    Hi Guys, I am enjoying my 6th gen VFR very much. I belong to VFRD also. Please don't hate lol. I just want to be able to cull knowledge from both places and enjoy photo galleries, etc. Haven't done my profile stuff yet and I'm not real savvy with forums. Thought I would just embed a photo but not sure how. Questions on mods. etc. forthcoming. :smile:

    Appreciate the welcomes, guys. I'm very pleased to see that there are girls out there that prefer to do their Yoga on a VFR instead of those dumb little grass mats. :)
    I have no problem becoming an insider. Would like a brief peek/trial, though. How do you insert a photo? I'm not that savvy yet. Thanks.

    To insert a photo:
    right click on the image you want to post
    choose "copy image location"
    start a new post here
    type the word "img" in [ ]
    right click after the bracket and choose "paste"
    then type "/img" in [ ]

    VFRW will ask you to type a caption or something out side of the photo posting line as well.

    I like watching guys circle my bike while I have coffee & a doughnut at Duncan Doughnuts.

    My RWB fresh off my Black Widow ramp that I picked up on Ebay.[​IMG] Doing A Competition Werkes fender eliminator as soon as I get home from offshore. Next will be a PC III and performance exhaust. For me the exhaust is about unleashing the growl but also the aesthetic. I'm thinking LV or TBR thus far. I like Staintune but I think those long bottles with, take a drink nozzles, are a bit old school (that said I have a vintage look bike, I know). Plus, when the bottles are too long they make the bike look like a wheel-barrel. Looking for opinions here. :wave:

    Old fart but young at heart. Ooo, scary rhyme, that is. I have one riding buddy that rides a 5th gen and he is retired and 63. But, he doesn't look it at all. VFR's equal Hydroxytone for men, apparently. LOL

    Hey, I'm 63 and just traded my big ass cruiser for a 04 VFR. Haven't regretted it yet, although I do miss my big saddlebags.

    Well, I have just turned 40, so I might not be as much of an old fart, but I still feel like an old fart. Three major abdominal surgeries in the last year and 1/2 = unable to ride my beloved Ducati anymore. So, I'm picking up a '07 RWB and adding Heli Bars immediately. That should be enough to keep the ergos comfy on my old tummy. So, age is just a number and my lower number still = old fart I guess. I look forward to learning more about the VFR from forum members!

    Welcome to the forum. I'm new here myself having just purchased an 04 vfr. Being 63 doesn't let the old body bend quite as easily as yrs past, not to mention past back and neck surgeries. Before you run out and buy those Heli's, check out LSL Riser kit from Spiegler, which I just installed. Raises bars 3 in. and back 3 in. Extemely comfy and about the same price as Helibars, $275.00. Good luck whatever you choose.

    Drewl,

    I notice that many people, myself included, find that the photo insertion system

    here is way too complicated. Is there any possibility to simplify it?

    I'm a big fan of KISS and the VFRworld photo system does not meet that criteria.

    Any thoughts?
