  1. Buying advice - 8th gen 17 Oct 2017 18:31 Rectaltronics, 10/11/2017 at 5:00 PM Wow, that Travel Pack looks like a helluva deal! Where did you get that idea/info? It's about $2400 worth of stuff (retail) for about US$1600 plus freight at today's exchange rate.…
  2. Buying advice - 8th gen 11 Oct 2017 01:12 The new VFR performed wonderfully on the Tail of the Dragon and the Cherohala skyway. I also rode it 14 hours from the Tail to Brooklyn NY to beat the storm. I truly love the bike and you can't beat the price for a…
  3. Buying advice - 8th gen 6 Oct 2017 10:35 I just bought the Basic 8th Gen. from Glen Burnie Motorsports in MD. They have them advertised on Cycle Trader now for $6K. Might give you some bargaining power for your local dealer. It's about to be a 4 year old bike!…
  4. Picture Thread 25 Aug 2017 15:25 Just now, DriverDave Worst tires I ever had! Never again. What was your experience? Curious...
  5. Picture Thread 25 Aug 2017 14:52 VifferJ, 7/11/2017 at 1:24 AM Just getting some new rubber, went with the PR4's. [image: IMG_5296_zpsqhwr951t.jpg] [image: IMG_5295_zpsrqqz416d.jpg] Best tires I ever had! Good choice!
  6. Picture Thread 25 Aug 2017 14:49 Picked up a 2014 on August 18, 2017. Here's the new one with the old one. Love it so far! [image: IMG_9915.thumb.jpg.b235fab1cc2d07c0bcf4c6684bcacabd.jpg]
  7. 48 State 2002 VFR800 Tour with Guitar almost done! 11 Aug 2017 15:33 Here's a link to some "Helmet Reports" from the road. I will edit into real episode-like videos when I am back in NYC! Popp Over America From the Road! [image: tailrectangle.jpg]
  8. Popp Over America - Pilot Episode 22 Jan 2017 23:46 Thanks 3Dcycle! I am mapping this week and I will have more info soon. Joe Popp
  9. Popp Over America - Pilot Episode 12 Jan 2017 21:43 MBrane, 1/11/2017 at 3:28 PM Meant to comment on this earlier, but got distracted as usual. Great job Joe! Looking forward to the next episode. Thanks Mbrane! Yes more to come for sure. I start May 15th!
  10. Popp Over America - Pilot Episode 12 Jan 2017 21:41 gswanson, 1/10/2017 at 0:07 PM Enjoyed the first episode. I hope there will be more to follow. Thanks Gswanson! There will be more episodes. I leave May 15th for the big tour!
  11. Popp Over America - Pilot Episode 12 Jan 2017 21:41 Cogswell, 1/9/2017 at 10:46 PM Looks like quite an adventure - hitting all lower 48 in the CONUS. If you have now left the crew behind, will you be in any video from now on or just narrating what you film? Do you plan…
  12. Popp Over America - Pilot Episode 10 Jan 2017 01:41 I am not sure if this is the right place to post but it is a ride report in the form of a video. I'm touring as a singer-songwriter on a 2002 VFR800 with my Gibson J-200 bolted on the side. I've been working on this for…
  13. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 14 Jul 2015 15:26 Such and awesome project! Inspiring!
  14. New To Gen5 In Nyc 25 May 2015 14:50 Hey Justin and Welcome fellow New Yorker! A bit of a drive but check out Rat Cycles in Lindenhurst. Roger is a straight up good dude! http://www.ratcycles.com/
  15. Check Out This Bike 16 May 2015 13:10 RIP BB. One of the greats. I never met him but a friend of mine used to book him and said he was the nicest man he ever met.
  16. Helmet Mount For Sony Action Cam? 14 May 2015 13:12 I love your install work but worried about your safety. I was going to do a helmet mount for my TV Pilot but I just don't feel a helmet mounted camera is safe enough. As Skids said in #3 of his response if you do fall,…
  17. Nyack, New York, Looking Out Along Water To Tappan Zee Bridge 4 May 2015 00:26 I ride around up there a lot! Nice shot!
  18. A Short Trip Up The Hudson. 29 Apr 2015 15:55 Tiki: Yes, my blood pressure goes down immediately when I get on the Palisades.. My blood pressure went up when I was driving Palisades a month ago. The pavement is horrible! Beautiful ride though. It didn't help that I…
  19. A Short Trip Up The Hudson. 28 Apr 2015 14:19 There will be deer! And the occasional speed cop. Especially if you continue further N on the Taconic Parkway, all the way to I-90. joepopp, et. al.: I hope you have been to Motorcyclepedia in Newburgh, NY. Terrific…
  20. A Short Trip Up The Hudson. 28 Apr 2015 13:00 Good stuff Joe. Not only is it tough to pass up DD donuts, you have to hold your ground and insist that you want only one donut. Value and brainwashing makes them think you are an idiot for only taking one when they…
  21. A New Door Opens, A Vf500Fii 23 Apr 2015 12:07 One of my dream bikes when I was a kid! Nice ride.
  22. It Hurts... 23 Apr 2015 12:00 What Rush2112 and Dutchy said. Glad you are ok!
  23. Vfrd Members Tie The Knot 20 Apr 2015 16:21 Congrats!
  24. A Short Trip Up The Hudson. 20 Apr 2015 13:15 Headed up to Newburgh from NYC on a perfect day! Post and pics here: http://www.joepopp.n...-head-clearing/
  25. Hey From North Carolina Mountians! 28 Mar 2015 02:13 Welcome! My sister lives in Boone. Really nice place!
  26. Good News Casey Stoner Fans! 28 Mar 2015 02:11 Colin Edwards For President!!! He is a nice dude! Dang near won Assen in 2006... Casey always seemed so uptight. But man he could ride that Duc! This season could be pretty interesting...
