what did you do to your vfr today?

So why can't any pics get uploaded?

 

Loaded a picture from my I phone
Seems to have worked no?

I can't get them to upload either. Sent in a message a couple days ago but no reply as of yet. The old site had a step by step on a few things including uploading of photos. I have uploaded here on this platform but can no longer so. Strange

 

Thanks Royiski What was it you did to get it to load? it's still F' up here. That being a cell phone photo not to bad from a copy over.

Well due to the track time I've been doing and more I'm planning on doing. I went and added some Pro-bolt pre-drilled bolts, safety clips and safety wire to the 5 Gen. Did the rear caliper bolts, front caliper bolts, fork axle pinch bolts and the front axle. I originally tried drilling the bolts, but broke a lot of drill bits and had quite a few plugged holes with the bits stuck in them! Went with Pro-bolt as it was cleaner, faster and easier. Here are some pics.

 

Just ordered me a new Metzler Roadtec 01 rear tire after 6700 miles on a PR4.

 

Pkastic welding job on front fender bolt hole cracks.
Added metal screen and extra plastic.
Melt with Harbor Fright 80 watt tool.
Looks cobby, but should stay functional.

 

Very cool. Great pictures too!

 

Really nice work. Safety wire pliers can be therapeutic.

 

I mounted a set of Dunlop Q3 +'s two weeks ago. I rode it hard last weekend, harder than I've ever pushed her before. She delivered nicely! I also found out that way up in the VTEC range my VFR can lift the front wheel coming out of a turn! It was unexpected and thrilling at the same time. I felt like a Motogp rider. Lol.

 

D what a great job bud

We had to wire rotor bolts. That was fun...

 

Yeah, whenever chasing the canyons, I typically leave it in VTEC mode by staying in the upper RPMS and yes, every now and then the front wheel gets off the ground!

 

I took my 800 on a rider training course yesterday . In an attempt to reduce rider accident statistics, our government Accident Compensation Corporation ( a no fault scheme) is subsidising practical training programs. The programs are at a Bronze, Silver or Gold level. As I've been riding continually since 1982 I felt I was probably more of the target market for Gold but thought that might be a bit presumptuous so I went with silver (which also matches my hair).

Had an interesting day of training videos, discussion around road rules and sensible strategy, line selection etc. Then some observed riding, braking and dodging drills (de-linked brakes were awesome) . Followed by 200km of open road riding and my favourite back roads; was no suprise that they made me the leader so the trainer could sit back and observe. I did rid a bit slower than usual, and paid a lot more attention to staying wide on right handers (my personal bugbear) so the practice was good.

Less good was when two of the group decided (independently) to crash within 500m of each other! Really put a damper on proceedings with two bent bikes, a neck strain and one broken wrist. One crasher (XSR700) had been solely commuting for 6 months but was an experienced driver; this was his first taste of open road riding and it didn't go well as he just rode off the outside of an easy bend. The other (another 700cc Yam) was headed back to the first accident scene and overcooked a corner entry and target fixated himself off the outside of an easy bend.

Will I now do a Gold level course.......just maybe. Might be more experienced folk on that one.

Congrats on the award AM, no gold star for you today though.....

 

After installing my new 520 conversion, went for a 3 day ride including a couple of laps of Mount Panorama race track.
Bloody hell its tight and very steep.
