  1. Highway 28 North Carolina surface condition 13 May 2017 18:58 3 hours ago, MaxSwell Perhaps just a sign of the lack of spending on our countries infrastructure going on everywhere. Rather disappointing imho. Aircraft carriers are pricey. And the jets they carry ain't free either
  2. Highway 28 North Carolina surface condition 13 May 2017 14:34 Ride 28 and enjoy. I was on it last week, the week before, and before.... It isn't perfect but you will have a perfectly good time. After living here for 6 years I ride ADV and DS bikes exclusively so ymmv.
  3. Ride Western NC Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday 23 Oct 2016 14:42 Absurdity reigns on the DRZ400S. Who knew dualsport rubber could grip like the sport stuff? I never use much effort when I ride but the DRZ requires less effort than anything I have run around Deals Gap and it doesn't…
  4. New donation from 2k1GoneWild 7 Aug 2016 11:35 Hi kebrider, Thank you for your donation of $50.00. We look forward to improving the forums with your donation. Thanks VFRDiscussion
  5. New shaft drive motorcycle land-speed record? 26 Jul 2016 12:17 gloryracing, 7/18/2016 at 1:32 PM I was on Highway 28 at last years Tmac and saw my VFR 1200 speedo read 87 MPH. Not sure if it is a speed record...but damn it was fun! If GPS is accurate then my NC700 top speed reading…
  6. My Favorite V4 Honda Got Me Home 23 Jun 2016 03:36 5 hours ago, CornerCarver Glad you are well Kimball. Lots of great bikes available right now. The 2016 Tuono is near the top of my list. Spendy but worth it is the hand made Motus MSTR...they make 3 per week in…
  7. My Favorite V4 Honda Got Me Home 23 Jun 2016 03:34 11 hours ago, Switchblade Glad your ok, got the news from Donna Sunday morning at BRMC . I am picking up the "51" Friday morning and will ride it Sunday at the "WORLD FAMOUS DRAGON" everybody come and join me. I have a…
  8. My Favorite V4 Honda Got Me Home 21 Jun 2016 16:59 Maybe I will rent a Pan European someday and do just that Dutchy.
  9. My Favorite V4 Honda Got Me Home 21 Jun 2016 15:44 My 06 ST1300 hit a nasty patch of gravel on the exit of a downhill left turn on the Back Of The Dragon this past Saturday, right in front of fellow VFRD member 007. Steve negotiated the debris safely and patiently…
  10. Sportbike Track Time Group discount. 21 Jun 2016 13:13 Don't get too concerned with the engine ice and WP lubrication. I don't use it for that reason and I have passed a tech inspection with just EI in the reservoir but not sure that will fly everywhere. It is only required…
  11. Tires! 21 Jun 2016 11:56 8 hours ago, Sweeper Ordered a set of S21's from Jake Wilson today. $205 for the set shipped. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I just finished off the Metzler M7RRs (2,050 miles and good to the end, fantastic tires)…
  12. 2016 TexasMac official Picture & Home Safe Thread 18 Jun 2016 21:30 No matter what thread that was a great story BR. Even if it was about cars. :goofy:
  13. 2016 TexasMac official Picture & Home Safe Thread 13 Jun 2016 22:18 40 minutes ago, Sweeper If my wife went to a wedding without me, it would be a problem. If it happened, I would have chores and no riding. If I rode, there would not be pictures. If I rode with other women, I'd be…
  14. 2016 TexasMac official Picture & Home Safe Thread 13 Jun 2016 18:13 So everyone who rode with The Girl (Donna) this year knows why she is my favorite riding buddy of all time (no matter how much she bitched about me). She had a family thing in Florida this weekend so what is a guy to do…
  15. 2017 Yamaha FZ-10 will be available in the USA later this month 9 Jun 2016 12:03 I don't hate the styling and I am a big fan of the functional items like a crossplane 4 and the R1 chassis. The stretched out riding position is great and the wet weight of 46oish is acceptable. One other thing I want…
  16. Tires! 22 May 2016 13:25 16 hours ago, fink I think im pretty much up on what you are saying. Would need to sit down and read your reports. How much of your riding is done in the wet? Is is it still the case that the compounds are different on…
  17. Tires! 21 May 2016 12:58 16 hours ago, fink Its pretty confusing. Especially when there are folk saying they regularly get. 8k plus on their 11and 13s think the highest I've heard is 10k. I was averaging about 4.5k on mine both 11and 13. You…
