Well i just pulled out my VFR the other day and i was inspired to get started on the refresh of the suspension and knew this was still the best resource of information on the web. 😞 so many names are familiar either we met in person or in the constant banter here.. Thanks HS for all you have done for so many of us.  PS what was the final decision on what oil i should use?

Hi Axel_7,

Thank you for your donation of 25.00 USD. We look forward to improving the forums with your donation.

Thanks VFRDiscussion

Tony RE activate your FB ACCOUNT and it will be easy to find it and voila Remember click album name to see all of them. Rob and the two of us had a great day from Cody thru Yellowstone Early and them up to the Berkley pit in Butte then back to Missoula where will part ways till next adventure

Tammy has posted a link to a album with tons of photos on Vfrd people on Facebook for those that are not FB Friends

Sitting in Sheridan. Four hour ride tomorrow. Hope you save some fun stories for when we pull in

We all are in Missoula doing great. Kevin I hope you figure out the fix. Maybe talk to tightwad about express shipping something to you

8 of us sitting in Wilbur WA. Headed to meet the rest of the train in Lewiston for lunch

This tangerine 🍊 rig is ready to go.  Why is July so far away still.  New sprockets, chain, tires and brake fluids.   Now only thing missing are Didits gps loops.  

I second that!

But does anybody know what oil I should be using for this trip

Also is Lee2002 going to be bringing M&M’s for the group

That would be me  It was cool to see the herd of VFR's stream into Fossil last year.  So this year I will be participating in the V4 orchestra with the Aprilia.

 

I haven't decided if I will be riding from Portland or trailering to LaGrande and riding from there.  I knock off almost 900 miles if I trailer to LaGrande.  The big Ape has a habit of eating rear tires and the latter option may save my bacon on this long of a trip.  The roads to LaGrande are great but I plan on covering those roads on a 3 day trip to LaGrande/Lewiston/Hell's Canyon/Baker City before the Sum Sum.  I'm coming up with around 3600 miles round trip not including 2 days riding in the SD area.

Or Meet us in Orofino ID  and Ride from that location.

Didit are you suggesting a overflow hotel?

We added the Thursday night just in case. Will cancel if we plan on route back earlier

Lets start booking this place

SUMSUM goers   please start booking rooms... If things change you can always cancel.

We just booked and Took Room #20
