  46. Why do you post on VFRD 7 Nov 2010 03:52 Good, clean, (mostly) mature interaction over a common interest. The tech and ride reports are the best, and we don't argue too much about which tires are the best.

  50. Tell Us Your Favorite Modifications. 17 Jun 2010 02:40 For me it would be the 929 shock for $30 (the swingarm was free!), the ZG touring windscreen $80, and the 'VFRness'-type electrical enhancements done with parts I already had. Priceless!
