Was thinking about doing this for a while, been procrastinating it all the while. Finally decide to atleast start it off so i will be more forced to sit down and finish it. Other than just doing a ride report for once, i thought i might as well just share some brief thoughts that rushes through my mind as my love for the beloved VFR grows exponentially. Had it only about for 2 months or so, and even with an air tight schedule i found time to put on 3000 plus miles on it. So check back soon for some random write ups and hopefully some catchy pictures.
First off couple of pics of the main character in the story

I started of my riding back in India on Yamaha RX100 about 15 yrs back. Amazing bike and fun to ride, during the years i rode around in India i rode rd 350, royal enfield and various other not so famous brands here. I though i could do it all after riding for these many years in such a chaotic hustle bustle without any events. Once i reached US last year my first bike was a Ninja ZX 6r which i thought i could handle easily with the riding experience i had. But i was so wrong, the riding style, roads and bike was entirely different and formed an altogether obstacle in front of me. I had to relearn everything i know about riding which was at times even harder than learning from null. And hence i been struggling with my riding since the last one year, until ...until i came across the VFR 800, been reading up on the VFR a lot and decided it was the bike for me and couple of months back went ahead and got my 2008 VFR 800 non ABS (sword silver color no extras) at a fairly above avg price tag ..just because i wanted one real bad. Obsession I developed after reading up, hearing rider experiences and watching several videos was too much for me to stay back and bought it right away and started the ride. Little did I know this ride that was going to change my life style on two wheels for ever.
"VFR completely changed my perspective on riding and how i view motorcycles forever."
