Terrific shot, slo1, a magical time of day showcasing a lovely 5th gen

I know exactly where that spot is, St S, because Sonora Pass is one of my favourite roads in California. Though I always seem to cross it westbound.

Heading down from Sherman Pass to Hwy 395, homeward bound form my trip toe the 2004 WSB at Laguna Seca. Looks like Mars.

Great shot, slo1. You're definitely pointed in the right direction 'cause those clouds look quite unfriendly.

Sweet.

Glad you like it, Cogs, I was pleased that it came out so well, myself.

very cool to see your VFR with a night cityscape as background

Looks like a great place for a ride. Amazing how much it resembles so much of the terrain in BC, Washington, Oregon, and California where I've toured.

2006 VFRs were available in all-white - was yours? Did you go with gloss white or is there some pearl in it as well?

It looks great as-is so no need for the '06's  oe graphics.

Lovely photo with great colour. The bike ain't half bad either.

Great evening light during the summer solstice, dramatic clues behind, and a shiny red bike in the foreground - what's not to like. Well done

Oh my, what a lovely scene - the bike ain't half bad either.

With luck, and an end to the pandemic restrictions I hope to return to Cali next summer

Like so many places along PCH this is one at which I've never stopped. Added to my 2022 wish list.

The road can't be worse than Santa Rosa Creek or the west end of Nacimiento-Fergusson roads - can it?

Great light and a lovely bike, but with a full moon you'd best keep an eye out for werewolves.

Scenes like this remind me of why I love long road trips.

Cool pairing. My 1st VFR was a red '91 VFR750 and my 2nd a red VFR800. I'm partial to gold ('91) or white ('98) wheels, tho

I love this photo, slo1. The red VFR stands out and the curves leading to the mountains make you want to jump on and GO!

Really evocative shot, Convoy. One small change that'd make it even better, imho, is if your bike was just a little further away from the structures to its right side.

That is a very pretty motorbike

I recognize that spot - along a beach in Redwood NP, just north of Klamath. Surprisingly, I enjoyed nicer wx when I stopped there only a couple weeks after dadofseven.

Love photos like this that show places I'd really like to ride.

The swoop road reminds me of a spot on Montana's Hwy 78, looking south towards Red Bluff.

Those two bikes make quite a pair. Back in 1993 I bought my first VFR, a '91 red w/gold wheels and grey seat. And soon after my pal Doug bought a red 907ie just like the one in your photo. An awful lot of water under the bridge since then.

Not too shabby for a 30 year old bike 😉

Love the Euro graphics, too

Fall colours and a red VFR, with left exit exhaust no less, makes for a great photo. 

Last time I was on this road it was ~4:00 in the morning. There were about a bazillion stars in the sky but I was too cold to stop and enjoy 'em. I'd spent a chilly night on the side of the road a few miles east after finding there was nary a room to be had in Blanding. Fortunately, dawn had come as I neared Hanksville - time for coffee.

I'm seldom out near dawn or dusk so I admire your work ethic. Lovely shot that stands apart from the majority.
