what did you do to your vfr today?

Nice selfies Jeff!

I just got back from 300km on the VFR1100ST. A balmy 20C but a bit windy with the odd shower.

Good pics Terry

It is a bit clearer up your way today it has been very windy with a lot of showers here in the Waikato today with a few sneaky sunny periods

AAAH Bliss 4 seasons in half an hour

 

LOL whats this VFR1100st you mention funny boy.

 

Actually the picture was taken in the Waikato, Glen Murray Rd, just off SH22. Maybe I'm just tougher than you???

(The weight of the VFR1100ST makes it much less susceptible to wind, and I managed to dodge around most of the showers.). The VFR800 might get a run tomorrow if it is lucky.

 

You mean if YOU'RE lucky :wink:

 

You make a good point OOTV. Actually the deciding factor of whether I get a ride in is more likely what my significant other decides I need to do tomorrow. It is nice to have stable of bikes to choose from, to match the mood. I'm also looking forward to getting my rowdy VTR re-registered for road use, we get stung to the tune of $580/annum for the privilege of riding an over 600cc bike, so I have had that one on hold for 6 months over winter.

 

Honda v four, gear driven cams, dodgy electrics? Yep, that's a VFR!

You call that being stung. I have my renwal papers sitting in front of me. I have to come up with $1325.00 by November 13. Thank God for the availability of financing.

 

What Randy? not on the VFR surely.. thats crazy, Cadbury, opps Mr. Smith Name change huh? and I thought here state side we have some weird fees.

 

Ouch, that is steep Randy.

What makes the local system irksome is that I pay about 3x for a bike than for a car; the justification is that as a motorcyclist I am more likely to become a medical burden on the state. That is the flip side of our free national health and no fault accident compensation scheme.

Dang, that's outrageous. Michigan adds a fee for 250cc and up, but still, with 2 bikes I'm at half what you are being gouged.
The insurance for Michigan (no fault) car insurance is crazy though... When we had 2 new drivers and 4 cars we were shelling out $6K/year.

 

Hmmm....

I wonder if there is a definition available for "Cold".
If you poll some people, that'd be anything under 60 degrees.
There'd be less argument over what constitutes "Foggy", but still a bit of a judgement call.

Interesting.

Was thinking of 2-wheeling a bit today, and going longer tomorrow. The photos just posted here have me Jonesing for a ride.

But yesterday I tweaked my back. Tough to get out of bed this morning. I don't want to take any chances with the back, sometimes recovery from a strain takes a while. Dangit.

 

Washed my bike and I'm gone riding ....

The ride today didn't help my mood much, but it did allow me to gain some clarity and perspective....

I am residing down Just past Karapiro at the moment and we had just over 35mm of rain yesterday And I still went for a ride It takes a bit more than rain to keep me off the road ...... Brass monkey attendee many times :smow:

Not riding in the rain is a sure fire way to never actually ride your bike living in the land of the long white cloud :rain:

We should make a day to catch up somewhere for a coffee / burger / Beer sometime soon

Cheers
