Luckily, I was not standing in the freshly digged grave and was not talking to Hamlet. But the picture I saw was not prettier. I was standing in front of a bike lying on her side and almost obscenely showing her guts. I don't know about you, but I feel that there is something ungodly and disturbing about bike down. It is never a pretty sight. The bike, nicely painted roadster with not much chrome, was lying on my favorite spot. I was too late to repark my Hawk GT and a guy who parks in the same area, snatched my spot. Just couple days ago, we parked next to each other on the oposite side of

On Saturday, I decided to visit my friend in New Jersey. I zoomed through George Washington Bridge and enjoyed about 20 miles of nice freeway speed. Soon, I turned into his neighborhood. I remembered that the last time, I was almost hit by a car coming onto a street from nearby parking lot and thus slowed down. I was on the typical road in the shopping rural area. Two lanes each way, hard median and rather wide shoulder on the side. I kept my distance from ugly looking SUV in front of me and scanned for incoming traffic from the side. When suddenly, the SUV back doors opened and the driv

I will try to beat the parking tix - they were written within 1 hour. But I think you are right that the rash on the side with bunch of duct tape put them off - or they were just couple of drunks fidgeting with a motorcycle.... I guess we will never know But I have to say, the police was impressive ... the undercover was perfect - looked like bunch of 20 year old drinking in the car :-) and they arrived amazingly fast! Did not expect that at all...

Do you mean the "90degrees rotated V-sign" inserts on the side panels? I actually agree with you - I saw those inserts ones ONLY ones on ebay made from carbon fiber and I was too slow to bid ... I regret that till today ... M.

Haha, in this particular pic I have t-shirt on which says with bold yellow letters "I am not dead yet!" ... but I would wear yours too :-) You are right that the headlights confuse people... anyway, I wrote more about the bike in its own thread I had to start: http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=24852 Thanks, M.

Thursday was just a weird day. In the morning, I have discovered that I got two parking tickets during one hour over night. I did not want to leave my VFR there anymore, so I rode her to work. From then, the crap started just pile up. I went home that night and first I realized that I left my knee protectors at work (which complicated my planned Friday ride out to upstate NY because I never ride without proper gear) and then it took me forever to find the 'right' parking spot for her. I had to park her on the street (since I did not want to get more tickets) but I managed to find a spot visi

It is my 750 VFR 4th generation with some custom body work, custom underseat exhaust and chrome wheels.
