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.

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.

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.

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

As always slo1. You obviously have a very good eye for composition, lighting etc. Very nice shot mate.

Sorry, can’t figure out how to like the image, but it’s lovely and really caught my eye when I pitched up today.

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

Nice. I have soft spot for bridges 🙂

"Only The Lonely" seems to apply here,

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.

Nice shot!

Has to be one of the best. A really well seen and captured photo. Magnificent lighting and color.

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.

Still awesome 👍

Fall colours and a red VFR, with left exit exhaust no less, makes for a great photo.

Suck less: Great words to live by.

Southern, heck, most of Utah, esp. Moab to Zion by the long route, is my favorite place to ride and camp. Like being on another planet.

Love seeing the two 5th gens, of course, but pretty cool to see a photo of that Buell! Very rare bike now.

Wrights View south of Laporte, PA.

Point of Rocks, Maryland. New upper and left side cowl. Repainted front fender, left meter cover, and rear cowl with Color Rite R157. Tank is still original but faded a bit on the top right hand side.

Very Cool!

Solid as a rock!

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.

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

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!
