Racetrack?
Deals Gap?
Just a great shot one of your buddies captured for you that you really like?
Let's see your glamour shot of your vfr doing vfr stuff.
This has always been one of my favorites. Everybody knows you don't have to go fast at Deal's Gap for the amazing photographers to make you look good. This is no exception.
Fairly clean run on a rainy weekday with my buddy on a far superior machine (he thinks so, anyway 😉 ) giving chase.
I know a lot of guys are way faster than me. I'm not pretending to be anything special. But damn, talk about lipstick on a pig...

Deals Gap
Near Long Creek, OR. Dodging a rain storm. Spent the next day getting dumped on.

May 2017 at Thunderhill Raceway Park, Willows, CA. Second time back on track after a pretty bad wreck in 2015. Don't mind the watermark, Keigwins (now Carter's) was giving us watermarked JPGs with the logos to share on social media as part of their marketing that year.

OK, I'm cheating a little, but the engine cases are stamped HRC, and it's a V engine:

awesome on the track, no so much on the street.......
Hitting the curves just north of Toronto.
RWB is sold but looking for an 8th gen.
Wish me luck.
Me at Laguna Seca back in 2002. This is in turn 8a also known as "the cork screw".

This pic is from an Advanced Riders Course at the Dakota County Technical College track. I use these courses most years as Spring Training.

Sorry it's not an "action shot" per se, but my new 7th gen on my first little trip to the finger lakes in NY state. I fit so many delicious pies in this bad boy to bring home. I love it.

I did a trackday on my 5th gen at Brands Hatch last Thursday, forecast was awful but it was dry all day.
As expected the vfr was as fabulous as ever and hides it's weight quite well ☺️[image: Screenshot_20210512-121801_Chrome.jpg.2e7d8456d69339e220e95b35ccd1c8ee.jpg]

Somebody spent their lunch money on some sweet wheels! Looking good, gig.
Today I put precisely 77.9 miles on the RC51 on roads in my back yard, fantastic roads actually, but unfortunately during the summer occupied by vehicles both 10 times larger, and 10 times slower, than my bike. This time of year it is a know hazard, tourist season, but this afternoon I actually had above-average miles of perfectly paved winding coast road open to me and the RC. To be fair, our locals are very nice about pulling over into the frequent turnouts, as the signs tell them to. Tourists not so much (can you say Mustang convertible?)
As always, the rule-of-thumb here is that the more cows you see, the more bugs you have to remove from your face shield. Rolling through Tomales I made a spur-of-the-moment left turn towards Dillon Beach, then cut through back roads towards Valley Ford. Looped back south through Nick's Cove, Marshall (I don't like oysters), with hardly a rolling RV roadblock to slow me down. What a great road!
By the time I got to Point Reyes Station the parade had slowed to a crawl, but I turned east at Olema to the back roads that I know, bumpy but thinly traveled. I will never sell this bike, what a hoot. 😎
Nice ride! I too was in Pt Reyes Station this afternoon. Up Mill Valley via Edgewood/Sequoia, Panoramic, Stinson, Pt Reyes Station back through Nicasio Valley and SFD. Beautiful day for a ride.
Here I'm waiting across the street from Mt Home Inn for a bus I was behind to move ahead.
And thanks to the BMW driver going westbound on Pt Reyes - Petaluma Rd. who warned me about the CHP waiting ahead!

Haha, same for me! Heading south into Olema a Porche flashed his lights. Sure enough, there he was under a tree at the intersection. Made sure I put my foot down at the stop sign!
Beautiful bike you have there. Red Honda paint always looks even redder in the sunlight.
Phillip Island ride day..

Me, on the 1992 CBR600F2, chasing down Me, on the 1986 VF500F, at Spokane Raceway Park, Spokane WA. We were both Class Champions that season and finished 6th overall WMRRA club points.
Me on my VF400F, Auckland University ride day at Pukekohe racetrack. 1984-ish?

Cool. My Freddie Spencer Arai Supervent is up on the "Retired" helmet shelf with a genuine Freddie autograph opposite the one that came on it. Got it for my 16th Birthday from my parents.
I love the idea of this thread!
1999 model in 2012 on Sport Touring rubber. This was a riding buddy's b-day gift. A bunch of us got together, a few of them went to his house and stole his bike after they track prepped it...and delivered it to track weekend. ST rubber sucks for track days!

2019 on more appropriate rubber. I rode the VFR part of one day and the CB-1 the other.

I don't have many of me on public roads, as I'm riding! This was back in 2015 with my gal on the back. Low key day cruising in western NC.

Love riding in the rain!
I've said that for years. Best teacher of smoothness, good body position, and light inputs...and it is free. The last few years, I haven't had much opportunity to.
