  1. The Crash 17 Aug 2019 21:58 From the moment I received the call, my heart dropped thinking about you all. From the feeling of helplessness watching a fellow rider disappear over the edge, to the angst for the pain you have gone through. I was so…
  2. if you went from a owning a 6th Gen to an 8th gen which do you prefer? 15 Apr 2019 23:01 The biggest thing that really holds me back from upgrading (118,000k+ on my '04) is that side pipe hiding the SSSA.
  3. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 5 Sep 2018 00:59 4 hours ago, Sweeper I hate to toss a good souvenir. Mine is my key chain. So many good uses for a rubber . . . . . . band. If you get bored, no need to toss: stretch - launch - retrieve - repeat

  5. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 21 Jul 2018 18:59 The 2018 SumSum4 Ride icon (should) be in the ride icon gallery. For ease of use, attached here too. When placing in your signature, dbl click to edit it down to 85 x 85 pixels. [image: 2018 SS4 Ride icon.png]

  7. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 19 Jul 2018 22:15 Cogswell, 7/16/2018 at 7:58 PM Is there any recon on a ride icon for SS4? I browsed through the Gallery and could not find one. Thanks I just got home and will be converting/ posting one up this weekend.

  9. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 14 Jul 2018 23:53 A gusty ride up from Warland to Helena with Jeff, Cora-lynn, Al & Craig. Nothing but beauty weather all the way. So good to hear a chime in that everyone (so far) is making it home safe. Hope I can access Tammy's FB…
  10. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 13 Jul 2018 21:36 It was an incredible event. Just a few highlights for now, with more to come once we're home. - Huge bow in respect to Fred & Lisa (huntinggunns & VcFR) for the rescue run. - To all the superior mechanically inclined…

  24. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 24 Jun 2018 00:57 Also, reminder: Everyone who's registered should have received your name tags by now. Remember to bring these with you, as wearing them is your 'paid for meal ticket'. No ticky - No Laundy - No Eaty Those who were at…
  25. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 24 Jun 2018 00:52 I've attempted to load the day route options in .gpx file format as the GPS files. I'm not sure if I did it correctly, so editing is welcome. There are a few tricky roads that I had to adjust from the google maps/…
  26. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 21 Jun 2018 00:19 3 minutes ago, HispanicSlammer Good I tried to trace one out on mapsource, cant find some of those roads. Or I have to drill in way detailed. 500ft it would take a while, hoping you already did all that. Sent from my…

  30. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 2 Jun 2018 22:21 2 hours ago, Belfry Any idea what they charge for balancing and installation? Does the 35 percent discount apply to labour too? 🤔 Great questions? Perhaps you / or whom ever books first can ask and let us all know.…
  31. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 2 Jun 2018 16:00 14 hours ago, Cogswell Does that make the deadline June 26th? Yes, that would be 2 weeks before the Tuesday. I may suggest ordering early, also to book your install day/ time well in advance. Rapid City is approx 50 N…

  35. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 27 May 2018 15:25 10 hours ago, 34468Randy So. I was wondering. What is the deal on the request for us to bring flags? Are you speaking of a large flag or a bumper staff type of flag? What are we going to be doing with them? I can bring…
  36. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 24 May 2018 15:27 1 hour ago, Willy I know what you mean. I'm just making a point to get riding multiple long day trips as a way to tune up the body.... Cheers! Um, ya - I guess this would be a good idea. Haven't been on the bike since…
  37. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 21 May 2018 17:57 Bumping the thread - updated the first post with current details. Tick tock for fence sitters.

  40. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 28 Jan 2018 18:13 Great to see all the early interest and registrations coming in. A big part of choosing Custer & SD as the destination was the monuments in the area, giving a chance to see some incredible sites, perhaps even bucket…
  41. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 24 Jan 2018 23:14 Maybe a few brave souls should 'dorm' up with the last few family rooms. Yes, it's stepping out of your zone, but that's how great friendships start. Besides saving some $$$, most every VFRD member I've met is a good…

  43. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 23 Dec 2017 18:36 Thanks Axel, Great to see the early interest in the SS4. I guess this means I really need to do this. Now that the Christmas week is here, I'll be working on the event minutia including registration. I'm not using…
  44. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 23 Dec 2017 18:26 14 hours ago, Cogswell The Chief looks like a good alternative . . . covered bike parking, bike cleanup supplies and towel provided and for $8 they'll wash and fold a bag of laundry (or you can DIY it). Hmmm . . . The…

  46. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 19 Dec 2017 00:19 13 hours ago, 007 Thanks for the suggestions, but I was referring to riding temperatures. I will be wearing ATGATT, which will not include shorts, t-shirts, jeans, Speedo's, flip flops, etc. Are there significant…
  47. End of an Era - No More VFR? 17 Dec 2017 22:05 I would agree with ya'll. Adventure tour seems to attract the overall touring crowd. So many times, taunted be the mysterious gravel road shouting "don't you wanna know where I go?". Been considering upgrading from my…
  48. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 14 Dec 2017 16:06 12 hours ago, Willy Hope some of you folks from BC bring some whiskey with you..... Just sayin'..... :-) Whiskey? From BC? What, just cause us Canadians tend to imbibe now and again. Potentially some good rum for me but…
  49. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 13 Dec 2017 16:15 4 hours ago, 007 What sort of temperatures are to be expected in this region at that time of year? Warm to warmer. Last year, we had a little rain (on the way there and 1 stormy night) but very comfortable. (F) 80° -…
  50. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 10 Dec 2017 23:20 17 minutes ago, Cageless-in-Seattle Might be best to note that Friday is the official departure day. I was reading the July 10-12 as meaning the departure (checkout) date was Thursday. Thanks yet again Kevin. Lead post…