  18. Tires! 20 May 2016 16:32 1 hour ago, gloryracing Most 'riders' understand and get it. For example, right now I have a stack of 14 tires in the garage (4 new metzelers, 4 new b'stones and 6 takeoffs). Gonna order 4 more b'stones before the month…
  19. Tires! 19 May 2016 12:01 This Michelin Pilot Road 4 GT was on the rear of my ST1300 for exactly 8 days. One TMAC and 2038 miles later it looked like this... [image: ST1300 Rear PR4GT from 2015 TMAC.jpg] The very best wearing tire I have used on…
  20. Tires! 19 May 2016 11:26 25 minutes ago, fink Something definitely wrong with that then. Even up in the highlands where the roads are very abrasive about 5k for a rear sports touring... The "problem" exists on all my bikes. I have researched…
  21. Tires! 19 May 2016 01:19 I just replaced Donna's Pirelli AGTs last night. 2,800 miles, they were installed the middle or April . The AGTs replaced 2,300 mile Bridgestone T30 Evos that could have gone another 400 miles but we had a rally to…
  22. 2016 tmac group rides 19 May 2016 00:34 First off I was happy as a clam following you CC on 60 and 68 last year; just remember who passed you first. My squidliness pales in comparison to the esteemed BR. The boy just has no patience. We were pushing the STs…
  23. Congratulations to Corner Carver 14 May 2016 03:58 Congrats and I know some great practice roads CC.
  24. Wolf Pen Gap (Hwy 180) 9 May 2016 14:13 Like most of the roads in the area you need to keep a sharp eye on the road surface as WPG has the occasional gravel. It is in great shape this year after the mild winter. I have ridden it 3 times this year and it has…
  25. Tire Rebates 2016 ($40 Pirelli, $50 Metzeler, $40 Dunlop) 19 Apr 2016 11:15 Gas Money for TMAC!
  26. Tire Rebates 2016 ($40 Pirelli, $50 Metzeler, $40 Dunlop) 2 Apr 2016 13:14 Metzler has a brand new and highly rated new Sport Touring tire in the Roadtec 01. Would be worth trying out if you have the chance. Doesn't come in a size I can use or I would be testing a set. I am getting ready to…

  28. Anybody Run Bridgstone T30 Battlax Tires? 25 Mar 2016 14:25 The regular T-30 seems to wear the same as the GT models so no advantage there. The regular T-30 is more than enough tire for the VFR but if I weighed over 210 and I carried a large passenger consistently I would…

  31. Keb & Dave's Daily Dragon Ride Report! Lol 18 Mar 2016 11:04 Was hoping to bring one of the bikes up this weekend when looking at houses but when we got back from Dallas last night the painter showed up at the house 15 minutes later and said he needed to be in the house the next…
  32. Keb & Dave's Daily Dragon Ride Report! Lol 17 Mar 2016 19:35 I have done over 500 miles on just the Dragon in the last 3 weeks. I just finished a 9 day vacation where I went to bike week and then met Donna in Dahlonega, GA last Wed night. Did 281 twice last Thursday with Wolfpen…
  33. Keb & Dave's Daily Dragon Ride Report! Lol 17 Mar 2016 15:40 That CB is a serious weapon on these roads. Anyone want to buy mine and you can be just like Kebrider! I can't afford to buy your bike(although I would enjoy owning)...however, is there another way I possibly could be…
  34. Tire Rebates 2016 ($40 Pirelli, $50 Metzeler, $40 Dunlop) 16 Mar 2016 20:04 C'mon B'stone...where ya at? Just bought 2 sets of Metzeler Z8's. Never run them before. ??? I would have tried to talk you out of the Z8s but you don't seem as tire sensitive as I am so it may not matter. They have…
  35. Prb's 5Th Gen Restore And Rebuild Project! 16 Mar 2016 18:26 Here is the right side fairing that was on my last 5th gen when I bought it. The fairing had a sizable epoxy repair on it that looked pretty bad even though it was not a hole. I put some red reflective tape on the…
  36. Keb & Dave's Daily Dragon Ride Report! Lol 1 Mar 2016 12:39 I did 130+ miles tire testing on the dragon yesterday and I saw only one VFR and it was Switchblade's. BTW Dave the guy on the R6 that passed while I was passing ended up being a Real Estate customer of Donna. Small…

  38. 2016 Wsbk Season *spoilers* 28 Feb 2016 13:59 Nicky looked solid with both Hondas looking good, though they seem to do well at Phillip Island of late. The new Yamaha looked very good as well and Guintoli (5th) is 1 point ahead of Hayden (7th) in the standings after…
  39. Prb's 5Th Gen Restore And Rebuild Project! 19 Feb 2016 11:47 I believe i still have a 5th gen left side fairing in the attic. I will take a look later today.
