New guy from the PNW!

Hello from the PNW! I'm pretty new to the VFR world and riding in general. I picked up my '07 R/W/B probably about a month ago and have been thoroughly enjoying it ever since. Well until yesterday when it dies on me on my way to work. Charging issues. I still love it though and will get it figured out. I was told to post a pic of my VFR so here are a couple.

 

Since you're new here and to riding in general, you're lack of knowledge is forgiven, but read up here (link) and see what you might be experiencing. Other than this little gremlin, the VFR is a great machine. Find the post with 'The Drill' procedure and you should find where your issue is. Good luck!

 

Thank you for pointing me in that direction. I read those posts before ever making my own posts. Which I have here. I'll be getting a new battery this afternoon and then start the drill.

Yeah just saw that. I also forgot to say...Welcome to The World! As you have already found, this site has some useful information.

 

Thank you! Yes, it does.

 

Useful? where? Hi and welcome, Yes, that's what I'm talking about, great way to starting off an intro by throwing up some photos, Nice. You're just down the street.. sorta, an hour or so south. Sorry to hear about the hic up. Yea other than the charging issue that pops up now and then on a few they are a great bike as you know. The vfr is worth the trouble for sure once that is figured out. Let us know how it goes, there are a few here that are nuts about the RR issue fix. so you're in good hands here.

On that note bet you have hit up Wind river? you're in the neighborhood of the best roads in Wa. IMO, that and NW Ore ain't bad either. Surely you have been here

 

I haven't hit up Wind river. I'll have to check it out. Mostly I have just been commuting so far. My commute is 20 miles of Highway 14 so it's not too bad.

 

Welcome aboard! Great looking bike!!

We'll be out your way after R3 next year.

 

beautiful bike and pics. love the sticker too! welcome.

 

Oh man, does your ride on 14 take you around Carson? If so, then yes you need to get your arse up Wind river, and after Old man pass about a mile make left on Curly creek.
FWIW Good chance you will need what they have too. http://roadstercycle.com/index.htm

 

:welcome: to the zoo lad :wave:
Great riding in PNW :thumb:
Congratulation on your new ride. She is Prutty :love:
Get those RR and wiring fix and you should be happy for many years to come...!

 

Thanks for the welcomes! No, I haven't been out to the Carson area. Here is a map of my commute. Though apparently Google maps thinks I'm flying. I actually stick to HWY 14.

 

Awe, that ain't to shabby of a route for heading to work Now head east about a dozen miles and heaven shows up.

 

I like what the PO did with the wheels--- wonder what they would look like with white centers.
Enjoy

I will definitely do that! I want to find some more good roads to try out.

I think it would look pretty good with the centers white. I'm not sure I want the extra headache of keeping them clean though.

 

Oh Man, not white, you don't want to do that they are a PITA to keep clean, plus they slow the bike down.

 

BUT IT WILL LOOK AWESOME!!!!
RWB need white wheels IMO---- just sayin

Shsssss..

 

I don't think there is any denying that white wheels look awesome on a R/W/B! I'm already slow enough though.
