  1. Below 55 degrees, I don't even work in my garage. you're hardcore Dutchy!
  2. The only thing that could make that last pic cooler is having the tach and speedo pegged.😀 Nice work Leon! Many more.

    Ladies & Gentlemen ( and the rest of you) VFRD Fall Ride will be Sept 15-18 We will ride from Skyline Village Inn, Spruce Pine NC. It’s a great place to socialize at and ride from. There is limited room availability(welcome to western NC in fall). Pricing is $109 to $159. Based on room—one bed or two bed. Call Mitch, the Mgr, at 828-765-9394 to make a reservation. Don’t put this off if you want a room!!
  5. I hate riding a motorcycle at posted speeds! I'd propose that there should be a separate limit for motorcycles. Maybe I'll run for public office?
  6. The bushing are not bad at 11k. If they were bad, you would feel it. $1200 is robbery! VFR fork seals are easy, I did my first this past year with a little help from the Tube. JUST DO IT! I just took my new Tiger 660 in for its first service thinking that it is an oil change and it will make them happy. An hour and a half later, I got a bill for $267.41. The labor rate is $135/hr. Oil was $17.80/qt. Now that I can afford nice things, I can't afford to have them.
  7. I hope that's a generic pic or I'd steer clear. It looks too short for VFR and no provision for the brake lines. I have a Harris CF hugger on my 07 and it has held up really well. It came with one of my bikes so I have no idea if you can even buy one any longer. You might ask Seb if he'd make two. I know he has been working on one for his sixth gen in the last couple of weeks.
  8. As I read this, it hit me that I know three people with supercharged VFRs! What are the odds of that?😀
  9. I love that the roll bar is braced to the rear subframe. Wonder if the recall was done?😛

    Track day coaching

    I've never done a track day but still hope to. I ride better now at 63 than I ever have. I give all the credit to my riding friends that I've met here. I have several that are nice enough to set a pace that I can handle and then pull me up without me knowing it. Now, I find myself laughing at things that used to make me cringe. When I ride alone, I slow down and work on being where I want to be through a turn rather than my speed. Faster every time and more relaxed. It is interesting to feel my age slowing me down at the same time that I'm improving my skills. That track day needs to happen soon!😀

    Five weeks out! It won't be long until we can all start looking at the weather forecast! Tell me you don't need a ride right now.
  16. I have that performance part in RWB and can say that it made so much difference that I had to put one on the back of my helmet just to keep up.

    Now I can look forward to seeing one of my favorite VFR's! 👍

    As long as you bring The Muscle, we are all good! She'll look after us all.
