the 535, but the 1100 was just a beast. The 1100 has a lot more power but it's also got a lower centre of gravity and smoother power and torque making for a really easy bike to toss around through the corners.
Thanks for a great day, Bob.

Yeah, I was pretty lucky. We still see each other whenever I'm on shift and still chuckle about the story of how we met. We always talk about how small the world has become. If you ever get out that way on your bike, I have to say, this trip here on the Avalon Peninsula is just the tip of the iceberg so to speak. Newfoundland is stunning.

All of Newfoundland is beautiful…just a really short season. The Viragos are nice to get around on for sure.

Skvělý! Doufám, že se vám vaše Virago bude líbit stejně jako mě. 1100 je kultivovanější, má o něco více točivého momentu a má o něco hladší chod. Bude se vám to líbit.
