  1. Mileage Let's Rock'em 'til the wheels fall off... 25 Jun 2020 15:13 21,208 km may seem quite low to most. However, the odometer, on the 6th gen at leas., only has room for 5 digits. It reached 99,999 km or miles, which ever you have it set at, then it rolls to zero and starts over…
  2. Lower Mainland Fraser Valley Riders 25 Apr 2019 00:00 Updates? On what? There were a few issues here that could be updated for anyone who might be interested, but I don't know what. But thanks for asking regardless of what I may update.
  3. Lower Mainland Fraser Valley Riders 23 Jan 2019 19:45 1 hour ago, Dustin That bike owes you nothing at almost 220,000 km. The only value it'll have will be to you personally as nobody's going to buy it with that kind of mileage and some crash damage. Heal up and all the…
  4. Lower Mainland Fraser Valley Riders 23 Jan 2019 15:16 14 hours ago, Axel_7 So some of us PNW guys are headed to Redding Ca. in July its not a meet for say as a few other types of bikes are going. But others are welcome to the dates and location if they wanted to piggy back…
  5. Lower Mainland Fraser Valley Riders 23 Jan 2019 15:12 16 hours ago, Polarbear . Sorry about the mishap Randy. Sooooo... are you riding this summer then?? Are you getting another, better surgeon?? Just wondering... C Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I will be riding this…
  6. Lower Mainland Fraser Valley Riders 22 Jan 2019 19:00 Disregard my last post about being restricted in my riding this coming summer. I fired my orthopedic surgeon. Surgery is off for now, maybe forever. Gawd I hate this asshole, and most doctors for that matter. My GP is…
  7. Lower Mainland Fraser Valley Riders 21 Jan 2019 19:52 A friendly bump to keep this thread alive. After a few delays, some my choice and one because of a Motor Cycle boo boo back pm October 26 last year that ended up with a fractured ego and fractured ankle, my awaited…
  8. Lower Mainland Fraser Valley Riders 13 Oct 2018 00:15 I would think you can reach through the back and remove/install headlight bulbs without the need to remove plastics. But I can't say that for certainty. You can with the sixth gen. Are you running HID lights. They are…
  9. Is my brake pedal bent? 10 Oct 2018 02:57 I would like to be able to answer with certainty but mine has been bent in towards the bike for so long, I don't remember what the positioning actually was. But it does look to be bent inwards a bit
  10. Lower Mainland Fraser Valley Riders 8 Oct 2018 21:03 1 hour ago, Geese Hey guys, just posted looking for a VFR riding group in the area for next season. Guess I should refine my searching skills before posting. 😕 On another note, I need to replace the sprockets and chain…
  11. How to strap down bike in pickup? 7 Oct 2018 15:29 Kerist! You could have used scotch tape! Just busting them a bit on ya GG. As in the other threads elsewhere about trailering and tie downs, I seem to be the only one who uses duck tape to tape the tied straps to…
  12. Folding mirrors for a 6th Gen. 7 Oct 2018 15:16 I think there is a nylon bushing in the 6th gen that allows you to tighten the mirror arm just enough to hold it in place. You can then move the mirrors in and out without the need for tools. I too have to fold in my…

  14. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 29 Jul 2018 14:44 All the photos are nice Belfry but that last one is quite majestic. It really hits home in that one just how small our own things are in comparrison to Mother Earth. Fantastic. Looks like you really enjoy our nature.
  15. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 22 Jul 2018 04:18 I need to get one exactly the same, but with a huge tear drop running through it. Green in colour as in envy.

  17. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 16 Jul 2018 04:16 I don't have an answer to that but you have a limited number of members who are monitoring this thread so even though there may be very experienced and capable people here, you are missing out on many. I suggest you…
  18. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 14 Jul 2018 14:59 I so wished I was able to be there. Is this an annual event or bi-annual event? Depending on just when it happens, I may be recovered enough from up coming hip surgery to make it next year. That will be the goal anyway.
  19. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 11 Jul 2018 16:02 Ya guys and gals. Keep the reports and photos coming. I just get deeper and deeper into depression because I had to back out. I am sure I will meet with a couple of you for burgers and beers when you get back to the LMD…

  22. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 27 Jun 2018 13:58 10 hours ago, Belfry Ditto. And there is always the 34468Randy solution: The toolkit, spare tire, forgotten jacket, etc. in the form of a thin, wallet-sized plastic rectangle with your name and a bunch of numbers…
  23. Lower Mainland Fraser Valley Riders 5 Jun 2018 16:09 Just a bump to bring this idea to the surface if someone wants to do a pairs or small group ride. I know several from this area are gearing up to head out to Custer in a few weeks. I was looking forward to this too but…
  24. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 2 Jun 2018 19:46 Regrettably, I have to back out of this trip. I wrote off my truck and to get back into another vehicle is going to cost me more than I had thought. Spending a lot of money for this trip at this particular time is just…
  25. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 27 May 2018 04:49 So. I was wondering. What is the deal on the request for us to bring flags? Are you speaking of a large flag or a bumper staff type of flag? What are we going to be doing with them? I can bring one, even get a BC flag,…
  26. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 25 May 2018 13:47 I just noticed....all my signature stamps have dissappeared. No wonder I tend to get lost these days. good thing i am arriving there with a group. Could very well get lost again riding solo on my way back though.…

  30. how off is a stock speedo? 8 May 2018 04:40 I do believe that all motorcycle speedos are off. Given that the tire has a round profile rather than flat like a car, it is impossible to have a consistant and accurate speed reading. Your speed indicated will be one…
  31. Lower Mainland Fraser Valley Riders 27 Mar 2018 04:26 Unl;ess someone has another idea to consider, we can just use this thread as a starting gate for simple rides. Hopefully we will be getting some decent weather soon. My ride is kept insured year round and I use it when…
  32. Lower Mainland Fraser Valley Riders 25 Mar 2018 23:17 Seems the last thread for the Vancouver area riders got locked down. Probably from lack of contributions to the thread. Well we here on the Best Coast of Canada must unite. Reasonable riding weather is just around the…
