  1. The Tale of My 100,000 Mile VFR800 9 Apr 2012 04:17 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.
  2. what windscreen to choose? 21 Feb 2012 04:14 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…
  3. Easy Repair Methods For Plastic MC Body Parts 23 Dec 2011 03:11 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…
  4. Sargent VS Corbin how is your butt doing after your purchase? 31 Aug 2011 04:07 I took a different route and bought a beadrider seat cover. It has improved the stock seat for me, particularly the airflow factor.
  5. 2010 VFR1200f DCT as first bike? 24 May 2011 05:10 Any size two wheeler may be difficult to control with a bum ankle. My other bike is a Can-Am Spyder, you may want to look at them.
  6. Can't get bug spray off my windshield! 24 May 2011 05:07 How about painting the screen and seeing how that turns out?
  7. Six Week Epic Trip Planned! 20 May 2011 02:54 Looks like you can make this trip a 4 corners of the USA contiguous. Looking forward to the ride report and pics. Good luck and stay safe.
  8. Does anyone do long rides with stock seat? 9 May 2011 01:28 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.
  9. Bike-specific exercises? 26 Mar 2011 23:22 Work on your core muscles, they will support your body weight and take that weight from your wrists and arms.

  12. Deer Whistles 5 Nov 2010 23:50 Motorcycle Consumer News did a test on several whistles a few years ago and came up with the same conclusions as are posted here...................they don't work.
  13. Motorcycling Retirement Threads 2 Nov 2010 12:25 Great posts and comments. Over the past 5 years, I have been trimming my stable until I was left with one bike, a Valkyrie Interstate. Then I bought a CanAm Spyder and feel comfortable enough to ride anywhere at…
  14. Why is my chain still good at almost 18K miles? 6 Oct 2010 01:26 Congrats on the chain life. Make sure that the sprockets are also in good shape as they are a part of the system.
  15. My Tour on a VFR 1200 10 Sep 2010 04:20 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…
  16. Riding with Contact Lenses 20 Jul 2010 03:11 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…
  17. Sick of ear buds 11 Jul 2010 02:50 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…
  18. Went to Crater Lake, Oregon (with Pic's) 6 Jun 2010 04:29 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…
