Just curious - how old are the owners of the VFR? How old are you? Only polite to state yours first as your asking everyone else theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I'm in my fifties. Maybe you're too young!!! Now get off my lawn, whippersnapper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should get a Tuono instead, is that a young mans bike too? Not necessarily. I have 2 of those, first gen and second gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer sfdownhill Posted March 25, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted March 25, 2017 "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." Nice reference - thanks Luca. I'll have to watch the film again - it's been a long time. Thanks also for starting a fun little thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
