All 18- The Tale of My 100,000 Mile VFR800 Thanks for the update and the pics and congrats. I can't quite tell from your pics who has aged better, you or the VFR, but you both look like you have many miles left in you.
- what windscreen to choose? I can't comment on the other screens but I have the vario and find it far superior to the standard screen, but I still find some buffeting at the helmet. It does have some adjustment so you can tune it to where you want…
- Easy Repair Methods For Plastic MC Body Parts rolandjjr What is CA glue? Is that a brand? What does "wetting out your baking powder mean"? Sorry if these are dumb questions. Thanks CA is Cyanoacrylate, otherwise known as Crazy Glue. Wetting out would be applying…
- Sargent VS Corbin how is your butt doing after your purchase? I took a different route and bought a beadrider seat cover. It has improved the stock seat for me, particularly the airflow factor.

- Does anyone do long rides with stock seat? I bought a set of BeadRiders for my Spyder, but my wife didn't like hers and I transferred it to my VFR. For me, it has completely changed the stock into an all-day comfortable perch for 400 to 500 mile stretches.

- Why is my chain still good at almost 18K miles? Congrats on the chain life. Make sure that the sprockets are also in good shape as they are a part of the system.
- My Tour on a VFR 1200 A lot of long distance riders have praised the BeadRider seat pad, so I tried one on my '07 with a standard seat.The first weekend out, I put on over 900 miles and had no problems. An added benefit is that the upgraded…
- Riding with Contact Lenses After many years of glasses, hard and soft contacts< I finally opted for LASIK. Opens up a whole new world to see the alarm clock in the morning, go scuba diving, riding and driving. First surgery lasted over 15 years…
- Sick of ear buds I've been using the Sena SMH10 bluetooth for a couple of weeks paired with my blackberry and couldn't be happier. I had similar problems with ear buds and custom molded earpieces, now I wouldn't go back, but it is a…
- Went to Crater Lake, Oregon (with Pic's) I agree that you should stay off I5. I did the same trip several years ago from SoCal and took Hwy1 all the way up to Coos Bay then across to Crater Lake. The redwoods and the lost coast are a must see. Enjoy the ride…
