  2. Best tires for the VFR??? Updated 2011 1 Nov 2020 23:51 CornerCarver, 10/30/2020 at 8:56 PM Conti Road Attack 3....grip like a sport tire, wear like a touring tire. If you have a 5.5” rear try a 170 and be amazed at the feeling, it is as though your VFR lost 100 lbs in…

  5. Multiple Bike Disorder (MBD) 5 Nov 2018 11:48 I just bought a Street Triple R. Someone needs to buy one of my motorcycles! Or I'll just keep all of them because I have MBD!

  10. PRB’s 5th annual Fall Ride! Sept 20-23. Marion, NC 8 Aug 2018 11:47 10 hours ago, 9C1 I will likely be free just Saturday (9/22). And I've been riding for 10 years on the road (have put as much as 30k on in a year), with off roading in my younger years. Probably can't get out this week…

  12. Multiple Bike Disorder (MBD) 5 Aug 2018 21:09 I wish I had a garage so all my bikes could be pictured at once. It's getting out of control now with 5 lol. No cool shots of the WR250R yet, but here are the others. [image: 77685559-AC1_3257 small.jpg] [image:…

  22. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 19 Dec 2017 11:36 11 hours ago, didit I always ride with layers. Like an onion. So I can peel my scarred emotions and stuff them deep down (in my luggage) only to return when tortured. LOL. So shall I. I may try to squeeze in Utah or…
  23. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 18 Dec 2017 11:04 didit, 12/13/2017 at 11:15 AM Warm to warmer. Last year, we had a little rain (on the way there and 1 stormy night) but very comfortable. (F) 80° - 90° during the day: Shorts & T shirts 50° - 57° during the evening:…

  25. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 12 Dec 2017 03:13 Booked for the trailer I do not yet own. I'll probably add a day on the end but have not yet decided. The trailer I plan to own will also be a track day trailer with some sleeping accommodations so I can just sleep the…
  26. 2018 SumSum4 Location 31 Oct 2017 11:04 MaxSwell, 10/3/2017 at 4:13 PM I sure hope you can make it MotorMike. You are a fabulous wingman. The HD rental is a joke but I''m not sure I'm capable of riding one of those big beasts. I don't know how they go that…
  27. FallRide Pics 4 Oct 2017 12:55 bykemike, 10/2/2017 at 10:09 PM Gee Sweeper, thanks for posting that picture of me near my GS at the Oak Park. I had told my wife that I was working all weekend :) Seriously, it was great running into you guys and I…
  28. 2018 SumSum4 Location 2 Oct 2017 10:52 9 hours ago, MaxSwell I'll be bringing Mister Happy with me this time. Y'all have been warned. Warning noted. I don't know anything about your Mister Happy and I won't bother to ask. This ride sounds like it shouldn't…
  29. VFRD Fall Ride 13 Aug 2017 11:38 Maybe Miguel can coordinate the multiple posts lol. At least we have the topic advertised.
  30. Sw-Motech Alu-Rack Topcase Adapter Plate Failed! 21 Jun 2017 01:01 I'm having similar problems, but thankfully caught it before I lost the top case. Luckily, kebrider noted my case was a bit loose and we found the quarter turn screws to be failing. I will be replacing the adapter plate…
  31. 1st Annual VFRD Spring Memorial Ride 25 May 2017 23:51 gloryracing, 5/24/2017 at 10:40 AM Sounds like a good time was had and no serious incidents...Woo hoo! After we sent the rain up y'alls way on Saturday we had a good ride here in AR as well. Hoping to be able to join…
  32. Another Pre-TMAC Adventure - Reptile Roads 24 May 2017 14:24 I was hoping to run most of that going home, but the weather didn't cooperate the past two days. I'm sure there will be a next time!
  33. 1st Annual VFRD Spring Memorial Ride 24 May 2017 14:19 Glad I could bum around poaching rides with various groups. What a great week with fantastic friends! My new S21s still look virtually new, must have slowed down this week. The final leg of the journey was I-40 from…
  34. Another Pre-TMAC Adventure - Reptile Roads 22 May 2017 12:30 STILL sorry I missed this one due to track day carelessness, but glad I could lead / follow the Northerners around some of the finest roads NC has to offer. Sorry for all the wrong turns, but I wanted to give the full…
  35. 1st Annual VFRD Spring Memorial Ride 22 May 2017 12:23 Chillin' at kebrider's house after a beautiful day of riding. We left shortly after Curt and Rob and were the last two out of the parking lot. After a grueling 200 yard ride to Sonic to top off our stomachs, we braved a…
  36. 5th-Gen fork Upgrades 22 May 2017 12:11 Speaking from the perspective of an experienced twisty mountain rider with zero fabrication ability, I chose the following (for my 6th gen ABS): 1) Traxxion AK20 cartridges with Penske triple clicker because I wanted to…
  37. Another Pre-TMAC Adventure - Reptile Roads 12 May 2017 12:15 16 hours ago, Dutchy Glad you are ok. 007, Licence to thrill eh? It was thrilling until it wasn't. 15 hours ago, VFRpwr Steve, glad to hear you are all right and not laid up in some hospital :wink: Take it easy and get…
  38. Another Pre-TMAC Adventure - Reptile Roads 11 May 2017 18:20 Bad news, I unintentionally lit up the rear on my track day and high sided over some wet pavement, then tumbled down the road for a good ways. I'm ok, and should make the Spring ride, but will probably be leaving…
  39. 1st Annual VFRD Spring Memorial Ride 21 Apr 2017 16:39 PirateRiderBen, 4/20/2017 at 9:13 AM AS I REALIZED I FORGOT TO RESEVE MY OWN ROOM! -PRB :goofy:

