  1. Lost the Love 4 Oct 2017 21:40 Thanks to all that have replied. VFRD was such an inspiration for many years and then Facebook kinda just took over the internet. Found myself going long periods without logging into VFRD. I'll find some way to get back…
  2. Lost the Love 3 Oct 2017 23:49 After decades of riding (since I was 12) 4 years of being an MSF Rider Coach and even working in the Power Sports industry as a salesman for Wildcat Harley (believe it or not folks I learned to LOVE some of the HDs) a…
  3. 2002 With Charging Issues - How High Is Too High? 29 Sep 2015 16:12 Ricks Stator and RR on my 07 for 40,000 miles now. I have a solid 14.3 at idle and 14.5 on road. Digital meter mounted on my dash and I watch it like a hawk.
  4. I Hate Gremlins... Bike Sputtering And Cutting Out 18 May 2013 15:01 Voltage seems a little low. As a member that has had probably the worst electrical failure (bike caught on fire and got us the recall) I highly recommend installing a digital volt meter on the dash so you can see what's…
  5. Official 2012 Tmac picture & event thread. 24 May 2012 02:08 Another TMAC vid. I'm not Timmy, but this is from the more mellow side of the even. [video: http://youtube.com/embed/VEssuC4boko?html5=1&fs=1]
  6. Relay for a volt meter 21 May 2012 16:35 I bought the accessory fuse box attachment for the VFRness and am using one of the four blocks for the meter. Very easy.
  7. Scenic/Relaxed Tmac group riders question? Poll 17 May 2012 01:42 BailyRock, I'll be two up with the Mrs. and more than willing to lead or sweep a group in the Scenic pace. My route will be LONGER vs. shorter. I'm wanting to run Blood Mountain, Richard Russel, Wolfpen Gap loop with…
  8. Phase 3 of the Trackenviffer project.... Paint Completed 29 Apr 2012 21:46 She's a bute!
  9. RIP Ponrod 22 Apr 2012 18:16 Keith was a special guy, no doubt. He will be missed. Keeping his family in thoughts and prayers. God Speed Rider.
  10. Would you buy another 6th Gen VFR? 17 Apr 2012 01:49 Shoot yes I'd buy another one. But it would be IN ADDITION to, not to replace the RWB. I'd love to have another one in red.
  11. Video: Some Love for VFR 17 Apr 2012 01:41 Good job! My wife perked right up with the song and video.
  12. She did it! Wife's new ride 17 Apr 2012 01:14 There's a part of me that thinks they should all be RED!
  13. Favorite iPhone Apps 9 Apr 2012 17:57 RadarScope. A MUST have for dodging those "scattered" thunderstorms. Also, I have TomTom, and of course Pandora. Iphone4 + ScalaRider G4 and 12volt power to the iPhone runs all the apps through bluetooth. Talk on the…
  14. 2012 TexasMac- Looking at a venue change. 2 Feb 2012 17:44 The Microtel sounds better to me. I'm not going to publicly bash the Franklin, but I stayed there on a personal trip in the fall and well... that will be my last stay. It wasn't a 'people' problem....
  15. Guess it's the Stator..... Again? 6 May 2011 15:09 Dealership is saying they THINK it's the RR and that the Ricks RR is a wire/pin short of the factory part. Electrical experts I am looking for feedback.... They are going to put a factory RR on and see how that goes.…
  16. Guess it's the Stator..... Again? 1 May 2011 21:27 Just got finished installing the VFRness with the fuse box, digital volt meter, Ricks RR and the Blue Connector jumper. Battery replaced with a new one too. Stator replaced in Oct has maybe 1500 miles on it. When the…

  18. Motorcycle Training worthless 23 Apr 2010 12:34 Training is not worthless, it's PRICELESS! I still go out in the spring an practice those slow speed drills and emergency stopping. You may think the slow speed stuff doesn't translate to the street but you would be…
  19. But is it fun? 18 Apr 2010 22:26 Finally someone who has been on the bike weighs in... LOL The reviews I've seen say it handles like a 5th gen which is supposed to be more "sporty" than the 6th gens. Couple that with 140+rwhp and I giggle just thinking…
  20. Emergency Stop Drills Payoff 14 Apr 2010 15:27 I almost got ass ended yesterday while attempting to turn left... Turn signal on.... brake lights working.... slowing.... big white suburan with a middle aged woman on a cell phone running me down.. I can't turn due to…

  22. VTEC-SC... 3 Mar 2010 03:20 WOW! Time to start saving $$$$$
  23. Holy Crap! 19 Jan 2010 15:36 I guess I fall in line with Skutter on this topic completely. Also having ridden a Connie, I drool at the idea of the roll on power this thing will have. It's a nice looking machine (I can say that because the toaster…
  24. Motor Cyclist 7th Gen Write Up 21 Oct 2009 20:05 Got the Motor Cyclist today and it's got a write up on the 7th Gen. Pretty much all old news to us here on VFRD but, they do confirm a later ST1300 replacement as well as more talk of displacement on demand cylinder…

