    Hi Stray: Thanks for the kind comment. She's a rider, not a trailer queen as she has about 125,000 kilometers on her. You will be pleased to know the rear rim is from the UK, it was on my 3rd Gen I had while working there a few years back.

    Thanks Miguel, that is a sight for sore eyes right now. There is 2 feet of snow on the ground now and since it snows until late April here its unlikely I'll be taking another pic like this anytime soon.
  5. Still really like that bike, road it cross country in 2012. Surprisingly able despite the riding position Bit of a blunderbus against today's sniper rifles, but not bad for a 35 year old Honda.
  6. 🍺 Yep, pretty much nailed it. Did the same thing when I got my JIS screwdrivers about 6 years ago. I even had the one that was an impact screwdriver. I can still hear the crickets chirping after my proud post. 😉

    serious run off

    I honestly think the 4th Gen VFR in Italian Red is the nicest looking mass produced bike ever made. Sure I'm biased, but still I never get tired looking at them. Great pic!
  8. Have a quick look on ebay here in the Sates and these showed up.

    Not the prettiest but looks serviceable. I would contact him to verify what he means by some damage, hopefully its the pitting on the top. He says he ships to many countries also. Regards, Michael

      I sent you a PM with everything I have.

  9. Thanks mate, I'll bug my brother the welder (nukes, now jet engines) if something like that is possible on a 4th Gen.
  10. Great, great photo. I am curious about the six pack rack on the tail with a seat cover. Any chance you could post a few close ups? Thanks.
  11. Read Cogswells post incorrectly. Posted thinking it was a 5th gen bike. Mea Culpa. Post is gone now, for good reason. I finally looked at the bike and the post. So, where are my reading glasses again? ……………………………………...

    How true. When my daughter graduated a few years back I drove my Sabre to Las Vegas and flew my daughter there. I didn't want her to deal with the eastern seaboard traffic. We then drove to San Diego, then up the coast on rt 1 and 101 to the Olympic Peninsula, then up to the Canadian border. then down to 90, then 94 to northern Minn. Around the great lakes and up in to upstate NY and across the mountains and back to Maine. She watched girls surfing in Mission Beach. North of LA we would pull off the coast road and head inland and have lunch at Farm stands, fruit, veggies, cheese, whatever was on offer. When I dragged my collector and peg in a corner on Rt 20, she didn't panic. When I stopped for a day just south of SF to work on the bike at a friends house, she took it in stride. We crossed the Golden Gate in the fog and later stopped at a quiet section of road for her to take some pictures of fur seals on the beach. In Northern Calf a buddy stopped by in the morning and took us to a stand of Redwoods well off the beaten path. We had to hike in for 20 minutes or so, but I will never forget the look on my daughters face when we got there. With a high wind warning and hundreds of Semis pulled off the road we crossed the Columbia river Bridge at a 30 degree angle, ill advised to say the least. We spent 3 days in pouring rain on the Olympic Peninsula and Puget Sound before parking it up in Bellingham. I was sitting in the hotel lobby nursing a beer, having a talk with myself when my daughter walked by on her way to the pool. "Where are we going tomorrow" Ummm, Montana, about 12 hours I replied. "OK" she said. Despite not having any dry gear for the past 3 days, she was undeterred. In 26 days we covered 7100 miles and she never complained once. To say we bonded on that trip would be an understatement. So Thank You Maxswell for your comment, it brought back so many good memories.

    From the album: Assorted V4's

    A Spring ride with my daughter a few years back in northern New Hampshire.
  14. From the album: Assorted V4's

    Along Rt 16, where New Hampshire, Maine and Quebec's borders meet. Quiet, peaceful and no traffic. I backed off the throttle and put the tour into Sport Touring...….

    Close Encounters

    Nice looking VFR, and a great photo. Devils Tower in Wyoming.
  16. On my 4th Gen. swapped out my 45/45 's with H4 55/60 's about 4 years ago. Reason I did was I could not find an oem bulb anywhere near me. Nearest Hondas dealer is a 100 mile RT. No wiring problems, but a few months before that I had the fairings off, so I went and cleaned and dielectriced every connector I could reach as a preventive measure.
  17. Great photo, another millimeter and you're dragging hard parts.

    That photo looked so familiar for some reason. Wasn't until I read the caption that I realized my daughter and I were on the stretch of road back in 2011 when we went cross country. Got off Rt. 1 headed north just before Cambria to stay in Paso Robles for the night, then next morning headed back to the coast again on Rt 46.
