All 23- Do I need to see a DR? Well, I made it back in one soggy piece and am now the proud owner of this very scruffy NX650. Having never owned an upright bike like this the first few corners and roundabouts were a bit alarming as I had to relearn…
- Do I need to see a DR? Quick update on this (because I'm still waiting on my fairing and fuel tank to come back from the paint shop so I've got no VFR adventures/misadventures to amuse me). After too much time looking at stuff on the internet…
- Do I need to see a DR? ducnut, 5/6/2021 at 1:11 PM You could go ride a bunch of different stuff with Nathan. https://www.dorothysspeedshop.com That definitely looks worth checking out - my boys live down in North Devon so I've even got a…
- A badge of honor? 2 hours ago, Dutchy Some make a hell of a bam and mess upon impact.... [image: post-5787-0-91575500-1539173452.jpg] There's nothing quite like getting smacked in the head by a large bug at speed to really wake you up 😂
- Do I need to see a DR? The above questions about realistic opportunities to go off road locally are totally fair, this is definitely not the best place to be for it. There is a local group that meets (or at least met) up to go on rides and…
- Do I need to see a DR? You know that thing when you're spending a lot of time on ebay/Autotrader/Craigslist looking at bikes you probably shouldn't buy, but really want to buy? Thought I'd ask for a quick reality check from folks who've…
- Fewer used VFR's for sale? As has been mentioned above, sales of bikes of all sorts are significantly higher this year as people look for stuff to do outside, and people who's income wasn't negatively affected by Covid haven't been able to go on…
- PROJECT VFR.....20 Year refresh. Lovely job making it look it's best! I think your next project should be to ride up to Oxfordshire and help make my gen 3 look half as smart! 😅
- A Complete Disaster Oh man, that's a project! Great to hear that it's already making positive headway - Honda do seem to have made a bike which, at it's core, is almost indestructible by human hands! See a lot of this kind of thing on…
- Random Photos Thread 46 minutes ago, Cogswell Low tech is more fun! What camera is that? It's a 4x5 field camera, actually the newest camera I own! It's built by a company in the UK called Chroma cameras, and is mostly made out of carbon…
- Random Photos Thread While the Veef is all sad naked, I got to take out the happy naked chugger today. Big bike, need a big camera to strap on to it 😂 Both of those things probably say a lot about my fondness for low tech
- Antisocial Riding Cogswell, 4/16/2021 at 4:29 AM At any rate a couple of quotes from the article "We need to think differently if we are going to put a stop to the problem once and for all . . . " and "Northumbria’s police and crime…
- Yet Another (BUDGET) Street Fighter Build Really enjoyed reading through this thread, what you've done and are doing is awesome. When I trashed the plastics on my gen 3 last year I gave some thought to going streetfighter as its so hard to get replacement parts…
- Spark plug query Some great advice and information here, thanks folks. I think at this point I'm going to stick the original iridiums back in. They look pretty and good haven't had many miles on them - I've done fewer than 3000 since…
- Spark plug query 4 hours ago, Dutchy Oily doesnt mean the plugs are bad. But since you already bought new ones, you might as well fit them Check the partnumber on the plugs. My bet is the left one is an irridium one... My guess based on…
- Spark plug query Hey folks, beginner questions here but we all have to start somewhere, right? Changed my rear spark plugs today, and they were oily, and the electrode was very thin. Also some oil visible around where they screw in. The…
- Antisocial Riding I think it's very hard to make the argument that speed, in isolation, kills, especially on the motorway /freeway etc. Speed plus will get you though. Be it speed plus inexperience, unfamiliarity with the road, or…
- Antisocial Riding I've never heard of that before, sounds like entrapment. Also, the cop can't break the speed limit either without breaking the law. Given the general casual attitude towards speed limits and silencer legality in the UK,…
- Hello I am in awe of anyone who can get away with a bike in bits in the living room. I get dirty looks for taking up driveway space. Mind you, your bike looks more like a piece of modern art than mine does!
- Rescuing a '91 VFR750F What an awesome adventure this has been to read about. The bike looks brilliant and I'm super impressed with everything you've done to it. As my '93 is sitting naked and tankless at the moment this is really inspiring…
- Fuel tank breather pipes, or the absence thereof That's really useful, thank you - more detail on some stuff than the Haynes, although still nothing on the breather tubes for the fuel tank. I guess if it ran OK before it should be OK afterwards. I'll share some pics…
- Fuel tank breather pipes, or the absence thereof Good advice, thank you - I have taken many pictures on my phone, hopefully they all make sense when I come back to it 👍 I have the Haynes manual, and it doesn't seem to offer any useful info on these pipes, other than…
- Fuel tank breather pipes, or the absence thereof Hey folks, been a little VFR-less since a poor choice and am unfortunate conversation with the ground last year left my gen 3 '93 veef looking much the worst for wear. Getting hold of replacement plastic has been as…
