|  Here's two of my past bikes. I found these while cleaning out the ol' junk drawer. My '90 Yamaha Virago 535. Other than my M, this is the only other bike I bought new. This bike saw so much cross-country interstate travel at 85mph usually loaded with that big bag on the back and full saddlebags. I weighed about 225 and often had about 60-70 total pounds of gear. That's why I laugh at people's ignorance about whether the M50/C50 will do well on the interstate. Ha ha. They are such bigger, better bikes. It's a no brainer!  My '79 Yamaha XS1100. I had this bike so tricked out it ain't funny. It came stock with about 100hp. I had it pumping about 120hp. This is the bike I took about 6 times to Deal's Gap over maybe a 5 year period.
