  1. best way to pull flywheel on 2002? 3 Jun 2019 03:54 3 hours ago, Lee 2002 I got 55,000 miles out of mine and it only gave up the ghost on a desperately hot ride across the wastelands of Nebraska. Lee2002 has the one of the most-photographed toasty stators in existence:…
  2. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 14 Jul 2018 16:54 Made it home last night at 11:15 pm, rattling clutch and all, after parting ways with panamawing and Lee2002. Thanks to Tony for allowing me to register late and for organizing a super event. This was my first big VFRD…
  3. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 13 Jun 2018 03:56 Just to make things more complicated, I'm a late addition (riding up with Lee 2002) and am looking to split a room if possible. I figured I would check here before calling and getting a room on my own.
  4. Gouda? That Is Cheese No? 8 Apr 2013 01:43 Nice pictures. I predict this thread will elicit no less than 6,235 cheesy puns.
  5. 3Rd Gen Seat Latch? Need Pics 15 Jan 2013 20:13 Sounds like you're on the right track. I regularly check the tightness of that fastener/bolt, because I've had the whole assembly come apart twice.
  6. Fairings For 3Rd/4Th/5Th Gens Made In Uk 29 Dec 2012 15:39 The parts are listed as not available. Well that's not nice of them.

  8. VFR sighted on Onion website. 3 Oct 2012 00:20 Sheesh, what a lame audience. It's hilarious :laugh: .
  9. Just broke down 10 Jun 2012 02:07 Glad you made it home, BR. Prior to honoring the recall, the dealer will retroactively charge you for all 5 valve adjustments you missed.
  10. POSSIBLY THE UGLIEST VFR EVER 24 Apr 2012 19:55 My eyes! My eyes!
  11. RIP Ponrod 22 Apr 2012 18:58 Very sorry to hear this.
  12. Old school stickers on 5th Gen 19 Apr 2012 20:57 Very cool.
  13. Man on the Move..... 1 Oct 2011 01:28 Glad Pat's very-small group was good. Sorry I missed you, but I'm glad Lee came over and gave you a surprise. I saw you heading out of town (south on Iowa) this morning on my way to campus. I waved like a dork but don't…
  14. The Gentleman's VFR 29 Jul 2011 22:09 I thought the VFR was the Gentleman's VFR. Thanks for the report!

  17. Turning left VS's turning right 22 Jan 2011 02:46 Another data point... mixed-handed (write, eat, bat, electric bass right-handed; throw, racket sports, knife, saw, hammer, and shoot lefty), left-eye dominant (why I shoot lefty). Right-handers are more comfortable. For…

  19. So what cool stuff did you get for X-mass 5 Jan 2011 15:00 Santa finally listened and brought me grip heaters. Woo hoo! Lee2002 and I installed them this past Thursday when, somewhat ironically, the high was 71. Lee led the effort, with me for the most part supplying an extra…

  21. Where is everyone? 7 Dec 2010 01:19 Nerding, teaching, writing, in no particular order. Ogling RC-51s, Triumphs, and the new ST-ish Ninja (which I like. Too bad it's a Kaw!).
  22. YOU HAVE ALL WAITED PATIENTLY TO SEE THIS.. 3 Dec 2010 14:52 I was worried this was going to be a VFR-bobber thread, but all I can say is WOW! :fing02:
  23. I'm now the owner of a second motorcycle 29 Nov 2010 02:18 Lee2002 is not exaggerating one bit when he describes all the attention and admiration it gets. We had an enjoyable, first-gear ride through Topeka!

  25. Quoting entire posts in your replies 4 Nov 2010 14:08 Veefer800Canuck I notice lots of members quoting entire (lengthy) posts in their replies. It's especially bad if it's a pic-heavy post that youre quoting. /rant Trim down your own .signature while you're at it. :goofy:
