Last 50 of 812- The Crash Hi Lee! This is Steve's wife, Christina. I just want to tell you how much I enjoyed reading your account of this day. I don't think you should waste any time lamenting how you inconvenienced anyone. I can only speak for…

- 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 Oh my gosh...finally got all my motels booked and return trip mapped out. Feeling anxious about this big trip with my kid. When it's just me or my wife and I, I still get pre-trip anxiety, but this is different. I need…

- 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 007 No, but I did sign up for the season pass and the day I scheduled my flight out is the one day we run VIR Full Course. It's proved difficult coordinating a bike there with my work schedule. I'd pay a reasonably…

- 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 I'm having mixed feelings...what started out as my yearly Moto getaway could be turning into something else entirely. I may have my sixteen year old daughter as pillion. That means I would have to bring the "big dirt…

- 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 Booked at the Chief Motel...no more rooms at the Rocket except for a family suite. Tentative for me, but really want to make this happen if you guys can tolerate a stinky Yammie triple...Or if I ride out I might take…
- 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 grizfan, 1/4/2018 at 2:59 PM Booked! I've been a member since 05' but this will be my 1st VFRD ride. I met some great VFRD folks as their ride took them thru Portland last year. Looking forward to it! Think we maybe met…

- Oil Fiter Options For The Honda. Retired my old 2004 VFR in 2011 (crash), but just picked up a new to me 2007 and was pleased to see I still had a Mobil1 M1-108 and a Bosch 3300 in my oil change box!
- Throttle tamer installation for VFR1200F It depends on how the heated grips are installed, and I am no expert here as my heated grips are aftermarket Oxfords. If you have an air compressor, what I do is put on a tapered nozzle and after removing bar ends, I…

- Change A Rear Tire Without Center Stand To all that have responded...thanks. I have a CB1000R not a CBR, so it's a SS swingarm on the same side as the side stand. In looking at it last night, no way to get the jack anywhere near the lower shock pivot...my…
