Last 50 of 104- Squeezed out of lane twice in 3 minutes Ahhh. Good to see this thread dying the shameful death it deserves.
- Squeezed out of lane twice in 3 minutes 1 hour ago, Dutchy Still the height of summer, what will winter bring? :goofy: Yep, I haven't been able to ride in a couple of weeks; guess I'm feeling a little snarky. I had avoided posting on this thread too, dammit.…
- Squeezed out of lane twice in 3 minutes 21 minutes ago, fink Well wasted a few mins watching the vid you posted here. Your land and discipline is atrocious, why swap from lane to lane when you don't need to? Your cornering technique is all wrong. Your…
- Tires! 4 hours ago, rckrzy1 Those appear to be not sport touring ? I'm looking at the pirelli angel or GT I think. I found a source for the older angels for about $145 for the rear. Correct. Those are not sport touring tires.…
- Tires! 4 hours ago, rckrzy1 trying to keep up with acronyms , so RS is road smart as in dunlops ? I want that linear feel you speak of . In this case, the RS is the Michelin Power RS. Another linear tire is the Bridgestone S21.
- V4 wins Motorcycle.com's '17 Superbike Street Shootout Met up and rode with guy that just bought the brand new RSV4. That bike is sick. Electronics galore, beautiful fit and finish, and that sound. Even with the stock exhaust, that thing sounds angry. He offered to let me…
- Tires! That wasn't aimed directly at me, but since I share the opinion: The RS is a bit slower than the PP3, but it is far more linear. It gives that dial-a-lean feel. The PP3 has a more triangular profile which is great at…
- V4 wins Motorcycle.com's '17 Superbike Street Shootout The guy I bought my 675R from just bought a brand new RSV4. I'm riding with him Saturday. Should be fun.
- Tires! No doubt a good rider on a VFR with sport touring tires can certainly leave an impression. I'm not good enough to be comfortable with all the sliding. Especially the front. When I first switched from sport touring to…
- Tires! What pressures were you running? I had S21 bstones on my VFR, and loved them. I ran 34f/36R, and I'm heavier than the average guy. Can't say how they were in terms of longevity, they were wearing well when the bike was…
- V4 wins Motorcycle.com's '17 Superbike Street Shootout Not sure about the new CBR, but I wanted the old one right up until I rode it. It lacked character, and had a odd (for me) riding position that caused me to lack confidence in the bike. Before you blame the aggressive…
- Opinion Request: 2nd bike to compliment the viffer 4 hours ago, SubjectArc Wow, great feedback, was not expecting such a response. These two replies probably come closest to my ponderings. To me, the VFR is a hair shy of sublimely comfortable for me, so I'm not yet…
- Opinion Request: 2nd bike to compliment the viffer Tough question. Do you want sportier, more comfort, better adventure capabilities, etc. I wanted sportier, but if comfort had been my goal, I would have went with an FJR or a Concours. I'm not into adventure riding, so…
- Stolen VFR GatorGreg, 4/8/2017 at 9:34 PM Congrats on the new bike! I would be interested in seeing your review of the Daytona with pros and cons between the old and new bikes. Comparing the Daytona to the VFR is like comparing…
- Stolen VFR Well, the saga is almost over. I authorized my Credit Union to payoff a 2016 matte black 675R from a Private Seller. He's actually more than a private seller, I ride with him frequently, but he has decided to give up…
- Stolen VFR 1 hour ago, Duc2V4 +1 on that. Plus we need to do another Palomar ride, the last one was a blast! I'm in. Let me get a ride under me, and that sounds like a plan. Speaking of getting a ride, the insurance company…
- Stolen VFR 11 hours ago, GatorGreg Sorry about your bike - are you gonna look for another 8th gen or maybe try something different? I'm going to go a different route. I never regretted buying the VFR, I wasn't even looking at…
- Stolen VFR Thanks all. I've been so busy at work I haven't had time to ride, now once I do have time, I have to go find a ride instead of going for one.
- Stolen VFR Well, the adjuster was out Friday, the bike is a total loss. He got to $7500 in damages without really getting into the small things that were wrong. Big ticket stuff was all new plastics, new headlight, new tank, new…
- Stolen VFR 14 hours ago, Vee-Ef-Ar What's up with the fishing rod??? Who knows? I guess if you're low life scum that has the time to trash a near perfect motorcycle, you rest by casting a line.
