I wish I had 5% of this guys initiative and craftsmanship. Thanks for the videos, made my day.

I’ve been wondering if there’s a modern retrofit mirror with integrated signals...

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Some nice reading. Thanks for sharing!

I put off a VFR for decades, now that I bought one I don’t know why I didn’t sooner. 2007 Candy Glory Red here. Welcome aboard.

Welcome and good for you helping an old tired girl out!

That looks awesome! Great job!

Yesterday was a decent sunny day for MidAtlantic/CNJ with some wind and partly sunny 45 degrees F, so I took a nice ride on my local loop to see how the liner on my Astars Andes Drystar worked. Seems good to about 40 F no issues. I like the longer cut and coverage over the typical shorter race style jackets, and the textile ‘touring’ fit was very comfortable in the colder weather. My new Held summer gloves (Airstream II) were fine too, my hands really didn’t bother me at all after 60 miles of riding both highway and backroads in cooler weather. Also the new Shoei (RF1200 Flagger) worked great without the breathguards in place, the pinlock visor system (first I’ve owned) is worth it. I’d highly recommend any of these items for both hot summer as well as down to cooler fall riding. https://www.alpinestars.com/andes-v2-drystarr-jacket https://shop.held.de/en/men-s/gloves/touring/4304/summer-glove-air-stream-ii?number=002350-00.1.7 https://www.shoei-helmets.com/helmets/rf-1200.html

Excellent helpful response to the OP!

I’ve been focused on selling my last moto (SV650) for the past few months, to make room for the VFR to hibernate for winter. So this week saw the SV leave and the VFR finally get some indoor storage. It hurt me to keep it outdoors just under a cover for the past few months, it was just necessity. That said the most most moto related thing I did this week was safety wire my Thanksgiving turkey.

That is interesting. Maybe I’m missing the cause and effect, how would the CCT’s result in overheating @Urbanengineer ?

Yesterday I did a one day 945 mile round trip NJ to OH and back in my auto, and the whole time I was thinking I should’ve stretched it out to a thousand and done it on the VFR as an IronButt. So today I’m out on the VFR just for fun. It’s crisp out, but nice to be riding.

Congrats!

Looks like a job for KROIL! Good luck!

Welcome (back). Looks great!
