Love this shot. Great angle. Great Colors, Great composition. But oh dear that bike is bloody...................................BEAUTIFUL.

YAY! Oh I miss my old 4th gen (NACA DUCTS 4 LYFE!)

Yes, you have to drill out the the holes. it isn't much, mostly just the existing threads, but you aren't going to reverse it without a tap&die and custom bolts of some kind. I have no intention of going back to factory, I only use the front portion of the Sargent seat so that the cowl creates a nice little storage space for rain layers / spare visor / etc.

they are the Sargent quick release pins. not exactly a great deal price wise, but they look and work just fine.

Rode off-road from Hwy 108 ( Near Pinecrest) to Highway 4 (Arnold) on Hell's Half Acre Road, it was 63 miles, but took around 3 hours with a few wrong turns on the spaghetti fire road system. Then we decided to ride over Ebbets Pass (8,736') on highway 4. Then we took a right on highway 89 and over Monitor Pass (8,314'). After gassing up in Walker, we took 395 south and then headed back over Sonora Pass (9,623') back to our campsite. Over 200 miles of twists and turns.

Does it contain an addendum on the O-ring of the solid rocket booster?

I love this photo, slo1. The red VFR stands out and the curves leading to the mountains make you want to jump on and GO!

Yes, they are powder coated a very HRC brownish gold.

NICE! I love the gold wheels almost more than I love the white wheels that I sometimes see people put on these! Did you powder coat them?

Thanks for getting a red Multistrada featured on VFRD! Beautiful shop.

Pig? All VFRs are equal, but some VFRs are more equal than others!! Red NACA's are the best!!!

What a nice example of a 4th Gen. I never get tired of looking at the lines on these bikes.

Not if you navigate like me, ha ha. Your photo actually reminded me of UT12 just south of Torrey.

What a lovely scene. It reminds me of places I've ridden in Oregon and NorCal, but I suspect it might be someplace a thousand miles away.

A typical slo1 shot, always excellent, well captured, great lighting, great composition etc......And of course a superb bike.

I always wanted a turbo, but that is anFJ1200. I owned three of them. Lovely bikes! My first VFR ('99) replaced the last FJ I owned, a '93.

Sorry I missed your comment at the time, MaxSwell. But to answer your Q, the pic was taken about 6pm back in late July 1995. As I recall traffic in the Glacier NP was light that day, and I waited for the cars to clear before snapping.

Shows what happens when there is no security at the gate...

That my friends, is a 4th Gen on the hunt.

This was Rt. 175, looking southeast, near Clear Lake CA. The mountain is Mt. Konocti, a volcano by the lake. 175 was a great road but cold, and lots of gravel that day. No TC on the 2010 7th gen!

Nice. I have soft spot for bridges 🙂

Really evocative shot, Convoy. One small change that'd make it even better, imho, is if your bike was just a little further away from the structures to its right side.

Yes, I put an old go-pro 3 I have in the case. I have had a bit of road rage with a couple of clowns on the road tailgating. I just point to the camera when I stop at the lights and they leave me alone. Saves the aggravation. Recently brought a Forcite Helmet that has a camera fitted. Waiting for it to arrive..... A dash cam in the helmet can only be a good thing.😃

Beautiful.

That's the Hite Crossing Bridge in the background on UT-95 (for those interested, Google Maps link below). This view is on the North side of the Colorado looking East. https://www.google.com/maps/@37.8894221,-110.409233,3a,75y,60.66h,86.98t/data=!3m9!1e1!3m7!1sqBeEVc3O7lLuR8YPjesxHQ!2e0!7i3328!8i1664!9m2!1b1!2i45?hl=en When I came through there a cop was making a traffic stop at the turnout at the base of the outcrop on the right. Sort of ruined the moment for me. We are so blessed in North America to have these epic landscapes in CO, UT, AZ, MT, WY ID, Eastern OR and CA to ride through. Not only great roads, but spectacular other worldly landscapes that even the movies couldn't make up. Even though it's tempting to "pour on the coal" through these places, I try to take it easy at times to soak in the scenery - it's just too good to pass up. Time for another road trip! Come on vaccine . . . !

I know exactly where this is, been on that arched bridge too. Featured

Givi, which is easy off and on.

That is a really nice shop, looks like really good lighting. Any idea what the first projects going to be to break it in?

Excellent shot slo1. Great angle, scenary and clouds add to a dramatic effect.

I have not read the book but I could imagine why a view like that would evoke some feelings. I absolutely had to stop as soon as I reached above the fog because I did not expect it to look so interesting. A guy approached me on a bicycle and commented that he lives in the area and how rare the unique fog formation it was.

I recognize that spot, it's one of my favourite parts of PCH. Starting southbound from Garberville or northbound form Fort Bragg makes for a great morning's ride.

That's the one I think about along with a 86

Crazy Horse Monument in the background is looking good. But not nearly as good as your Fifth Gen! That is a fine example of the Best Generation VFR in the Fastest Color. Nice!

What is that in the sky to the right of the bluff?

This is my new standard... all ideas shall be measured relative to this.

Thank you Miguel for your excellent guide work through the Rockies. And especially for figuring out my speedo issue. It was great to see you. Terry

What the... you think it's a sportsbike or something? :goofy:
