  1. Restorations - Transforming the world's most under valued Motorbikes 15 Aug 2023 01:06 I apologize I have not been active on the site for some time. I found this video on the restoration of not one but two VFRS. Once he got the first running the sound of the gear whine tugged on my heart and brought a…
  2. 2021 Summer Summit 22 Sep 2020 03:49 Any speculation on if the Summer Summit for 2021 will happen? I missed the 2018 Sum Sum and was really looking forward to the 2021 event. Then that thing happened that put a major crimp on just about everything. I’m…

  5. Time To Say Goodbye... 3 Mar 2016 18:10 Excellent choice, I also love the color. I keep looking but for the moment I'm loving the Ohlins on my 2011 enough to hang tight for now. I think my Ducati dealer has me on speed dial every time he gets a white one…

  9. Vfrd Members Tie The Knot 20 Apr 2015 20:05 OUTSTANDING!!! Congratulations to you both.
  10. Leaning Blind At Night 3 Oct 2014 18:13 Apparently that is exactly why BMW went to adaptive lighting as optional on the K1600GT. That is a downside to fairing mounted lighting systems... My Duc is possibly the worst: low shines down at the front wheel and the…
  11. The "egg On Your Face" Thread 3 Oct 2014 16:38 At least Olive was of sound mind to replace the drain bolt prior to attempting to fill said motorcycle with new oil, I on the other hand was not so smart... It makes such a beautiful puddle that glistened in the…

  18. Re-Locating To Co. Springs 19 Nov 2013 03:16 First off; congratulations on the new job. Second; I am so JEALOUS of you moving to CO. I have wanted to live in CO for some time now and it's only gotten worse since our son is at the University of Denver. To get up in…
  19. New Vfr800 Vtec Will Be Introduced At Eicma. 4 Nov 2013 20:11 Lorne Do those disappointed with the looks of the new VFR800 prefer the new MV Agusta Tourismo Veloce? Fyi, I don't. Yes as a matter of fact I do. Unfortunately I see a pattern evolving at Honda, warmed over products…

  21. Hog Tie Duration (2014) 5 Oct 2013 19:12 This year's trip worked out nearly perfect: Wednesday through Sunday. I'll probably do the same next year, make it a five day trip. The trip back to STL w/ Rush2112 was the icing on the cake....
  22. Hog Tie "quotes" 23 Sep 2013 17:10 I was just "Mowing the yard". Nothing to see here, move along...

  24. Waterproof Gloves: Alpinestars Jet Road Gore-Tex Experience? 13 Jun 2013 19:23 I ride exclusively w/ Alpinestars' gloves, SP-1s and DryStar gloves... Alpinestars tend to run small compared to other sizing guidelines, I had to go up one size to get them to fit to my liking... I think you'll be…
  25. Second Annual Hog Tie - Sep 13-15, 2013 - Event Thread 22 Feb 2013 17:51 I'm ripping up my Arkansas map trying to figure out how I string SR123, SR341 and SR263 into one continuous route… I need some more time w/ dutchinterceptor…

  27. Second Annual Hog Tie - Sep 13-15, 2013 - Event Thread 27 Dec 2012 20:42 Sign me up, last year was a blast. Good roads, food and company, it doesn't get much better than that. I intend to go down a day or two early to hit some more of the local roads...
  28. 2013 Vfr1200F 14 Nov 2012 22:21 I'll take a Dyson please... It has that no loss of suction thing going for it...
  29. Sidi Boot Feedback 31 Oct 2012 15:36 Sidi here also, I picked up their Vertigo (waterproof) boot a couple of years back. They utilize zippers and a velcro tab at the calf, makes them easy on/off. They also provide a vent toward the toe box that is…
  30. Way too close for me 22 Oct 2012 13:44 Deer or Drunks, it's pretty much a toss-up as to which one is the most dangerous for us motorcyclists... Glad you are OK!!!
  31. Spot one of our own in MotorCyclist November issue! 20 Sep 2012 21:46 Excellent, congratulations on the article!!!

  34. The Mother of All Squids - LOL 29 Aug 2012 01:35 I'm thinking someone pee'd in the gene pool some where in his family lineage...
  35. Am I a jerk for not waving at trikes? 16 Aug 2012 21:45 Heck, all I can see w/ the mirrows is my damn elbows, might as well hang a glove off of them... May I should get some mirror extenders???
  36. Mr. Steffes does the continent. 25 Jul 2012 13:57 Write home often, wait a minute does anyone write any more? Have fun and take lots of pictures!!!
  37. Cleaning deep ingrained grime - advice needed! 22 Jun 2012 20:55 A garden hose is fine as the pressure is low enough not to harm things, a pressure washer should not be used. A lite spray is all that is required... I wouldn't hose down exposed electrical components, you can alway…
  38. Replacement fairing screws/bolts 21 Jun 2012 20:19 When I was recovering from my tip over i ordered all the replacement parts from Ron Ayers. Got everything: brackets, fastners and replacement panels... http://www.ronayers..../Model/VFR800FI Get the part numbers and…
  39. V12X Drive By 7 Jun 2012 22:41 I'll admit the beak is questionable on the Multi... But the 150HP, Traction Control, Slipper Clutch, four riding modes and Electronic Ohlins' Suspension more than makes up for the beak...
  40. Stupid Tank Bolts! 1 May 2012 21:38 I was thinking a back flip would do the trick. A quick call to Travis Pastrada, oh wait he's giving up dirt bikes for NASCAR. You're pretty much hosed...
  41. Old school stickers on 5th Gen 17 Apr 2012 20:51 I like it, that is a great color on the 5th Gen!!!
  42. The Tale of My 100,000 Mile VFR800 9 Apr 2012 03:02 Congratulations on hitting the 100k mileage mark, that really is impressive! I guess I shouldn't be surprised at the average of a $1K yearly maintenance. Doing most of the required maintenance yourself would save over…
  43. Considering a 5th gen VFR 21 Mar 2012 16:51 Any of the 5th gen versions of the VFR should fit the bill. The lower the mileage the better, but a solid reputation w/ a low entry price is hard to beat no matter how many miles... I too was partial to the Yellow…
  44. TimmyTheCop - Happy Birthday. 8 Mar 2012 23:16 Enjoy it, you're not getting any younger!!!

  46. Ride before Thanksgiving 22 Nov 2010 16:58 I lived in Wildwood for a short time and the roads were great. Way to many blind corners and crests to really crank it up but pleasurable just the same... That is a great loop of some best roads close to STL... Sorry I…
  47. Crossrunner Video 9 Nov 2010 18:06 They are designing for the "large" motorcycle growth markets; Europe hence the European design teams. Why would that surprise anybody? Anyway it is more of a tweak of an existing design than a new introduction... Making…
  48. I was hit by a car this morning 30 Sep 2010 21:18 So the really question is: when does the all points bulletin go out on this guy/gal? I'm thinking a lynching is in order!!!
  49. As it turns out, yella just ain't my thang 12 Jan 2010 23:28 This topic is damn near blasphemy! How could you say such a hurtful thing, I'm almost in tears...
  50. Magnetic Tank Bag Bad For The Metallic Paint? 29 Apr 2009 22:40 I frequently wax the top of the tank where the bag attaches to add that extra bit of protection. I always remove the bag when I get home and store it in a plastic bag to ensure it stays clean, it really is critical that…
