I am going to shut down vfrd soon
Hawkeye Driver replied to HispanicSlammer's topic in Site Comments, Help, & Support
HispanicSlammer, As has been said countless times on this thread, THANK YOU, for all the blood, sweat, and likely tears that you’ve put into this site. I am a member of some other threads (motorcycles and car models), but nothing comes close to the professionalism, comprehensiveness and world wide reach of VFRD. I’ve been a member since 2006, after reading an article in one of the moto rags that mentioned VFRD. I still hit the site almost every day, looking for the endless nuggets of wisdom that are here. I totally under stand moving on, it happens to all of us. All that said, you should be justifiably proud of what you’ve created here. It is truly one of a kind and will be missed, but not forgotten. -

Question for those that are using this. When correct the speed display, does it affect the Odometer reading? In other words, does it throw the ODO off. I ask because my speedo (6th gen stock sprockets) appears 10 percent fast but the ODO seems near perfect. Thoughts?

Silly question - What is that black spot/hole on the fuse cover panel? I see it on both sides. If it is a hole, what is the purpose, if any? OBTW, fabulous look!

It's stock color (R-157 I think). Photo was taken late in the day when the sun was below the ridge line. -
Call this number (1-866-784-1870) and have your VIN ready. They should have on file what recalls are required and which have been done.

On my bike, I've gotten pulled over twice. The first time was back in college when I only had a learners permit. It was late Saturday night and I was headed home from work. I was speeding. Also, riding at night and without a helmet was illegal for learners permit types like myself. Strikes 2 and 3 for me. He quized me at length and eventually let me go. He was on drunk patrol that night and I didn't fit the bill and he didn't want to deal with the paperwork. 10 years ago I pulled over on my CBR in San Diego doing 125 on I-15. I thought I was going to get a ride in the back of his cruiser wearing handcuffs. Nope, he read me the riot act and told me the paperwork wasn't worth his time because guys like me end up dead. I am older and wiser now but that beautiful VFR makes an attractive target for cops. I have been pulled over more times than I can count in my cage. The most recent was 4 years ago as age has made me fatter but also wiser. With all that I have only gotten one ticket. I have found that being polite and honest goes a long way. When asked, I have always fessed up to my speed. I suppose no warrents helps too.
