The CHP troll that area often, there's always someone to pinch. I'm with Lee: pay the money and move on. (and be wiser!)

What sad news, he didn't survive the accident.

Wow, that's a whole lotta kilometers! :)

I rode my 2006 VFR for 70k+ miles around Southern California. I didn't really baby my VFR, changing the oil and consumables "when it was necessary" e.g. sometimes 8k for oil and utterly worn pads or sloppy chain and sprockets. Aside from stuck thermostat(s), replacing the cam chain tensioners front and back at least once, and giving up on an electrical short which kept eating fuses unless I unplugged the lower rear brake bulb, the bike just ran like an appliance. But one with grunt and soul :) I think my last valve adjustment was at 35k miles or so...

"You're pulling (my leg), right?"

You are creating some fantastic memories, keep it up!

A 4th-generation VFR, of course!

Damn it, Honda. Just when I'd resolved to ride the wheels off my bought-new in 2006 '06....they issue this thing. I wouldn't buy the first year model, but and updated 800cc V4 is what I've been awaiting all these years. Even my old man asked "when are you going to get a new bike?"

Hmm, it might be the time to replace my '06 with this new black/silver version!

Your are putting together a great collection of memories here.

I'm with Dutchy.

Why, a 4th-gen, of course!

Next thing you know, VFRD-ers will be performing concert security It's nice to get a letter like that.

Well, it seems like a rather low-tech, but perhaps effective solution. Though I have to ask myself, what about the control, or loss of control one might get, in terms of contact patch? I mean, what if somebody just gets in over their head (not pointing any fingers here!) and then they freak out even more, once they start tapping along a sequence of these? Though arguably, you should behave wisely, such that you're in your own lane anyway. When it comes to these highways, it's easy to get carried away. I don't ride much on weekends more as I've devolved into a hardcore "commuter" (7/365, rain or blistering heat, I ride) but some of the crazy, chance-y riding I've seen on these roads...watching it, I want to ride faster, but being solidly in my 30s, I ease off on the thottle and remind myself of Papa Honda-san's words: "Stupid hurts".
