Noob from Ottawa Canada

Checked into wrong area of the forum this morning so thought I should say hey this way.

Have been out of the scene for almost a decade (sold a Zephyr 1100 to grow a big family).

Since my wife of 20 years finally got the urge to learn to ride, in a few days I'll be picking up a much loved red '99 VFR near Kingston just for me (16,600 on the odometer, Vance & Hines exhaust, Corbin saddle, double-bubble screen and some nice billet details at the cluster/bars).

Think I'll be able to keep up to wifey on her Ninja 250 ? lol :wink:

Anyway, anxious to learn more about it while riding the hell out of it.

Welcome aboard Seppi. Post up some pix soon as you aquire your ride and tell us more about yourself. This is a great site. You will not regrete it. Lots of advise...mostly good but some....um...well...a bit off the wall.

 

Thanks, Randy...will do.

The fellow I'm buying from is out of town next weekend then returning to put new shoes on it but once my wife & I both get the bikes beside each other in the laneway, we'll snap some pics and post 'em up.

Off the wall you say? Well, I'm a regular at an absolutley wild forum where the members are literally off the hook (it's no holds barred...called modernmuscleforum.com for anyone with a modern, rear drive V-8 vehicle if interested. Tell 'em Mag 8 sent ya - My DD is 6.1 L Magnum SRT-8).

I could easily see vfrworld becoming my new fantastic daily diversion, though!

 

Whoa! Just got my first glance at the bike with the tinted double-bubble screen - It must work well but it's uggin' fuggly! It's probably going to be changed back to stock the first day I have her home (should be wednesday now which is good). The seller just had Full Bore USA M-1 street sport radials installed. I hope they're good! Anyone have 'em?

 

WELCOME AND HAVE FUN! Ride safe!

Hola amigo, no wait, wrong border, How's it gowin A?

Love to see the new pictures, even with the ucken fuggly wind screen. Cool to have the wife up too. My wife said she wants to go through the motorcycle course here in Sacramento California, she is such a girl, but love that she is willing to try.

Welcome aboard, there are some very nice people here.

Thanks "y'all" for the welcome.

It's gonna be great to get back into it.

Kathleen's quite girly too, so was drawn to the white/pink Shift & Joe Rocket gear complete with white leather gloves and white scorpion helmet.
She plans to stay with her trusted little Doc Martin high-tops for a while and that's OK with me as I find a size 6 DM boot kind of gothy-hot.

I'm a safety-bright Olympia 3/4 jacket kinda guy myself.

See on VFRW!

 

Beauty way ta go eh? Welcome from the sunny south,of Ontario anyway. The dubble bubble is kinda fugly, I went with the ST in dark smoke and it looks sweet........

 

Thanks. man. Garbage strike over down there yet?

Like the one on your red ride? See...now that I like - looks stock height.
Are the screens a mofo to swap out?
Here's mine -
