  1. Thinking seriously about going to THE DARK SIDE 20 Jul 2021 20:18 Due to back pain, and discomfort on VFR's, I found a buyer for my 8th gen. and turned it loose. After about 6 months of being bike-less, I have the urge again. I just am not able to ride all day on a VFR (have had three…
  2. FOR SALE: 2014 interceptor/VFR 10 Jan 2021 15:00 2014 RED, Standard VFR/Interceptor for sale. 17-18K miles, never dropped, crashed with zero marks, scratches etc. No aftermarket parts on the bike. Bike is in perfect shape. Chain is good, tires good. Bike DOES have a…
  3. What other bikes do you own? 11 Sep 2020 21:26 A 2018 Trek Domane SL5 with disc brakes and an old Lemond Buenos Aires. I like both of them, one as much as the other.
  4. Best tires for the VFR??? Updated 2011 25 Aug 2020 16:55 Roadsmarts will be my next tire. Dunlop seems to be less costly than my fav. Angel GT's that I can never find discounted. They sure do wear great though.
  5. Non-motorcycle options 25 Aug 2020 16:31 I beat the snot out of my VFR Sunday, put her up and always wonder how they take it without blowing up. The Angel GT rear is holding up amazingly well too. Tires are better than they used to be.
  6. Non-motorcycle options 24 Aug 2020 16:09 TimC, 7/22/2020 at 8:53 AM While I hope to be on two wheels for years to come, I've sometimes wondered what I might do if I couldn't ride a motorcycle anymore, like if I had a problem with my balance. I can't see myself…
  7. Best tires for the VFR??? Updated 2011 24 Aug 2020 16:07 Angel GT's. They're expensive but last a long time and the edges, after yesterday, gripped superbly. Got a Cycle Gear flyer in the mail this weekend with rear Bridgestone T30's for $99 and I'll pass on them.…
  8. Less than Zero 24 Aug 2020 15:56 Glad you're OK. The Blueridge is a great place to ride or drive slow. I'd like to do it again with the spousal unit. We've done it before and find it hard to drive fast the scenery is so good. It's also a great place to…
  9. Of Elephants and Chicken Strips and matters VFR 6 Jun 2020 13:09 I used to drag pegs, then I wised up.
  10. Best Tank Knee Pads for 8th Gen... 6 Jun 2020 12:57 Tankslapper.
  11. Bike vs. car in the twisties 17 May 2020 14:24 19 hours ago, MaxSwell There are two advantages I see in a sports car over a motorcycle in the twisties. Deer collision is the obvious one, the other is sand or debris in a corner. The only sports car I've owned was a…
  12. Bike vs. car in the twisties 16 May 2020 16:41 And to think that at one time deer were rare in North America until they rebounded for various reasons. At least in The South it happened..
  13. VFR World 15 May 2020 23:05 HispanicSlammer, 4/19/2020 at 7:50 PM Ahh looks like they are having some server issues...I am no stranger to that. Gotta constantly upgrade and reinvent it or things stop working. That is the nature of software now,…
  14. Bike vs. car in the twisties 15 May 2020 22:57 Agree with BrianF. We used to have a Miata and, IMO, they are one of the most under-estimated twisty cars out there. They will never win a drag race but when you have a 2400 pound car on pretty sticky tires, low center…
  15. Oil Filter Leaking........... 15 May 2020 22:39 I use OEM filters because they're good, cheap and I don't worry about oil filters. I think Honda knows what filters to brand for their motorcycles. Just another opinion. Let us know what is causing your leak. That one…
  16. 2020 Spring Memorial Ride May 14-17 (ON HOLD!) 12 Apr 2020 17:05 Nevermind The Constitution. Amazing how quickly some people follow the herd instinct into Nazi-ism. Swain county is up for lawsuits as are many other jurisdictions. Problem is, no govt. "institution" would be like to…
  17. 2020 Yamaha R1 12 Apr 2020 16:50 squirrelbrains, 3/28/2020 at 6:54 PM nobody needs a bike that fast for street riding ! wretched excess. ☹️ Nobody needs a VFR.
