LucaBrasi Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 My first post here - Hi everyone Seriously considering buying a VFR800 this weekend, I'd be getting back into motorcycling after a number of years hiatus. Just curious - how old are the owners of the VFR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, I could have sworn someone told me that you were sleeping with the fishes...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VFR4Lee Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Something about a 40th High School reunion!? Ack! Sleeping in front of the fish tank is better than sleeping in front of the TV. Ummm....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to be one of the youngest ones here. Maybe I should get a Tuono instead, is that a young mans bike too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I am 63 and a VFR rider. But I also ride a Ducati 748 and a BMW R1200RS and a Tuono, so not sure what the results mean . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer sfdownhill Posted March 24, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted March 24, 2017 OK - I admit to being the last to get it - what is the meaning of LucaBrasi? Does it have to do with Luca Cadalora? As to thread topic - I'm 52 and 11/12ths. As our president would say: "fifty-two plus plus plus" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted March 24, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted March 24, 2017 Old enough to know better Young enough not to care Following the totalling of my VFR, I bought a RC51-SP2... :-) RIP redslut... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucaBrasi Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 Thanks for the welcome! And thanks so much for the responses, really enjoyed the comments, and it solidified my hope that I wasn't too old for the VFR. I'll let ya'll know if I pick it up tomorrow or not. SFDownHill - Luca Brasi was (The Godfather film) mafia boss Vito Corleone's personal enforcer. A little known fact - in the 1972 film Luca was played by Lenny Montana, who in real life, was a bodyguard in the New York Colombo crime family. As Mark Twain said, "The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucaBrasi Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 Hey Africord - I know from your sig that's an 02 and I'm looking at a 2014, but do you have bar risers on your bike? Pegs lowered? Your seating position looks just right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