  41. Dunlop Roadsmart 3 12 Mar 2017 22:27 Per this review, the wear characteristics are spot on: http://www.motorcycle.com/products/dunlop-roadsmart-iii-performance-touring-tire-review If Dunlop throws out a rebate, I might give them a shot. I usually like…
  42. Let's talk tyres! 12 Mar 2017 22:16 Switchblade, 2/22/2017 at 9:21 AM Per Kimball I tried the S21's and love them, better then the Q3's and $215 to the door from JW. Fairly sure Kimball buys stock in whatever tire he recommends. That being said, the S21s…
  43. Another Pre-TMAC Adventure - Reptile Roads 8 Mar 2017 04:21 VFRpwr, 3/6/2017 at 2:27 PM SE, that's too bad. There is nothing like local road knowledge. And, you know, your company is good too. How about a 5/17 mid-week Franklin 28 to The Dragon day...? Hopefully the Tapioca…
  44. Another Pre-TMAC Adventure - Reptile Roads 6 Mar 2017 12:59 Would love to, but as the schedule sits (pesky work) I am only available 5/16 through 5/24. I wasn't planning on being at the Microtel until the 17th but that can be changed.
  45. Roadtec 01 HWM 28 Feb 2017 14:25 I would only consider HWM if you ride a lot of two up or there is something special about the 01's. The VFR is a little porky but not exactly ST1300 territory.
  46. Sixth-Gen LED Taillight Bulb Retrofit 23 Feb 2017 16:49 21 hours ago, Marooncobra How often do you indicate and brake? I would suggest that these circuits hardly reduce the loading of the R/R as most of the time you are riding with none of these circuits energised. I agree…
  47. 1st Annual VFRD Spring Memorial Ride 22 Feb 2017 03:44 gloryracing, 2/20/2017 at 10:14 AM they need someone that is good looking and to be the brunt of jokes I'm sure your super mini tank bag adds to the look.

And here is the TMAC / Spring Ride link for this year: (Sorry to get off topic, I hope it is welcome). I look forward to watching your progress since I may be undertaking one of…
  49. 1st Annual VFRD Spring Memorial Ride 20 Feb 2017 13:40 artpongs, 2/17/2017 at 7:57 PM I have not been to any of these events. And it looks like some of the events have multiple names. Regardless, I'm confused so will just stick to the dates, rather than the names of these…
  50. Power socket locations??? 15 Feb 2017 15:08 Although Kevin's awesome installation above is probably one of the best I have seen, I'm a fan of the Eastern Beaver fuse block. There are different options for switched / unswitched power. I went all switched for my…
