Must say that after my wrist operations 2018, I was happy to ride a adventure bike, as my wrist do had limited movement. First had a 2011 1200GS Beemer, was not my bike, so traded it for a 1200 SuperTenere, like it a lot! But after son didn´t take the licence for a 125, and the bike I buoght for him (and fixed to top shape) , a 2009 Yamaha XT125X, It was just geathering dust, I put it up for sale. Actually got 2 trade suggestions for it, other was a 1986 Kawasaki GPZ500R (yes not a 600, thanks to cc tax things, like why the 86/87 VFR was a 700 in US...), nice runner, as a 1990 CBR1000F! The later happens to be in the town I live in, so did have a look at it, and decided to make the straight trade. Was thinking the CBR, if I don´t like or can ride it, would be more easy to sell... Former owner has had it for 12 years, during that time has been served in a shop I know the owner. Bike has Milage meter, buoght from UK to Finland in 2000...So what has been done to the Bike that has 59k miles on the odo, Cam change as tensioner change some 10 years ago, a dynojet stadge 1 kit some 4 years back, after that bike has hardly been used. What else, aside a Devil 4-2-1 full system (that came whit 2 mufflers, a legal as a race) the bike is pretty much stock, Seat had a tear in the cover as has been reshaped..But found a nice seat for 70€ 🙂 . Front tire is a new BT023, rear a toasted Z6 That I replaced whit a Diablo (DOT 2019 so fresh!) (got it for 99€, in case I sell the bike) The foot pegs where quit worn so got a new set aftermarket ones I also found the bike has still its oem tool kit, cool A other thing I did change was throttle wires, as operation was not smooth. And the fuel had to be changed to! didn´t smell as fuel anymore, but bike did start whit it, did not run great thro! So I hoped fresh fule would make it run better, well yes as not. Added a bottle of STP injection cleaner also to the fresh fuel. Eventually it has started to run better, aside higher than 7k rpm its not as powerfull it should, guess I need to clean the carburettors after all, but for noemal cruising it runs OKish, and sure is a fast beast! Now to the dilemma, keep or not... well we have to see The great thing is I can ride it whit my wrist! It´s a 1990 so could get as classic next year, bu would need a oem exhaust..... will meet a classic inspector Sunday to tell me what else needs to be done... as I buoght the seat, also buoght a set of oem exhaust muffler heat shealds, would fit whit the Devil exhaust (right side only)

Hi Guys and Gals, I know we are all a bunch of conscientious law-abiding citizens so I thought I would chuck up the link and summary PDF of the Australian Design Rules (ADR) in relation to motorcycles for my fellow Aussie compatriots. The summary provides a basic run down of the do's & don'ts and provides a list of the relevant ADR's to look at if further detail is required to be researched. Information is power after all and its good to know where you stand should the boys in blue or regulatory inspector start asking questions about your ride. https://infrastructure.gov.au/roads/motor/design/adr_online.aspx NCOP8_Section_LL_Motor-Cycles_and_3WheelVehicles_01Jan2011_v2.pdf

A 1350 mile motorcycle adventure from Phoenix to Telluride round trip. A much needed escape from work, stress and city traffic. A chance to ride the famed "Million Dollar Highway" No camera gear, no set ups. Just a long ride in the mountains with a few buddies. After much internal debate on whether to mount Go Pro's on the bike and myself at the last moment I opted not to. Escaping from work as I was saying, ment from Hollywood as a commercial camerman the last 15 years. The last thing I wanted to think about was filming. I just wanted to go for a long ride. This was my first long trip on the VFR that I had just bought from my brother in law Matt. (He's the one riding the silver Concourse in the vid.) Once we hit the open road I regretted that decision and found myself yet again armed with only my iPhone. Luckily, I threw in an Ollo Clip wide angle just in case we stopped long enough for a picture at the occasional landmark. Not sure how the footage would turn out I began shooting as we crossed the Monument Valley in Utah. Keeping the phone in my tank bag I set the pro camera app and clipped on the wide angle. When the road and speed limits permitted I would reach in and grab the phone left handed while keeping a modest death grip on the throttle with the right hand. Surprisingly the footage turned out much smoother than imagined. This was all an experiment with the iPhone 4s while aboard my VFR. So, with no real direction other than trying to capture the fall beauty of the magnificent aspen lined roads of the Rocky Mountains what you see is our weekend get away. Enjoy! Daryl
