  1. Years ago I bought Feddies 6th gen VFR that he used for two-up rides at the school. Other than the suspension and stickers it was stock, and he could fly on that bike. Me, not so much.....

  3. That was mildly entertaining, and food for thought, but MCN did chemical analysis every 2 weeks for 6 months with Ethanol Free gas. Any bike/car that sits for long periods of time should have Ethanol Free gas in it. My lawn mower likes E-0 better as well, the snow blower is stored with no fuel. Climate will also play a role, as where I live the humidity level is often below 30% and sometimes below 10%.
  4. Years ago Motorcycle Consumer News did a 6 month scientific test of fuel stabilizers. By far the best rating went to Startron. Switching from Sta-bil to Startron has proved to reduce issues with our fleet (now 70+) of MSF training bikes which sit for 3 months a year. It has also helped with the too many carbureted bikes in my garage, some of which see only 500-1k miles per year. YRMV
  5. Just sent a PM with the same comments as Tim 😂

  7. Way back when we put a 180 on a Hawk GT with a Dymag wheel. Mounted and measured 4-5 tires and found the Pirellis were considerably narrower, and the only one that didn't rub..
  8. HP gains and Weight savings were not really very noticeable to me, with limited miles before adding it. However, looks wise it's a winner. With db killer in it is not LOUD, but a slight bit more soulful. YRMV...
  9. Pretty much agree with you. Feels like a very good "modern" bike, nice gearbox, and the whole thing feels tight. My 5th gen has suspension, Sargent, and Helibars. 4th gen has suspension, corbin, and Helibars. Both have Staintune pipes. Even with risers the 8th gen ergos are a bit much for my 60+ year old bones. It would be great on the track. The smooth quiet air flow is awesome, after 2 years with a Tracer GT and 1 year with a Multistrada which are LOUD even with shorty windshields. Jury is still out, but not looking good for the 8th gen.....
  10. Finally some good pics. Full Moon on the rise tonight. Not as "Super" as expected, but still pretty cool.
  11. Contemplated...... Do I really need 3 VFRs ? Picked up an 8th gen DLX thinking it could be the "One" vfr. Rode the 4th and 5th yesterday for the 1st time in months. Tomorrow the 8th and 5th go head to head. After 10+ years, and about a dozen other bikes, the 4th and 5th have remained. Ergos, looks, sound, feel, they just do it for me. The last time I had three VFRs, the 6th gen was voted off the island. The new to me 8th gen may be the weakest link.... Tomorrow...
  12. not great pics, but it looks pretty good.

  14. About 600 miles away, Northern Utah 😉 We have way more than just the Red Rock southern part.
