Sold my Ninja....back to Honda

I found a 2003 VFR with ABS and only 8000 kms. I love this machine it is solid, fast, and I hope build to last. Honda has a safety recall on the electrical housing....So after that is repaired..The machine never had any problem but ...better safe than sorry right! I will be looking for touring luggage.

Congratulations and welcome to the legion of VFR owners!

 

WOW!

Welcome to Our World! We Offer Whatever We can, Opinions, Waves :wave: and Whenever possible Other Wonderful stuff. Seriously, welcome... now the silly part since you said something that made me laugh a little. I'm not trying to pick on you, just the luggage word... :wink:

Touring Luggage - that is so not the nozzle way to say it. :nono: Sounds like you are going to drag a trunk onto the train, or have pasley sticked bags for your mother-in-law. Maybe it is just my mother-in-law experience that makes me feel this way... but that is another subject.

In my best effort to assist WOW68 to mature to the next level (WOW69!) I offer the following alternatives and hereby solicite additional constructive responses from the vast citizens of the VFRworld:

Saddlebags
Hard cases
Tank Bags
Side Cases
Top Cases
(It is appropriate to add "Factory" in front of the "Side" and "Top" cases to distinguish them from other fine examples [Givi and/or Corbin])
Aussies will have a unique term such as "bin" "boot" "bonnet" or something that sounds like luggage, but is not (help out here John 451). {regardless, ensure the luggage is not "manky"}

 

I have been meaning to mention, your Avatar is an awesome capture.

 

WOW68 --- AKA WOW69 ; WELCOME ;that is all I can say at this time:lalala:

 

OK Ok OK...thanks team for the heads up with the Grandma Luggage comment...It is painfully clear that my lingo, jargon....needs to be updated
Once I figure out how to post a new thread my education can continue..Ciao

 

WOW68 the more you ride the vfr the more you'll want to ride it. Don't worry about your jargon theres a few things you'll learn on this site about your bike then after that about the people but after all thats what makes the world go around welcome to vfr world it rocks!!!(think noz wants to 69 you not sure be careful don't drop the soap) lol

 

68WOW: no, you're fine with the Grandma Luggage... I have the personal baggage :wink:

If you search VFRworld there are a number of threads on what works best for folks and where to find it cheaper/est.

 

Elf - I kind around too much some times. sorry if I rubbed you the wrong way. :thumb:

on the 69... I'm thinkin' you've confused on how the math works, the square root of 69 is 8 something. Know what 69+69=?

 

Polite, respectful, and a bit insane... that's us!

Welcome, WOW68, and congrats on the new VFR. I never really thought about it before, but I usually refer to my saddle bags as "soft luggage", but try to include "motorcycle" in the same sentence so non-riding folks will know what I'm talking about. Good thing you said it publicly first... Har, har!
