All 45- Local Hillbilly Ran Me OFF THE ROAD! Damn hillbillies in vans. And soccer moms in SUVs. And Asshats in beemers... the list goes on but the bottom line is - glad you're ok and can carry on with the festivities as planned. I'll for sure be there in spirit…

- Motorcycle Training worthless Bollox - training is NOT worthless - and as others above have rightly said, it's about the willingness of the student to acquire knowledge. That said, most of us know that an MSF BRC course isn't going to set anyone up…
- Emergency Stop Drills Payoff Good advice there Miguel - and glad that you didn't get "hoodwinked". I've had more run-ins with eejits while riding my bicycle than my moto - last year I had a blue-haired granny pull a left turn in front of me, only…
- A buddy just gave me a BMW R100 Shaweet! My advice to you is to seize the momentum and plunge into it. I have a '70 R75/5 that is a total mess but is begging for a cafe treatment. My daughter has taken to calling it "her bike" and is now demanding a…
- New member and new VFR Interceptor Welcome and nice wheels y'all got there. Where in Texas are you? I lived in San Antonio a while back and woulda loved to have ridden a bike in the hill country...
- Triumphant (at least for me) Return!!! Welcome back - once bitten by the VFR it appears mere mortals are unable to resist its siren song... :fing02:
- Self Introduction Welcome and g'luck!
- Whadda mouthful! Dead last would be Haystacks the Lesser - he's yet to crack into the top 20 and looks poised to lurk in the bottom, warily waiting for the entire field to crash before he makes his move... Man, the Kwakers really suck…
- Totaled the VFR Dayum - best of luck healing up and make sure to thank your guardian angel if you haven't already.

- VFR1200 Upgrades Screw it - I'd just save the money required to upgrade and buy a Bimota DB7 Oronero Drooooolll... :rolleyes:
- A lot new tyres for season And Pirelli has a new ST tire called the Angel - s'posed to be better and grippier than the Diablo Strada... so many tires, so little money! :mad:

- Lifting feet off the pegs at RR Xings Nope x2 - these must be quaint 'murican superstitions I missed out on growing up, although I sometimes used to flip a ciggie when I smoked sometime in the last century... :rolleyes:

- I Guess I'll Have To Ask.....? I'm gonna wait until the 3rd year re-style... The pug snout and blunt tail do not float my boat all that much in pics so far. Maybe in person it will look less like it got hit with the ugly stick - but I'm not holding…
- This One's 4 U Yup :blink: you need serious help... je je je! But now I'm thinking AC/DC coz I'm Back in Black!!!

- Forget Honda! I'm Making My Own 7th Gen Hell yeah! I like the look a lot... But don't stop there - make sure to include a Toro Charger when it becomes avail for the 7th gen and THEN you'll have a seriously awesome Frankenviffer... :blink: And yeah, I'd make…
- How Not To Group Ride :dry: Now isn't THAT special? And just like TimC said - stoopid is as stoopid does. Personally I could care less what people wear or do - so long as it doesn't affect my safety (or my family's) and destroy any hard-won…
- Titanium Connecting Rods, Oh My! (update 12/01/12) Arrrgh - nice unobtanium there, Veefer - heal up fast and well, at least you'll have some cool desk tchotchkes for show and tell :rolleyes:
- V4 Engine Video Posted Domo arigato for the linky - does anyone else feel that about half of what the Engineer-san said didn't make it into subtitles? Nonetheless I'm feeling it... not about to put my emminently collectable 5th gen up for…
- Thinking Of A Vfr... VFR - hands down. The Trumpet is an underpowered medieval torture device and while the designers came close to capturing that singular cafe experience they missed the mark - it has quite a few issues which while not…

- Nuclear Dikes This is a brilliant thread! I've learned about foreign gastronomical pleasures, saw beautiful piccies of far away lands, gladdened to hear that Dutchy survived unscathed and the Red Slut rolls again, and well, the pics…
- Next Basic Question A bicycle cone wrench. Big flat surface, slots in nicely, has a long handle and doesn't chew up the soft aluminum like a regular screwdriver. I suppose you could also improvise with a biga$$ flat washer and vice grips…

- 2011 Vfr 1000cc - 1200cc V4 Engine Grimace. Groan. Sigh. Well, at least it appears to still have only two wheels... :blink: This is why I'm hanging on to my lurvly 5th gen and eventually will frankenbikenfarkle it to keep it fresh for another 20 years.…

- 8th Generation Vfr I think it should have 3 wheels and a canopy too. And a DVD player and screen and GPS and surround sound. Let's not forget the refrigerated compartment for the beer (PBR?)... and since it's gonna weigh in at 1,234.5…

- Im Gonna Kill My Son I'm with Seb on this one. It's more like "freaking parents". You need a course in anger management - kids will do as they see their parents do. Besides, it's just a freaking motorcycle - your son however is priceless.…
- Oil Fiter Options For The Honda. All you people shopping at WalMart seriously need to look into that company's policies - once you know what's really behind all those low low prices you might think twice before going into the bowels of evil again. Just…
- Is This True? So I dreamt th'other night I ran into a leather chap-wearing leprechaun riding a Mexican Chihuahua who told me that the new VFR was gonna be pneumatic - like Pamela Anderson, and it definitely is supposedly gonna be…
- Speedo Jumping Around? Mebbe one of the shop monkeys was jumping around in a Speedo and scared your bike ;) jk - definitely a speed sensor, easily fixed.
- Another 7th Gen Idea -- Vfr990 Hmm, interesting. I'd lose the underseat mufflers and go low a la Buell (sure you lose the centrestand, but Honda will include a zipwowie EZ Up shop stand with every purchase, right Honda? :unsure: ) big weight savings…
- Cold Weather. What To Cover Radiator With. CitizenOfDreams rangerscott69 what brand is the best to get. Cardboard or thermostat? I'd go with a nice hand knit rad cover - heavy wool with the VFRD logo on it <_< Or replace the thermo as suggested...
- Riding Fast Wears Out Tires Fast? dude jeremy556 goldVFR Some folks think their tires are wearing out too quickly because they are really good riders, riding 110 percent at the twisties. That is a pretty silly thing to think. There is a lot more to…
- Pirelli Diablo Strada Vs Michelin Pilot Road :goofy: for the Stradas. Great mileage - solid and reliable performance, they warm up quickly and exhibit neutral handling and hold up well when riding on the boil. Now as to the question of how anybody gets 11k miles…
