Big H Issued A Recall On Vfr1200F And Vfr1200X Re:drive-Shafts
Parksey replied to Skids's topic in Seventh Generation VFR's
Yes. Met a rider on the TT2000 in February (2000 km in 48 hours - choose your own route in New Zealand's South Island) who sold his VFR1200 after his failed. He said he rode quite some distance over a few weeks until the occasional clonking noise annoyed him enough to get it checked out. The cushioning and some metal bits in the rose joint had disintegrated but it still meshed enough to work. He showed me pictures on his phone. -
I enjoyed it a lot. Thanks for sharing. Sent when I should be working.

The Gentle Annie is a nice road in the North Island with virtually zero traffic but the South Island is amazing. On the road from Christchurch to Queenstown the scenery changes beyond belief every hour. Flat plains then rolling hills, then weird aquamarine glacial lakes in front of snowy peaks, high country tussock, then limestone canyons and finally an alpine valley with blue lakes and craggy mountains.

From the album: Duders, New Zealand
Maraetai, Ma-rye-tie, or even myrighteye. Kids jumping off the wharf. I remember doing that as a kid here early one morning, and landing on a stingray. We both got hell of a fright. -

Nice day to take the longer way home. -

January in New Zealand. A small detour on my commute home. There's 1.5 million people just over the hill in Auckland. There were three people on the beach. Okay, two, because one had only opened the car door to let the dog out. -

Chose the coast road on the way home from work. -
