Last 50 of 175- NorCal Road Ride July 27 Nice ride yesterday. Thank you, my friends for another worthwhile VFRD road ride. Darryl and Brian F were both last minute scratches, so once again the over the hill gang , er, senior riders carried the torch…
- NorCal Road Ride July 27 The geriatric members of this group had a little shakedown ride today out to Pt. Reyes Lighthouse. Not to mention the turkey/goat cheese/fig sandwiches at Pt. Reyes Station. All positive feedback to report, except that…
- NorCal Road Ride July 27 2 hours ago, vfrcapn Heads up on road surfaces: Ice House Road https://www.eldoradocounty.ca.gov/Land-Use/County-Projects/Road-Transportation-Projects/Ice-House-Road-Pavement-Rehabilitation Well that could easily put a…
- NorCal Road Ride July 27 Let's meet up at 8:00 AM; Peets Coffee, 1380 Holiday Lane, Ste. 3, Fairfield, CA 94534 (just off of Travis Blvd. to the west of I-80). Kickstands up at 8:30. Looking forward to the ride. [image:…
- NorCal Road Ride July 27 1 hour ago, St. Stephen I'm in. Thanks for getting the band back together Jeff! We're on a mission from God... A paved road mission, lest there be confusion. If indeed Mosquito Rd is not the asphalt paved stairway to…
- NorCal Road Ride July 27 Awesome! Welcome, PM coming to you later this afternoon or tomorrow. Jeff J.
- NorCal Road Ride July 27 No, a one day ride either Saturday or Sunday. I'd guess Saturday, depending on rider's availability.
- NorCal Road Ride July 27 Several of the VFRD regulars have been in contact by text. We have targeted the weekend of July 27/28 for a group road ride. What we haven't done is consider a route. Here is one suggestion; it more or less mirrors a…
- Bay Area Roll Call Ride #1 2024 Probably won't be a surprise to anyone that we will have to cancel the ride due to an unfavorable weather forecast. I personally am unavailable until mid-summer. Hoping to get together with misfits several times this…
- Bay Area Roll Call Ride #1 2024 At last check, the roster is as follows: IN Jeffyjeff Brian F. St. Stephen MAYBE RC1237V OUT Everybody else Hope we can get Jim to join us. Perhaps a gentle text message reminder will provide a little encouragement.
- Bay Area Roll Call Ride #1 2024 Moving the ride to Saturday, March 2 enables St. Stephen to join us, effectively increasing participation by 50%. So, let's move the ride to SATURDAY, MARCH 2. Updates forthcoming shortly before the ride. [image:…
- Bay Area Roll Call Ride #1 2024 OK, well, no interest on VFRD, but thanks to the magic of cell phone text messaging, I can confirm the following: In Jeff J. Brian F Maybe RC1237V Out, Maybe next time St. Stephen Tirso RRluv2RIDE Weather looks crappy…
- Bay Area Roll Call Ride #1 2024 Alright misfits, time be now for another group ride. Due to the time of year, and considering some riders may be tiring of Mines Road, I suggest another coast ride. (always up for alternative routes if anybody cares to…
- Bay Area Roll Call 2022 Had a great time on Saturday. It was a glorious day for me, thanks for sharing the ride. Let's plan to do this again in 2023, hopefully more than once. Great to see Brian F., St. Stephen, and RC1237V again, and good to…
- Bay Area Roll Call 2022 Yeah, still got the leather chaps. A little salad oil on the leather after our last ride and they are as good as new! Weather report says sunny on Saturday morning, clouding up after noon. I'm ready to ride. Went on a…
- Bay Area Roll Call 2022 RRluv2RIDE, 10/25/2022 at 2:24 PM I need to do my forks esp if going on Morgan Territory! Otherwise I'll be on a Tiger. Anyone ready to do a little shaking? That 5.1 epicenter was close! How does one ride during a…
- Bay Area Roll Call 2022 I'll be starting a new group text for the ride, since I cannot seem to figure out how to add a new rider to the address list on an existing group chat. Chalk it up to iPhone incompetence. I'm excited at the enthusiastic…
- Bay Area Roll Call 2022 2 hours ago, RC1237V Yes, I'm in! As long as it doesn't rain... NICE ROUTE! After last year, I think we've all been a little sensitized to just how completely a good downpour can screw up a good ride. Weeks later, I'd…
- Bay Area Roll Call 2022 For the record, there is some banter going on via text message, So far we have a few takers. 3 weeks until Nov 12. IN jeffyjeff Brian F. RRluv2RIDE RC1237V tjclyde St.Stephen OUT Crazybro TENTATIVE Tirso Edited October…
- Bay Area Roll Call 2022 Let's try for Nov 12 so Brian (and RRluv2RIDE?) can join in.
- Bay Area Roll Call 2022 Getting a little late in the year for a roll call ride, but better late than never, eh? Maybe we can get together for a group ride before daylight savings time runs out. After last year's soaker (not to mention getting…
- Bay Area Roll Call Ride 2021 Back in the day (2012) all of us had VFRs. For various reasons, most of us have moved on. Here are four inmates L- R. Brian F, Ed Nelson (VFRD handle ECN) (RIP), tjclyde, and Crazybro. [image: PA140377C.jpg]
- Bay Area Roll Call Ride 2021 We did it! and judging by the text messages on my phone, I am not the only one who takes great pleasure in the comradery of fellow riders. Bravo! and thanks for coming out all. The ride started off great, but not…
- Bay Area Roll Call Ride 2021 Text messages sent to your cell phones. Even tried to get Brian to change his mind, but he's chillin in Salt Lake City. In: jeffyjeff tjclyde St. Stephen RC1237V RC 1237's mystery friend Fog likely on the coast, dress…
- Bay Area Roll Call Ride 2021 I'm down with the alternate route. Any good places to stop for lunch?