  27. Anti-Ride Report! No Clutch! 19 Mar 2015 00:47 As Huntinggunns suspected, the clutch plates were stuck together from lack of use. The mechanic sent me a video and the some of the plates couldn't even be pried apart by hand! I'm glad I didn't spend too much time…
  28. Anti-Ride Report! No Clutch! 18 Mar 2015 16:59 did you look in the clutch reservoir? chances are the fluids are low/jellied.... Yup there was some jelly looking stuff in there! The guy had minimal tools and he needed to be somewhere so I couldn't dig into it. The…
  29. Anti-Ride Report! No Clutch! 18 Mar 2015 14:56 If it has been sitting for a while the clutch plates will sometimes stick together, making the bike stall when putting it into gear with the clutch pulled in. Easy fix there. No teardown at all. I thought about that as…
  30. Anti-Ride Report! No Clutch! 18 Mar 2015 13:48 Was this the first time you saw the bike in person? Did you get to test ride it? I hope the current owner is paying for the repair. No, I saw the bike in person but it was blocked in the garage by a bunch of junk and…
  31. Italian Red And Winning Red - How Close? 18 Mar 2015 13:44 Yeah, I'd call that color close enough. I wouldn't be able to tell the difference if you hadn't said something. If for some reason the difference does end up bothering you, I don't recommend painting it. I would use…
  32. Italian Red And Winning Red - How Close? 18 Mar 2015 12:27 I received the Top case in Winning Red from David Silver (excellent customer service by the way). Here is a comparison in the two colors. The top case in the top of the picture is Winning Red and the pannier below it is…
  33. Anti-Ride Report! No Clutch! 17 Mar 2015 16:42 Thanks Duc2V4! Bike is at the shop and I should collect her on Saturday if all goes as planned.
  34. Anti-Ride Report! No Clutch! 17 Mar 2015 15:46 This was going to be my first ride report... The clutch needs to be properly bled or the slave piston is stuck judging from my research here. http://www.joepopp.n...ng-up-the-bike/
  35. A Farewel 16 Mar 2015 12:11 You had a great time with the bike and new adventures await. Great post!
  36. Florida Road Porn 16 Mar 2015 12:10 Thanks for the video. I did a lot of miles in Florida and miss the warm weather! Was this a GoPro?
  37. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 16 Mar 2015 12:07 Love this project! Thanks for posting!
  38. Italian Red And Winning Red - How Close? 13 Mar 2015 16:19 For what it's worth, in my Gallery, there are pictures of Winning red hard bags on my Italian red /04. Thanks Jimmer! If you didn't tell me I probably would not have noticed the difference. I searched for a while…
  39. Italian Red And Winning Red - How Close? 13 Mar 2015 15:22 Try it. If it isn't a close enough match, repaint it with a $4 can of Krylon satin black. I sprayed mine a few years ago and it is holding up very well. The satin black is easier to achieve an even finish with than a…
  40. Mail Order Rvf 800 – Some Assembly Required… 13 Mar 2015 15:06 FOLLOWING! Love the pics. Keep us updated!
  41. Italian Red And Winning Red - How Close? 13 Mar 2015 13:07 I am looking for a top box and David Silver has one in Winning Red (2005 R258 paint code) I am wondering how close it is to the Italian Red (2002 R157 paint code). If it's not far off I might need to just get the top…
  42. My Woman Is Really Cool! 12 Mar 2015 02:51 That's a keeper right there!
  43. Scary First Ride! 12 Mar 2015 02:50 Welcome! I'm new here too and picking up my 2002 this weekend. Going to use it in a TV pilot I'm developing, Looks like you got a clean ride!
  44. Post A Picture Of Your Vfr 10 Mar 2015 17:10 Pick her up this weekend. Weather permitting... [image: VFR800.01.JPG]
  45. New Vfr ( Well, New To Me Anyhow ) 9 Mar 2015 01:46 I really love the RWB. I was looking for one but just could get the last few bucks I needed. Very sweet ride. Spring is coming!
  46. Finally A Vfr800! And A Tv Pilot 3 Mar 2015 13:38 What about a Scottoiler to keep your chain lubed and your mind on more important things? I highly recommend it... I was under the impression that modern O-Ring chains do not need oil but just a conditioner/lube to keep…
  47. My Turn For The Stoopid Wires 3 Mar 2015 02:30 Hilbily, Thanks for posting this! I'm new here and getting my feet wet with all of the "to do" stuff for my VFR. I'm currently reading all of the pinned topics in the electrical section.
  48. Finally A Vfr800! And A Tv Pilot 2 Mar 2015 13:07 Welcome aboard! Good luck with the production and getting one off the network's to pick it up. Nice looking bike. I'm looking forward to seeing this happen. Thanks Wagzhp! I have a great crew around me. It's on me now!…
  49. Finally A Vfr800! And A Tv Pilot 26 Feb 2015 01:10 Nice! And welcome aboard! Good luck with your pilot. Thanks Duc2V4! Love the red - that looks fantastic, nice find! I hear good things about the Sargent seat as well, if you're looking for comfort mods. I installed…
  50. Finally A Vfr800! And A Tv Pilot 25 Feb 2015 16:42 Man, Thanks for the tips and welcomes guys! Married man: Very good advice. I will do these electrical updates. The bike already has Helibars installed which is why I paid a little more than I should have. I am still…
