Hello, all.

I have been lurking for a while but now I am an official member.  Firstly, I would like to thank everyone for all of the helpful advice and ideas.  I have done a few mods since purchasing my new-to-me 2007 VFR back in February.

I am a newbie rider.  I took the MSF class sponsored by HD back in December. After sitting on dozens of bikes and reading reviews, I decided the VFR would be best for my skill level.  The low insurance and fairly high gas mileage were big determining factors for me.  I am averaging between 41-41 mpg.  I made a great choice!!!!

Since then I have made a few cosmetic changes such as adding the black/grey vinyl on the sides.  I added some accent liights and black reflective tape for safety reasons.  I also did the RAM mount using the tank bolts and the Powerlet mod so I can use my smartphone for GPS.  I changed my levers (Pazzo) and grips (Kuryakyn).  The grips were a huge plus (although I didn't like the price) because my wrist was becoming pretty tender (Carpal Tunnel).

I recently just completed my first "performance" mods by doing the O2 Sensor disconnect and added the Delkevic mini carbons.  The O2 mod gets two thumbs up for me.  I also love the sound of the new cans.  I feel as though I have a totally new bike since I purchased it.

By the way, the bike had Helibars when I bought it and no rear seat cowl.  I believe the windscreen is a ZG but was cracked in a couple of places from the PO.  The guy that did the vinyl for me covered those cracks with a strip of carbon fiber and black/grey vinyl strips covered quite a few scratches on the fairing.

I love shopping at WoW!

Every time I walk through I look at the bikes and just think "WOW! I can't believe that bike was crashed so badly."

They sell more crashed motorcycles than any other dealership.
They boast over 750 bikes in stock... All have been down.

I will say that when they say their prices are firm, if you are a buyer, they will deal.
When I walked in with cash, they made my deal happen for much below their list price.

My bike had definitely been down a time or two (Scratched up on both sides) and plus I did a little bartering.  I figured for a first bike, WTH!!!

What is WoW? I'm assuming it's not World of Warcraft.
