My first Motorcycle in my own name was a Harley Davidson Sportster.

I looked at a Virago, but, knowing what the word MEANT, did not want to be riding a B.....

I may BE one, but I won’t ride one.

Homecoming at my alma mater tonight. They will slaughter my daughter’s school’s team, so I welcome the chance not to have to root for them.

Hopefully, the rain will pass before this evening.

If you need an example of the definition of Virago sHrillary meets the first one: A woman regarded as noisy, scolding, or domineering. While Gold Meir or Margaret Thatcher would be a perfect example of the second: A large, strong, courageous woman.