  18. music suggestions.. for shop time.. 12 Apr 2020 16:47 Enya. All of it should last you a while. She is one of the most talented people on the planet. Sings in 10 different languages, is beautiful, net worth 140 milliion, so she qualifies as my goddess to spend time with.…
  19. Of Elephants and Chicken Strips and matters VFR 12 Apr 2020 16:35 signal, 4/10/2020 at 12:27 AM No joke about Deals Gap. There is a Youtube video of a dude riding solo, that collided with another dude who was solo. One of them went over the cliff, died, no trace. The other went over…
  20. Pilot Road 2 clearance 4 Apr 2020 16:05 VFR750F3, 3/22/2020 at 12:53 PM I had the PC3 on my rc51. If you want a tire to last and not handle the turns very well these are for you. I threw them out with full thread the nipples were still showing. I bought them…
  21. Pilot Road 2 clearance 4 Apr 2020 16:01 Dutchy, 3/27/2020 at 8:51 AM Her new shoes [image: IMG-20200327-WA0004.jpeg] [image: IMG-20200327-WA0013.thumb.jpeg.d23e23306fc79271ae30314a339e99d0.jpeg] Good tires just too pricey.
  22. The Official Oil Thread 4 Apr 2020 15:58 I use OEM oil filters, Honda uses them, they are easy to find, including, non Honda service and repair shops and I know what I am getting. Once again, the only serious issue I've ever heard of was from many K&N oil…
  23. The Official Oil Thread 31 Mar 2020 13:03 PaulT68, 3/30/2020 at 5:56 AM Hello fellow VFR fans,just for reference,when I bought my 95 FS the previous owner couldn't remember or be specific about which Oil he had previously used,which gave me an open book really…
  24. 2020 Spring Memorial Ride May 14-17 (ON HOLD!) 21 Mar 2020 22:28 8 hours ago, ducnut That’d be nice, as I find that whole crowd a nuisance. You're very kind about that description......
  25. Help me tell her no . . . 21 Mar 2020 22:23 MaxSwell, 3/5/2020 at 5:06 PM I'm with the majority above: loose the 6th gen and start over with A Brand New (VFR) Machine. And I especially second mello dude! We all know red is the fastest color. Listen to MaxSwell.…
  26. Help me tell her no . . . 5 Mar 2020 00:09 Get rid of the 6th gen and buy the bike. I've owned a 5th, 6th, and 8th gen. The 8th gen. has "it all together" much better than the other two gens. You won't notice the VTEC kicking in at all, it has MUCH more lower…
  27. Say it isn't so! 19 Feb 2020 00:12 There is one for sale in the Southeast. Mine. No supply shortage!
  28. Say it isn't so! 17 Feb 2020 14:24 You can buy mine. Red, standard, 17K miles, good tires, perfect condition, price to be determined.
  29. 2020 Spring Memorial Ride May 14-17 (ON HOLD!) 3 Feb 2020 14:49 8 hours ago, FromMaine OK, I've booked a room for Thursday the 14th, as noted I have another Motorcycle related event that weekend about 160 miles away. I'm really only doing this to make Sweeper forever regret offering…
  30. 2020 Spring Memorial Ride May 14-17 (ON HOLD!) 25 Jan 2020 15:15 Dutchy, 1/21/2020 at 1:54 AM " I'll need to recruit a dog sitter. She is quite the handful " If the dogsitter is indeed a handful (but good looking) do post a picture. Am sure someone will volunteer to keep her…
  31. Happy New Year! I’m back! 11 Jan 2020 15:57 Welcome back GG. Look forward to your good habit of posting pics. You should know that there is some "talk" of banning you for coming back with the incorrect color and talk of keeping it stock. Two mistakes in one post…
  32. What did you do to your VFR Today? 8 Jan 2020 19:25 RC36B, 1/4/2020 at 2:19 AM Lucky bastard! In Denmark they raised ethanol content to 10% effective this January 1st. E0 not allowed in the market 😞 Apparently, I am lucky on the EO. It sure makes a power difference in…

  35. What did you do to your VFR Today? 31 Dec 2019 14:30 Rode is after several weeks of just sitting. It ran good but it was a little cold so it was a quick ride. Machinery isn't meant to sit idle. Letting that happen bugs me. Put some fresh gas in it. Non-ethanol gas. If you…
  36. Oil Fiter Options For The Honda. 18 Dec 2019 12:30 Anyone ever heard of an oil filter causing a problem besides K&N? I just use OEM's and forget about it. I hope everyone knows not to use a K&N oil filter due to the nut on the end having weld failures and spreading oil…
  37. Quick question 28 Nov 2019 13:51 FWIW, the 5th, 6th, and now 8th gens. I have owned all had the fan come on at 221 degrees.
