How do you like your Virago? (Doesn't that mean "loose woman" or something like that?) If I am correct, it is a Japanese "imitation" of a Harley. Does it vibrate a lot, like the big twin Harleys? (That would explain a lot! ;)
I have short legs that make it hard to handle a big motorcycle at stop lights etc. (yeah, ok, I am too old and soft, too - not to mention arthritis in the knees), but those v-twins sit a lot lower on the ground than the four cylinder jobs do, so I might fit one better.
Does Alona sit on the back, and, if so, is she comfortable?
