VFR rider groups in the Western U.S.

I am looking to joining up with some of you for some distance rides in the Western U.S. and getting knowledge of this bike this year. And next year getting into Canada. I do ride better than I use the English language After having both skills for over 30yrs !;-) Just a shout out. Thanks

Anne Marie and I are talking about trying to get an annual thing started in the Black Hills possibly ... stay tuned.

 

Just in case this all comes together:

Do they have a bigger tent?

 

Na, you don't want to come out west, the roads suck big time. My advice is go east where it's flat and safe, AM can give ya a tour of the best there is.

 

LOL ... or we can hop over to Saskatchewan if you like straight and flat ...

 

Every Memorial Day weekend, we have a VFR get together in Atascadero, Ca. That would be something to consider making one year.

Check out all the R3 threads for a better idea.

 

Might be a big turnout next year ... The Great Canadian Invasion

We already had a canadian invasion. A few years ago we had, what, 4 of them there? I think that was it...

 

Yah, but you've never met me .... you had "Canada Lite"

 

I found one at WalMart today on aisle 7. Made in China.

 

We know how to drink, smoke, fight, and swear ... and crosscheck properly before we can walk ...

 

Amazingly enough so do some "Utahn's". It's funny to see the perception of others about what someone living in Utah is really about! No funny underwear here! Someone from France posted "Do they Celebrate in Utah?" Hell ya, Family-God-Guns and amazing canyons! Like Texas, Utah wanted to be a separate Country and one time!

 

Thanks to all!, for your input this last couple of weeks! I have added the bar risers that color match at 1.25 inches rather than Hondas. And made "A HUGE DIFFERENCE FOR ME!" I got the color matched rear seat cowling from the dealer last week and installed it today. This, I would not have unless this community raised the question, but I think that it is to pretty to work on a Sport Tourer with soft bags rather than the stock or GIVI's or a passenger. It's going to scratch to easily and (I cannot and will not pay $865.00 for the stock bags.) Though I would love to have them.

The center stand was a bitch due to going from .6 hrs because they guessed and did not know that they had to remove the whole exhaust to install and changed it to 2.0 hours with the dealer shop cost. I did not have the tools to do the job. But, they cut me a break at 1.6 hours. It added weight that I did not want, but of course it will save me money in the long run as far as oil changes, Chain maintenance.

And Finally a "Tank Pad". I did not like it a first, but It will do the job and adds the "VFR 800" to the "Interceptor" cowling "Badge"

P.S. Every Honda VFR is "Badged" as such on the frame. It does not matter on the cowling or tank either U.S or world wide. It's just smaller and you all love this bike, and I am beginning to as well. I look forward to meaningful posts on Tweaks, Rides and meaningful banter rather than bullshit about the Gen 8 VFR. For now I got what I wanted. Again thank you for those that want to help new owners rather than judge and criticize even with the smallest questions or language that may not understood.
