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.

This was back in the olden street days I think I was riding a 550 Four that was all street ratted out. I only raced a few times about 1990-1992or3 and always on DOT's , never had the cash for slicks, mounting and un mounting or dedicated race wheels. But your right my VFR was so predictable, I sport toured with the bike all of the 14 years I first owned it.

The furthest inland I've been in Oz is Broken Hill. Up and back in one day on my 1st Gen VFR.

Yup! It was an article I read in Bike magazine over a decade ago that gave me the desire to do it. Christchurch Honda rent out the bikes. It HAS to be on every VFR owners Bucket List!

Oh my, what a lovely scene - the bike ain't half bad either. With luck, and an end to the pandemic restrictions I hope to return to Cali next summer

The 600 may have been quicker, but it sure didn't have an ass like that!

I get that this was taken in California, but I saw this photo and immediately recognized the Oregon coast vibe (rocky, overcast, and cold looking). Also, I knew it was the Pacific Northwest rather than Maine because the ocean was on the left.

Absolutely superb, oh to get my hands on one of those! Beautiful shot of a truly beautiful machine.

Not too shabby for a 30 year old bike 😉 Love the Euro graphics, too

Another gem photo slo1. Excellent composition and lighting, your shots are all very nice indeed. You have a good eye and talent with a camera. Cheers.

Is that a sea turtle image on the upper cowl? If so, Long Live The Sea Turtles. And the text below it are words to live by. I cannot make out the image behind the turn indicator. More philosophical profundity?

What Grum said!

Wow! Two hotties in one pic. Great shot.

Love the colour and the mood it sets in this photo. Well done

Are we going to get to see any of your recordings? Your mounting arrangment looks the same as my fork light mountings. Nice work.

Lovely shot - a moody scene with great colour

She's a red hot classic, nice shot.

LOL 😂 Looking at the original in super magnify it would appear to be a fly on the fly.....

Looks like a great ride though I bet the snow made it feel a little colder. I'm taking the shortcut over Beartooth this summer, but won't make quite as far east as this.

Used to be a guy around here that had an early '60s fire truck. It got used a lot for high school senior pictures, wedding parties, limo service, bar hopping and rabble rousing in general. Lights and sirens worked and he had fitted the area normally used for hose storage with bench seats and cooler.... You get the idea. I never had the opportunity to ride/party on it but he stayed pretty busy driving people around through the warm months.

Well thank goodness the flat happened in such a serene spot and not on a major highway!

"Ellery Lake on Hwy 120" looks unreal. I guess it's the snow and white of the bike.

For anyone who is interested, the left side exhaust is from Sandy Bike Spares in the UK. See my posts about this subject if you're interested but in summary: 1. Avoid their pattern right exit exhaust - horrible bents/joins and virtually impossible to rectify. Go for Predator/Motad. 2. The left exit exhaust has two terrible joins where the front downpipes meet the rear but other than that is a pretty good bit of kit. It's relatively easy to rectify if you can weld stainless and mine is producing 106.6 fwhp (97.1 rwhp) with this exhaust. The welding is nice and neat throughout and the sound is awesome (spud in or out). Stew
