Samuelx Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Hi All, Starting writing an intro and after page 3 in Word and only being halfway done with my story, I figured it was probably just gonna bore you guys to death (even if it was therapeutic for me lol). So, the other night: Thanks Bruce from HaulBikes, was good to meet you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuelx Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 Yesterday afternoon: Thanks Mike Fouke from Neilsen Enterprises in Illinois, it was a pleasure doing business with you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuelx Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 Before and After: The second pic was before I took that rear license plate frame/bracket/stuff off... I think it's needing some stickers - to make it faster and to keep it together in case of a crash... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuelx Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 Shortly after the picture of the 87 VFR was taken, I gave it to one of my cousins and he took it back home to Dallas - he lent it to a friend, they're no longer friends, long story, and he never got it back - it might still be roaming around in Dallas somewhere. Was in between bikes for many years (longer story) and FINALLY got the ok from the boss (aka wife unit) to get another one. Here's how long it's been: That's what I had saved, left over from back then, and what I wore to ride it home from work (where it was delivered) - a Shoei X-8 (!) helmet and Tourmaster gloves with kevlar and Studs In The Palms (do they still even make those???). I think I've got an beater RF-700 in my garage somewhere too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer VFR Capt.Bob Posted February 27, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted February 27, 2017 That 87 is a classic. I had the 86. Too bad it's MIA. You will enjoy the the performance of the 800cc motor and all the new tech on that 8th gen. If you look at my avitar you will see i rocked the classic blue and white AGV leathers. My86 and 98 vfrs are pictured as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that stuff went to my cousin too... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended up selling it a couple of years later (my CRS prevents me from remembering exactly when or why) with about 25k or so on the clock. Then I was in between bikes for a short while and then picked up the 87, stock, with maybe 18k on it? I don't remember any more... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuelx Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 Any other nerds besides me think maybe the designer of the 8th gen is an anime/manga fan? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
