  1. Sold the red 2010 VFR FD this weekend and ordered a 2020 Honda CRF 1100L (Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES). We will hang onto my wife's blue 2012 VFR 1200 FD until we get to do a good evaluation come spring when both the new bike and decent riding weather appears. If Sarah likes the AT as well we'll swap her bike out too. We ride together and the bikes are different types of tools. She'll leave me in the dust on the highway and I'll leave her on the highway when I'm in the dust. 

    Nothing wrong with my VFR at all. It was a flawless and exhilarating ride for the just under 100,000 km I had it. My sign off shows everything we added to it. No more room in garage for another bike (or time to ride two) so off to another lucky rider it will go. We still have the blue VFR so I'll keep hanging around VFRD to observe the goings on.

      The adventure AT model looks like sweet touring machine. Honda is definitely paying attention to that market segment.

      Ya that's what swung me over. Looks like a good touring bike with some off road chops as well. Looked at Gold Wing last year but just too heavy for what I wanted. The new AT will probably have an 80/20 bias to asphalt touring for my use so hope it does the trick.

  2. Recently (this spring) moved from Toronto to Calgary. For 5 years we rode out from Toronto to western Canada anyway so might as well move to where we like to ride. Know another couple who we just turned onto VFR's since we got here. She has new 8th Gen white VFR 800 and he has a 6th Gen black one he just bought last week. I'll see if I can't get a group shot before the shit weather hits here and haul out with the four of us to this event in 2018. Sure enough took this picture Friday and we had snow Sunday night. Hopefully we make the ride to SD this spring.

    "Why does it take you so long to get ready?" Normally what you hear husbands say not wives, maybe I've lost a step?

    5 year old suit still hanging in there. Switched out my Schuberth for this new Corsair. Working out well.

    First ride for the wife in her new Ugly Bros Motopool riding pants. Did the Highwood Pass Loop through Kananaskis country.

    Funny sign in Salmon Arm where the forest fire danger was severe. had two days of riding through heavy smoke from Kamloops and up through the Rogers Pass - tunnels filled with smoke.

    The call of the West

    After riding our VFR's across Canada to Calgary every summer for 5 years we thought we might as well stick around.

    So far so good

    Big sighs of relief, both upright and in one piece.

    Chose a reputable company with a proven track record of getting your ride there in one piece.

    Turns out when they loaded the bikes they did not turn ignitions entirely to off position. Minor issue. Battery tender brought everything back to life. Both bikes fully functional now and ready for another ride through the mountains, which are now next door.

    Anticipation is making me wait ....
