All 24- Age check in What a wonderful life!! Thanks for all the pix and memories! Are you still the wild dude in the pix??!!
- Age check in Bought my 2nd VFR this summer, a 2015 Deluxe. 1st VFR was a 99, loved it enough to come back and buy one of these classics again. I'm 68, started on a Cushman Hilander in 1967. So this makes 55 years now, I'm still…
- Quick Poll: Are you using Chain Lube or Chain Paste? FJ12, There's a big RV park on the west side, bound to be others. (Just not something on my radar) Eastern NM is high grasslands, roads are purty straight. The 'quadrant' west of I-25, north of I-40 is loaded with great…
- Quick Poll: Are you using Chain Lube or Chain Paste? FJ12Ryder, I lived up there from '89 to '92, worked down in KC, in MO, then KS. That was during my "Harley phase.
- Quick Poll: Are you using Chain Lube or Chain Paste? FJ12Ryder, 12/26/2021 at 5:17 PM I dunno, looks like a good attractant for sand and dirt to collect on, and work their abrasive magic. 🙂 Especially down here in the SouthWest, aka the SandBox. (Can't imagine Platte…
- Return of the Michelin Man RC, I really enjoyed your story, for content and writing style! Do you write professionally? That stack of gummies brought back memories from working at m/c shops!
- Quick Poll: Are you using Chain Lube or Chain Paste? Maxima Chain Wax, sparingly. Dust is the enemy down here in the SouthWest. I apply the chain wax after a ride and let it dry. Very little fling, runs clean, attracts very little dust.
- New member (sort of) from Ontario Canada StrayCat, you are a sick individual! 😁 Isn't there a local MBD* chapter up there? Just teasin'..... actually I'm glad for you. Being retired and doing exactly what you want! Bully for you!! Welcome (back) to the group!…

- barn find - zero miles VFR750R !! Does anyone on here remember the urban legend story about being able to buy a WWII Army surplus H-D WLA? "Oh yeah, a warehouse up in Nebraska just full of'em. Now you'll hafta scrape all the cosmolene off, but hey, for…
- Need help setting clock AH HA!! That makes sense. I will report back with my findings. Thank you for bearing with me, Grum!
- Need help setting clock Well Grum, it's not working. Pressing A & B takes me to the clock, the correct time is there, with hour number flashing. I've tried pressing B to minutes flashing, then turning ignition off. Ignition back on, clock…
- Need help setting clock Thanks so much, Grum! I was taking the instructions too literally. I'll practice with it, cuz that's the only way I learn anything!
- Need help setting clock Hey guys! I need just a little help on setting the clock on my '15 VFR. I follow the instructions in the manual, but there's something I'm missing. I press and hold A & B buttons, that takes me to clock setting, I use A…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? I just got the Viking saddlebags and fitted them to the VFR. These are the Mini Expandable Black Street/Sportbike bags. Two wide velcro straps to lay across the pillion pad and straps to anchor them. Photo is from a…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? RRluv2RIDE, there are lots of things about NM that will remind you that you're in a desert. Having grown up on a farm in Kansas, the first time I visited NM, I thought, Huh, all these people can grow is rocks!…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? Perfect Fall weather here in NM, went for a "get out in the middle of nowhere" ride this afternoon. This is what 'nowhere" looks like down here. Hwy 117 south of Grants, NM. Next to nothing for traffic, fun sweeping…
- Seat options? I don't seem to require much from a seat. Maybe it's from riding a Brooks Pro all these years on bicycles? It's not so much the composition of the seat, but the shape of the seat that I've had changed on several bikes…
- Honda announce VFR “replacement” This in reply to Cogswell on pg 1, where he began with: Quote Sigh . . . sign of the times. Is this segment now "Adventure Touring"? Apparently they all have to look like that. I agree. I've been a bicyclist also since…
- Honda announce VFR “replacement” jimbob, 9/10/2021 at 12:07 PM To me, it seems, we just continually get bigger and heavier bikes that dont really add up to bigger fun. I am more encouraged by the news of bikes like the Aprillia 660's, the new Triumph…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? Well then, Sunday morning I made a short run up to Madrid, NM to practice on a short set of twisties just north of town. It's not so much learning how the bike handles, as remembering how it feels just like the '99…
- Brand new 2015 Congrats Slomo on your brand new beauty! After losing your 2014 like that, you deserve this one! Ride the wheels off it!
- What did you do to your VFR Today? Took the VFR out this afternoon just to listen to the music!
