All 15- We're back - woot! Have you considered moving to AWS? Might be more expensive than your current setup but backup/recovery are pretty much solved for you. Either way thanks for getting it back up and running, it's appreciated by everyone…
- Noise When I Roll It Backwards Chain or brakes dragging slightly probably.
- Pure Gas Is The Bomb! Cogswell, you mean like this: http://www.pure-gas.org/extensions/map.html?
- Pure Gas Is The Bomb! Check out http://www.pure-gas.org/ to find a station near you. I'm lucky to have a couple close by but you pay at least a 10% premium over regular here in Ontario.
- Engine Braking L8Apex Everyone should be engine braking, I can't imagine not doing it. +1. Not sure it's ever occurred to me to not use engine braking? Who just holds the clutch in when they're slowing down?
- Buying First Vfr Sending a picture of a chain that looks like that to a prospective buyer makes the owner seem clueless (probably clueless about maintenance and definitely clueless about sales!) and would be a red flag for me.
- How the fast idle wax unit works Auspanglish BTW Kal... no wax in that unit... it is apparently some sort of layered sandwich of unusual sounding metals that undergo some sort of change in shape or properties at different temps... read about some guy…

- Mutazu Panniers These are very tempting but it appears they don't have them listed for any years before 2005. Does anyone know if the 2005 Red is the same (or "close enough") to the 2002 Red? Switchblade WELCOME and check out…
- Post A Picture Of Your Vfr Thanks! $1600 is pretty great :) I'm always jealous of the prices/selection available in the US for cars & bikes. Yes all the ones for sale around here have them so I'd say yes they were standard. Really wanted to find…
- Post A Picture Of Your Vfr Just picked up my '02 this weekend. It is immaculate! 25k km (~16k miles) and I paid $4900 CAD ($3500 USD). Just need the bloody snow to melt now! [image: ib5qsQY.jpg?1]
