Great story!

That would be a great shot for the 2014 calendar. Sweet!

Cool bike, cool shot. Very nice.

That's the nicest 4th gen on the forum. Beautiful bike.

Let's see him try that with a 5th or a 6th gen . . . !

Sherman tanks were nicknamed "Ronsons" by allied soldiers in Europe after the popular cigarette lighter they used which had the slogan "Lights first time, every time". German artillery could easily penetrate the tank's armor, exploding the ammunition. There were about 50,000 built.

Now I'm really happy I passed on the FJR I was looking at when I bought the 6th gen!

Does that say "VFR 840" or are my eyes playing tricks on me? If so I'd like to know (and see!) more about that!

Nice!

The white wheels with the black is an inspired combination - very sharp!

I was there in 2007 and kept thinking "this would be a fantastic area to ride in - interesting roads, great scenery, friendly people".

Northern Italy / Austria / S. Germany would be a fabulous M/C trip. It's on my bucket list.

Keep your eyes peeled for deer - seem 'em both times I've ridden that stretch.

The 84 deg C temp indicated converts to 183 deg F. Hmmm . . .

My 2 favorites - a VFR and '56 F-100.

Nicely done! :fing02: I had to do a double take to realize the 6g OEM bags were on a 4th gen. Looks like outstanding workmanship. This looks like the OEM system Honda should have made for the earlier generations. In some ways the mounting rack looks somehow cleaner than on the 6 gen set up. I'm sure there would be interest in how you were able to accomplish this if you have pics of the build and posted them. I'd love to see this on a 98-01.
