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.

Well...that's a cure for the VTEC dip........nice!

Zero drag I actually have some wheels and brakes changes in the works for this bike. Not huge performance gains, but some bling for sure. Should finish the look of this bike nicely.

I spent the time with 5 friends, we had a really good time. I needed a relaxing vacation, I rode 5 demo rides most were so so the Aprillia Tuono, that ride was insane..factory sponsored demo ride was absolutely insane. We were really flogging those bikes. Possibly replacing the veefalo. I'm debating on the mt-10 sp, or the ktm 1200gt. Both have semi active suspension. I like the Yamaha reliability and easy parts. But I really like the ktm. The Tuono is not comfortable to ride for me..fun though. I need more relaxed ergos now.

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

Nice bike and jacket!

Spot on Max!

Nice shot!

Nice shot. Was out that way in 1978 on my new CX500. Stayed at the Lake Louise Hotel on the last day they were open in Sept. Woke up to 6" of snow the next day and had to wait for a snowplow to follow him down into a valley.

The Long and Winding Road that leads to - some Great scenery. Very Nice Igrok. Where are you?

I would be hard pressed to find two nicer looking bikes in the same Photo, maybe a 1997 Ducati 750 SuperSport and my 4th Gen with white wheels would come close. Both in red of course. My 91 3rd Gen in England had a black saddle as the few I have seen in the US, so I wonder what market that was built for? Or was there an option for seat color? .Either way, great all round bikes. Kudo's on the VF1000R, a zero speed threat to ones health and safety, but a surprisingly capable sport tourer, 7,800 miles from Maine to Calf and back in 2012 and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

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.

Suck less: Great words to live by.

I'm seldom out near dawn or dusk so I admire your work ethic. Lovely shot that stands apart from the majority.

And a flash of plasma matter came from the sky, and two glorious motorcycles appeared.

What Grum said!

Washington Hwy 20.... great ride on a blue bird day!

That is a fantastic looking bike Captain, well done. It brings back very fond memories.

Solid as a rock!

The composition of this shot is on a professional level - well done!

I'm sure I've wacked well over a 100 of 'em over the years.

Why am I not surprised?

It is a lousy place to park. It could interfere with a passing Road Runner and allow the Wile E Coyote to catch our hero. (His Mileage May Vary).

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

A very cool hole in the wall place. I went once. Have to get back to Colorado!

Kel, that has to be my favourite of all the custom VF/VFRs at VFRD. And there are a lot of talented builders here.

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

So shiny it looks wet. A really "the fastest color".

Love the shallow depth of focus. The cross-eyed exhaust pipes are pretty charming ;-)