  38. LED headlights search 28 Nov 2019 13:46 That's an idea I would drop if you can see with your OEM set-up. The LED's on an 8th gen. are good for about two car lengths at night but the white light does alert oncoming better in daylight. Anyone used to riding a…
  39. Coolant Change 11 Nov 2019 12:28 One of the things that will never happen is a motorcycle with everything easy to access and work on. Dreaming again.......
  40. What did you do to your VFR Today? 29 Oct 2019 11:54 16 hours ago, MaxSwell I'm no knee dragger but I routinely get 8,000 - 10,000 miles out of the Pilot Road 2 tires I've used in the last 10 years. The fronts usually have enough tread to keep using but I prefer getting…
  41. What did you do to your VFR Today? 26 Oct 2019 13:41 18 hours ago, mountainslide I didn't get 14K out of the tire, that was the mileage on the bike for service, I was late for my 12K. I got a shy of 4K out of the tires which isn't a lot but I love how the handle. That's…
  42. What did you do to your VFR Today? 23 Oct 2019 20:08 Rubbed it down with Honda Cleaner/Polish and let it dry. Nobody has come along to wipe it off so I guess I'll have to do it.....
  43. What did you do to your VFR Today? 21 Oct 2019 23:18 Just got back from 4 days to and from The Great Smoky Mountains riding some of the most technical curves in the country while there. Total: 962 curvy miles the entire way from my driveway. The 8th gen. took almost all…
  44. Bike stolen, steering lock broken 16 Oct 2019 11:44 I've run through a rising flock of wild turkeys twice. It's a miracle one didn't hit me in the head. Quite a surprise when they're hidden in the shoulder grass and you surprise them and they fly right into you. I ride…
  45. What is your oil? 12 Oct 2019 12:35 18 hours ago, Baileyrock That is a fact, the ST cooks me in summer riding as no air hits me at all around lower body. I need to get one of the Viffers back out for summer riding! Damn! Someone told me you were kidnapped…
  46. Chain adjust nomenclature. 10 Oct 2019 12:29 Winter, that's just wrong right now!! I'm enjoying the beginnings of a beautiful Fall!! Going riding in the mountains soon while the leaves fall. To get more specific on chains, I find that overly tight chains cause…
  47. Chain adjust nomenclature. 9 Oct 2019 11:40 15 hours ago, Terry I agree with that; my internal logic is that if the chain is tighter, it puts more load on the bearing pins when the suspension passes through the point when the sprockets and swingarm pivot are…
  48. What did you do to your VFR Today? 6 Oct 2019 13:40 Bled the clutch and brake fluid. First time for that job for me. Don't need the Motion Pro bleeder I bought. It just gets in the way. The new fluid does make a very distinct difference. Much crisper braking and…
  49. Bike stolen, steering lock broken 3 Oct 2019 12:21 24 minutes ago, fatshoutybloke A minimum of third-party insurance is compulsory in the UK so you're covered for damage you may do to other people who then claim against you, and it's extremely rare to find a company…
  50. Bike stolen, steering lock broken 28 Sep 2019 13:31 Insurance is one of those "damned if you do and damned if you don't" propositions. I'm not lucky enough to not have it.