  26. I Guess I'll Have To Ask.....? 14 Oct 2009 02:56 I think Honda should just donate one to Slammer..... I mean, 14000 members.... millions of hits..... What better way to get everyone to "buy in" than to have him promote it? Just a thought if there are any Honda LURKERS…

  28. So, I Was Replacing My Thermostat... 14 Oct 2009 02:48 Sixth Gen met the 2012 Kyoto treaty specs in 02. Like so many have said already, your legal! The Greenest bike in the world for years!
  29. 2007 Vfr Fire Sale 12 Oct 2009 22:29 Wow... I'll be saving that for when the tax man call-ith stating my bike is worth like 8 grand. I'll simply show this add and my odometer with 35,000 miles on it and tell him to recalculate. Thanks Honda for totally…
  30. Buying A Used 6th Gen 7 Oct 2009 23:20 My 02 had 66k on it when I had a problem with it.... LOL. (Inside joke man... for those who have been around a while) Kevin

  32. Blowing Bulbs And Melting Connectors 29 Sep 2009 06:02 I have the same symptoms but my voltage meter is nice and steady up to 9k right around 14v. I'm testing off the battery terminals. Is that correct? I bet I'm on like my 5th set of head lights in 35k. Silver Stars have a…
  33. Transformed Wow ! 23 Sep 2009 06:35 [image: View Post]Pete McCrary, on Sep 23 2009, 04:26 AM, said: BillyJack: Traxxion set my Penske up with a 1400# spring and even with zero preload I couldn't get the rider sag to be correct (I weigh 265#). Plus I had…
  34. Transformed Wow ! 23 Sep 2009 04:06 Ever since our brief talk about suspension at the TMAC, I've been thinking more and more about upgrading. And with 35k+ on the bike this winter it's going to need some attention anyway. There is a guy on one of my local…
  35. Looking At This 07 Anniversary Edition 16 Sep 2009 21:02 That's less than I owe on my 07...... LOL That's a fantastic deal. Kevin
  36. New Vfr Engine 10 Sep 2009 00:44 Got to remember how the noise standards are conducted. Something like 4000rpms in 2nd gear. Tis the whole reason for the VTEC system. Quiet in that range. Same reason many of the RR bikes have crazy FI maps down low.…
  37. The High Mileage Thread... What Do You Have On Your Vfr? 12 Aug 2009 22:58 Todays's pic. Despite the numbers, this bike's not evil. :cool: 66,666! Rolled right past it after the pic. :blush: [image: Posted Image] 66,666.JPG That is when the Devil tried to get Bailyrock! One of the funniest…

  40. Going, Going..... Gone 26 May 2009 22:48 No shame in trading one great bike for another. I could really see enjoying a GS. No need to leave the site... shoot look at DBS05. :laugh: He's a Beemer now and corrupting us all with his sexy blue beast. Hope you'll…
  41. To Buy Back The Salvage Or Not? 20 May 2009 04:20 I'd be interested in the headers.... ;) And maybe some other parts if you part it out. But, didn't you say you still have a set of red plastics? You could prolly buy it back and rebuild it pretty cheap. Kevin PS or send…
  42. Cheap Pilot Powers? 20 May 2009 03:54 The funniest thing about this whole post.... Derby Cycles is run by a member of another board I am a member of. www.kentucky-sportbikes.com Small world. Kevin
  43. Cheap Pilot Powers? 20 May 2009 03:48 OK. Just ordered a Road2 rear and a Power front. Under $300 delivered with tax. Feel like I'm getting a pretty good deal. I just hope I like the Road2 rear. But, every rider in my group on Saturday had this combo so it…
  44. Cheap Pilot Powers? 20 May 2009 03:36 [image: View Post]jeremy556, on May 20 2009, 03:04 AM, said: First number is tread width, second number is % of width is the height. Example in car tires: 265/75/16 265mm width sidewall is 75% of width so sidewall is…
  45. Cheap Pilot Powers? 20 May 2009 02:42 OK... so the front is a 120 something. Is the second number the angle of attack or something? So, what I'm getting at is do I need the 120/60... 120/65.... or 120/70. And if I can use all three what is the difference?…
  46. Cheap Pilot Powers? 19 May 2009 23:26 So, I burned up my tires at TMAC and I have just a few threads showing through on the rear. I need new rubber and it must a Pilot. Where do you guys get cheap tires? Kevin
  47. Got My 07 Vfr Painted What You Think? 14 May 2009 00:10 Nice job!
  48. Michelin Pilot Power Wear 12 May 2009 03:13 Many here love the Pilot Road as well. I have not seen "alot" of love for the z6. Personally, I go through about three sets a year and I'm not inclined to buy anything other than Power 2CTs. Rubber is cheaper than…
  49. Newbie 19 Mar 2009 21:55 Welcome to the fold! I have the Microns and LOVE the sound. They have a very nice low note to them and just enough volume. The one drawback to the Microns is they will not work with the factory hard bags.. which I have…
  50. Sixth Gen Brakes 12 Mar 2009 01:53 Looking for the part number and/or the best place to order front and rear pads for my 07. Kevin
