All 19- Back on the VFR: 5th gen Givi side cases recommendation I haven't spent much time on VFRD lately. I'm down to one 5th gen from the two I had a few years ago. I also bought a few Moto Guzzi's, and have been doing most of my riding on them. But now I find myself back riding…
- not a zombie..yet... gll429, Was wrenching the likely cause of your CTS? I'm like you--I would have wanted to watch, but likely would have distracted the doc with lots of pain-in-the-ass questions. I hope you heal well and soon! BTW, both…
- At a crossroads I had a major crash six years ago--hit a deer, had 21 bone fractures and a punctured lung. Physically, I have not been the same since--I used to be a devoted runner, but now can barely manage to jog a few miles a week.…
- Turning left VS's turning right Left-handers are much easier for me, but I have no idea why. Jon
- So what cool stuff did you get for X-mass wife got: heated vest, winter riding gloves, new Arai helmet I got: heated vest VFR's got: mounting bracket for Givi topcase Motto Guzzi Norge got: Throttlemeister, mirrors from MG Breva Sport Jon
- Your Favorite place / Where would you like to go? If I were to be starting out in MN, I'd consider these four week-long rides: 1. Custer, SD: lots of nice riding in the Black Hills, Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park, Badlands, and, of course Wall Drug. Avoid going near…
- Where to retire? East-central AZ (NE of Tucson) is at a high enough elevation as to not be too hot during the summer, but the winter is extremely brief. Same is true of SW NM. The cost of living in the general area is relatively low and…
- Plugged Tire I used to replace punctured tires right away, but no more--at least not punctured rears. In fact, one of my 5th gens currently has two worm plugs in the rear Pilot Road 2. The tire is relatively new, so I didn't want to…
- Stator, RR, wires connector fried Knife, Check your yellow stator wires. Are they hot?
- Stator, RR, wires connector fried Quote I wonder if anyone has tried a compu-fire regulator on a VFR? I am also curious about this, because I have replaced the entire charging system on one of my 5th gens, and the wires from the stator still get hot; I…
- How far can I ride in 7-8 days? It depends on sooooo many factors, such as how old you are, how much of a hurry you are in, and what roads you choose. However, if you are on a very long ride, 500-600 miles per day becomes pretty routine. When I have…
- Poll: Does the VFR (5th+) have enough power to keep you happy? My last primary ride was a CBRXX, so I gave up a lot of HP when I bought the VFR. However, I seldom miss the feeling of getting my arms ripped out of their sockets when I accelerate hard---well, I do every once in a…
- Burnt Connectors Knife, Which R/R was in place? Upgraded Honda OEM? Jon
- external tire plugging I picked up a nail in a nearly new rear Pilot road about a month ago. It seemed a shame to toss a new tire, so I put a worm plug in it. So far no leaks, but due to the weather I haven't ridden on it much. This is on the…
- Decisions, Decisions, Decisions..... Thanks for the input, but discussion with my wife lead me to make choice #1, so I won't buy a new bike this spring, but will put $ into improving my '98 VFR. My job is very secure, but she is concerned about hers, and…
- Decisions, Decisions, Decisions..... Sold my CBRXX yesterday, so now there is room in the garage and I have enough $$ to buy a new '07 VFR; there are some great deals on non-current models. However, I am having trouble deciding if the purchase would be a…
- Might Buy New '07 I still have my '03 Blackbird for sale on this and a few other boards, but someone has agreed to buy it--haven't closed the deal, but I am confident that it will soon be sold. I will use the money from the sale as a…
- How To Make A Rwb Anniversary Look Better. Like conedodger, I'd like to know where these great deals on new '07's are. I'm looking for one. Don't have to have the RWB, but I'd prefer it.
- How To Make A Rwb Anniversary Look Better. [image: View Post]RE-Agent, on Feb 15 2009, 11:35 AM, said: I've mentioned here before that in 1991 I bought a perfect RWB 1986 with 1,079 miles on it. At first I thought that the RWB looked a little too Captain America…