- Stolen VFR I'm pretty sure the bike was abused. Rear tire shows signs of burnouts. It's been crashed, so who knows if the forks are still straight. The front rim is gouged from something, maybe the crash. The kickstand is broken.…
- Stolen VFR Pics of the damage. https://goo.gl/photos/TzuRXMdLXfVQV6So8 I'm repeating myself on both forums. Sorry to those that read both. The thief was in the food mart at a Chevron when the HIPO rolled in and saw a spray painted…
- Stolen VFR Well, my bike was recovered by the Highway Patrol tonight. The thief got away, but they have him on video admitting he stole the bike. It's only a matter of time before he gets himself caught for something else and they…
- Stolen VFR My white 2014 VFR was stolen this evening. I know the chances of someone here seeing it are slim, but I just wanted to get the word out. On hold with the police now. They verified it wasn't towed and are in the process…
- Need help deciding if I should switch to a VFR Nicely done!
- Roads you would like/love to ride I just rode CA33 a couple of weeks ago. Hard to keep the speed down, but that is a fun road. My favorite to date is the CA36. With 140 Miles, it just offers so much. [image: 20151016_093935.jpg]
- Tires! Just thought I'd post an update on the S21. I have 2k miles on them now; almost all of that is canyon riding. Those miles that aren't, are riding to the canyons with the exception of 2 or 3 days of commuting. These are…
- SoCal Ride To Palomar - Sunday, 9/18 Damn, just when it was looking like I was going to make it, I've been struck by the stomach bug. Have fun.
- SoCal Ride To Palomar - Sunday, 9/18 I'm an unlikely, and even if I do get to go, I'll only be able to do Palomar and lunch. I'd love to do the whole ride, as I should have my new exhaust mounted up by Saturday.
- Riding quotes 2 hours ago, scirocco Hi! Link? , please. Seems gorgeous.... Thanks Enviado desde mi SM-N910F mediante Tapatalk Not the forum, but here is the bike.…
- Riding quotes The Phantom, 8/30/2016 at 11:34 PM Larry, that looks terrific... would look even better with clear lense indicators!…
- Anybody Want To Ride In Socal? Saturday, 9/10 North Of Los Angeles I can't this weekend. Have fun and be safe.
- Picture Thread 3 hours ago, Rambler358 Let me know when you go! [image: emoji41.png] Sure thing. Details aren't set yet, and I don't have a lot of flexibility on dates because it isn't my ride, but I'll let you know either way.
- San Diego County 9/4/16 I only took video on the last road of the day, and I didn't have time to edit out all the straightaways. It is cool to see all those V4s snaking their way down Highland Valley, I enjoyed running at the back of the pack.…
- Picture Thread I posted this on the ride thread, but this thread could use a bump anyways. Two 8th gen, a 6th gen, and a handful of 5th gen VFRs enjoying a break at Mother's Kitchen atop Palomar Mountain. [image: 20160904_112147.jpg]
- San Diego County 9/4/16 Here are a couple I snapped [image: 20160904_100922.jpg] [image: 20160904_112147.jpg]
- San Diego County 9/4/16 Good ride, guys. It was nice to meet all of you. Thanks to all of those who came out on this beautiful Southern California Sunday.
- San Diego County 9/4/16 Rambler358, 8/30/2016 at 6:14 PM BMW vehicles? How many bikes are you expecting to show? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Not BMW, B&W. You know, five oh, the fuzz, CHIPS, Smokey, etc. Looks to be quite a crowd. If…
- San Diego County 9/4/16 Someone asked, so I'll post it here too, I'm not elitist, so our non vfr riding friends can come out too. If the group gets too big, we can split into smaller groups as it's easier to keep two small groups in tact. Game…
- What Bike-to-Bike Comms Do You Use? In DMC mode, isn't the mic always hot on the packtalk? Nobody wants to hear the things I say inside my helmet, nor would I want them too, lol.
- San Diego County 9/4/16 Crap! It's only Monday, and I'm already excited for this ride.
- Where Are The SoCal Rides? 3 hours ago, Rambler358 From some of the vids of be seen, you guys aren't exactly slow. So I'm not sure how much fun it'll be for you all having to wait for an old slow guy like me. I can't speak for the GMR rides, but…
- Riding quotes 3 hours ago, Duc2V4 When people are looking at my red 01 VFR, "Nice bike, is that a Ducati?" And here's my typical answer,"No but I have one of those too" I get the Ducati question about my white 8th gen too.

- San Diego County 9/4/16 44 minutes ago, ridered I guess I didn't get it. I thought maybe the OP was suggesting it would take 3 days to complete this ride. Haha. I ride a VFR not a Huffy, but just for clarity, the ride is easily done in a day.
- San Diego County 9/4/16 10 minutes ago, Rambler358 Unless something gets in the way before then, count me in as well. I'll plan to meet at the Starbucks on Ortega. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Done. List updated.
- San Diego County 9/4/16 That works for me. Who all is in?
- San Diego County 9/4/16 Great, what about a place to meet in SJC?