- Bay Area Roll Call Ride 2021 One week to go and nobody has dropped out yet. That's a good sign. I'll probably test/PM everyone along about Thursday or Friday just to confirm. Looking forward to seeing everyone. Have a good week.
- Bay Area Roll Call Ride 2021 4 hours ago, St. Stephen RC1237V better bring his 7th gen or we all might be banned from VFRD for organizing a ride without any VFR's! 😎 He better bring his turkey repellant. Last time he almost got nailed by a wayward…
- Bay Area Roll Call Ride 2021 I spoke with Bayarearider today. He won't be joining us; he sold he seventh gen DCT and has been mountain bike (bicycle) riding of late. I'm bummed. jlpvfr has not responded, but to my recollection, he lives out in…
- Bay Area Roll Call Ride 2021 24 minutes ago, St. Stephen I'm in, confirmed. 😎 Great! You and Jim can speed ahead while the Road King and I grind off hard parts in the curves.
- Bay Area Roll Call Ride 2021 OK, let's try this again, this time without the cheesy Blues Brothers reference. I've texted the regulars and got a couple of bites. Would probably get more participation if we rode the Sierras, but the fire situation…
- Tire puncture opinions. Call around. There is probably a shop nearby who will plug it properly. Look for an independent moto garage. The mushroom plugs (plugged from inside the tire) are better than the twisted rope type, in my opinion. I have…
- Bay Area Roll Call ride June 22 Let's tentatively plan for a weekend mid July, say July 13 or 20. Route to be determined, but likely the Pacific Coast Hwy up to 128, as several inmates have communicated an affinity for that route. A map is on the…
- Bay Area Roll Call ride June 22 Thanks for showing up, everyone. I, for one, had a great time, and it was nice to see old friends again and to meet and ride with thepretender. 294 miles in 11 hours 29 minutes door to door. Felt weird to be the leader…
- Bay Area Roll Call ride June 22 Alright Misfits! Noel once told me "It's hard to get the band back together." but it looks like the show will go on.,,,like the Blues Brothers including the horn section. No, like a David Lee Roth reunion with Van…
- Bay Area Roll Call ride June 22 tjclyde, 6/15/2019 at 9:26 PM Sold all of the fast bikes, now riding a slow bike. I'll be bringing up rear lol. See ya on Saturday. Tj. Road King?? Cool! I expect we'll see the sparks a flyin!
- Bay Area Roll Call ride June 22 Back in the States now. My bike fired right up after 4 months on a battery tender. Took it out for a 90 mile ride today...I'm ready to go. Looking forward to seeing everyone in about a week. I'll follow up with everyone…

- Bay Area Roll Call ride June 22 thepretender, 6/2/2019 at 5:18 PM Think I'll join you though coming from Mariposa thinking of meeting up where you get on 580. As it will take 3 hours to get home from the finnish doing the whole thing would be a long…
- Bay Area Roll Call ride June 22 Awesome! I'm really looking forward to another ride with the Northern California VFR riders. Not actually back in the states yet, but will be soon. Been exploring local roads here in northern Morocco lately. Here is a…
- Bay Area Roll Call ride June 22 The "Bay Area Roll Call 2018" fell a little short of expectations; but you know that was then and this is now. I'd like to see if there is any interest in hooking up for an early summer ride.. Here is a local route that…
- 5th Gen Parts and Tools I logged nearly 80,000 miles on two 5th gen VFRs between 2010 and 2017. I had a ’98 from 2010-15, then sold it to purchase a low mileage 2000 model. Unfortunately, my son crashed it last year, bending the front wheel,…
- Bay Area roll call ride 2018 No shame here. It's kinda cool to ride a bike where performance expectations are not stellar. It's a gas to ride, and in the hands of a capable rider, would probably raise eyebrows. Those Metzler Roadtec 01's are really…
- Bay Area roll call ride 2018 RC1237V- get the new rubber yet?
- Bay Area roll call ride 2018 21 hours ago, RC1237V My tires are shot now, so I will order up some new skins! It was that kamakazi gopher on Del Puerto Canyon Road that did it! Updated Roster: IN jeffyjeff crazybro tjclyde St. Stephen Brian F.…
- Lost the Love Check out this video for a little inspiration: [video: https://www.youtube.com/embed/vksdBSVAM6g?feature=oembed] I first saw this on the Pacific Coast riders forum (IPCRC) in 2011. It was reasonably popular back then,…
- Bay Area roll call ride 2018 What a response! 6 takers in the first 22 hours...I knew there was something I liked about you guys. And George might be right about the Ducati's outnumbering the Honda's. At least a few of us still ride VFRs. IN…
- Bay Area roll call ride 2018 Alright misfits, time be now for another group ride. Out of respect for the possibility of snow or slides in the mountains, I suggest another coast ride. Weather permitting, April 28, 2018, we meet at Starbucks, 260…
- Ecn Memorial Ride - NorCal / Sierras - July 22 23 hours ago, BrianF 891 miles door-to-door. Shoutout St. Stephen for putting in 900+ miles on the RC51. Speed limits ignored, brisket eaten, no breakdowns no tickets no crashes. Ed would approve - RIP buddy. Nice..…
- Fuel tank vent I think the hose you refer to is the overflow, and connected to the little hole in the well around the tank filler (you see when you lift the cap). In operation, the tank vents through a charcoal evaporative emissions…
- Ecn Memorial Ride - NorCal / Sierras - July 22 Fyi, for all you photo guru's that use photobucket: When you link a photo from photobucket to VFRD, this is what the rest of the world sees. Only photobucket subscribers can see the "enabled 3d party images". OK, so I…