  40. Vfr Can't Keep Up With V-Rod? 16 Feb 2016 21:26 Switchblade and I have done may runs through Deals Gap with a locally modified VRod. It is a loud, tall beast and very powerful and his gas mileage is awful but he keeps coming back.
  41. Prb's 2Nd Annual Vfrd Fall Rally, Boone Nc, Oct 9-13 2015 10 Nov 2015 17:41 Or was Matt present and I told him he was due? It all started when i told my good friend with his RC-51 how impressed I was that his original charging system was still working at nearly 80,000 miles. He didn't make it…
  42. Anybody Run Bridgstone T30 Battlax Tires? 6 Nov 2015 11:06 luvtoleanit kebrider When I try a new tire and it works better than previous models I let my friends know. The new T30 Evo is my favorite right now because it steers better than any tire I have used and I can drag knee…
  43. Anybody Run Bridgstone T30 Battlax Tires? 6 Nov 2015 10:58 Baileyrock HS, The T30 is a very good tire in all ways, except wear for me. But you should try a set anyway! :cool: ST1300s destroy T30 GTs but they destroy every tire.
  44. Anybody Run Bridgstone T30 Battlax Tires? 5 Nov 2015 12:57 When I try a new tire and it works better than previous models I let my friends know. The new T30 Evo is my favorite right now because it steers better than any tire I have used and I can drag knee in the wet. How long…
  45. Prb's 2Nd Annual Vfrd Fall Rally, Boone Nc, Oct 9-13 2015 13 Sep 2015 11:10 Nice BR. Got the CB all prepped last night. New chain, the stock chain is a DID that had some of the tightest links I have ever dealt with. They were bad new and got so bad that they would never straighten. I will take…
  46. Hydrolocked By Left Rear Cylinder 10 Sep 2015 11:34 CornerCarver Yes... Mini purchased a cover for it, removed the rear cowl/seat cover and carries the bike cover around under a spider bungee now. Has kept it covered for the past month at home and work while trying to…
  47. Q3 Sale 2 Sep 2015 11:34 Was looking for a 120 70 18 Q3 to slap on the ST, but no go. Still have a T30 GT on the front and a EVo 180 on the rear now. So tell me what you think. S20 EVO or T30 EVO? I would be a little concerned with more rear…
  48. Q3 Sale 1 Sep 2015 19:11 Thanks for the heads up Grifster The new Bridgestone T-30 Evo on rear and an S-20 Evo on the front is my latest favorite set on the NC. Still have a set of Q3s that will probably go on the CB though that bike has been a…
  49. Prb's 2Nd Annual Vfrd Fall Rally, Boone Nc, Oct 9-13 2015 1 Sep 2015 11:56 Some work details need to be sorted this week but it looks like The Girl and I can make it so I will try and get a room booked. Be fun to ride the ST with BR again but the CB or NC are just so much fun in that area.…
