Another Hive motorcycle is out of the Two Car Garage! I spent 1.5 years tearing down, customizing, fabricating, then rebuilding this 1983 Yamaha Virago 920 (xv920). You'll see me change haircuts, change glasses, and change clothing layers as the seasons pass and the bike progresses. While this was being built I changed jobs and had my second child!
