    VFR = 2006
    Me = 1962

    Love this bike. Rode a lot when I was in my 20's but never got back into it. My brother and dad are HD guys but never got the itch. But - took a job 3 months ago with 60 mile, one way, commute. My nephew (Honda Technician) found the bike for me at his shop AND got me the "family discount". So now I get to ride 2 hours every week day and squeeze in a bit more on the weekends.

    Details: Black, Honda hard bags, heated grips, Sargeant seat, aftermarket windshield.

    Life is good!

    o.k.

    I've just got a few crappy pics on my blackberry. I'll get some up after I clean it up tomorrow. I rode through some drizzle this week and it's not especially pretty.

    o.k. some pics

    Thanks for the warm welcome! I've gotten a bit of teasing about having a mid-life crisis - that's why the old guy comment. Actually don't feel a day over 45!

    Me 1962, Red VFR 2007. Back into it after a 15 year hiatus. Loving the VFR, but made the mistake of testing a Ducati Streetfighter the other day. Intoxicating combination of upright, nay, comfortable riding position with "holy shit!" power. Do I hear "oops, I did it again..."?
