  1. Let us know how you like them once you get some miles in. I went Roadsmart 3 on both of my VFRs, but wouldn't mind saving some dosh next time around.
  2. Brake pads close to end of life? Hardly...unless they're a lot thinner on the side we can't see. Clean them up with a brass brush and clean the rotors and run those suckers. New pads are only a few mm thick, so what looks like 1.5-2.0mm left is probably 1/2 to 1/3 of life left...so 10k miles?
  3. Efficient way to carry spare O-rings?
  4. More advice, semi-solicited, I guess! I'd start with the right spring rates, sag, and damping adjustment. Modifying geometry before that won't likely give you a good result under any stressed conditions. And having a bike set up properly for you is so much more enjoyable, and safe, to ride. I would add setting up controls, as most of them point to the sky creating all kinds of bad body position. Get good body position, still critical for normal on road duties. Then geometry. Then ergos. It sounds like a lot of work, but it really isn't, and the outcome is so much better! Good luck. Let us know how it goes.
  5. Which VFR is this? No years in your profile info. Try not to fix one problem with creating another. If you have a suspension or geometry issue, PSI won't fix it even if it makes it "feel" better under normal circumstances.
  6. Not for mine, but for YOU! Saw these on C-list today and thought someone might be able to use them. https://charlotte.craigslist.org/mpo/d/matthews-genuine-honda-saddlebags-for/7705840764.html
  7. Mine was well under $200 for front and back for each car during a recent sale. Prices have been falling while the level of tech/image quality is improving. That's something!
  8. Why is there a bloke standing in the middle of the street? 🙂
  9. To me (not knocking this as a choice), not being able to see plates and faces makes it useless as proof.
  10. Can anyone read any of the plates? I can't.
  11. Only 9 years old? lol Yea...I'd get rid of those! They're probably fine for running around, but I wouldn't want to have to rely on them in an emergency situation.
  12. Is the 6G more reliable than the 5G in general? Are the yellow wires a thicker gauge?
  13. One model Dunlop did it too a long time ago.
  14. My days would not be complete if I didn't watch the daily 10 minute dose from these guys. Be aware...it'll make you want to stay home under your covers. https://www.youtube.com/@MegaDrivingSchool/videos
  15. Is the structure cut or is it just rubber?
  16. If you see a driver in America...you'll not likely see them driving well. They stop for almost nothing here in Charlotte. No red lights. No stop signs. No yielding in rotaries. It's pretty grim. One of countless examples from yesterday on my first ride of the year ride. A newbie would have just ben squished. What does meathead's tiny penis truck and huge trailer rig weigh. 10k-20k pounds?
  17. Just paint them both the same black. 🙂
  18. until

    We're so getting our money's worth! 🙂
  19. until

    FYI, the period is in the link keeping it from working. Just remove it from the address after you click it. 🙂
  20. Sounds like fun. Let me know if you get any rates sorted. I've lost at that game too many times to book without them.
  21. No idea, but did you even try Google? https://www.iomtt.com/tt-database/events/races?mach_id=1660 https://www.rideapart.com/news/680732/john-mcguinness-vfr800-track-day/ Older: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_VFR750F https://www.bemoto.uk/blog/dream-rides-honda-rc30-vfr750r Not a lot out there with a quick search. Smarter people will post!
  22. The Supertrapp cans that I've owned have been some of my favorites, and I hate loud.
  23. Here: https://www.youtube.com/@MegaDrivingSchool/videos We'll see you in a year when you get through all of them and realize they're all current...and there's no shortage of material available. Aside from the bad driving, the common theme seems to be that we're a country of liars. Video is proof.
  24. My cars all have a Viofo in them. They're pretty great. Wonky interface, but that seems true for all of them.
  25. Love the frame and engine colors. Blue and black would go nicely with those.
