She made it home

So I said I would post it up when I brought her home. I am guilty of being a sneaky bastage........bought this 3 weeks ago but left it at work, where I bought it, 'til the timing felt right to let the wifey in on it. Drove it home a couple of days ago right before the storms headed in. Spent the day going over her head to toe inspecting, cleaning, install block-off plates, chuckage of the evap, and smashing a couple of knuckles. Still raining here today so hope to get out tomorrow to enjoy it a little. I have always wanted a VFR but convinced myself that the motorcycle days were behind me. I should've known that going back to work for a dealership, it was only a matter of time.

I am a happy camper!

 

I always kinda had an internal laugh at doodes/doodettes that worked at bike dealerships that did'nt own an actual motorcycle. Welcome to the insanity, good posting up a picture as some will bitch and moan about that. Hope you catch a break on that chitty weather. :vtr2:

 

Nice, good job posting a photo, that will give you bonus point for sure, so... you had it for 3 weeks before filling in the wife. how'd that work out ? BTW welcome to the zoo. you'll fit right in with action like that

 

Sooooo how did she react?? You told the wife before hand so she could drive ya to work right?
Look awesome wit them pipes

 

It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but she thinks I'm gonna be riding everywhere on one wheel and acting a fool. This is far from the truth. My motocross days are done and gone. I do try to refrain from taking a peak in the garage every hour to get a glimpse....................like a child on Christmas morning.

 

LOL.......I told her the night before that we now owned a motorcycle, and that I needed a ride to work the next day.

 

Thats pretty much what I figured. ..first black one I've seen....looks amazing

 

The black has a ton of metallic in it. It's almost charcoal in the sun. An '06 with 5060 miles, it could've been any color and I'd still have snagged it.

 

I did something similar (buying a bike without spousal approval). In my case I had my eye on a VTR1000F Superhawk on our local auction site that was well underpriced, made a bid which I was sure would be passed, and ended up winning the bike. Oops! As VFR owner I had no intention of selling that, so now owned two bikes, to be fair neither cost very much. To compound the stress, I was having hand surgery that would stop me riding for a couple of months in a couple of days and so needed to collect the bike the next day, and it was in a city 3 hours drive away. My lovely wife took all this without a grimace, gave up her day to drive for 6 hours, and has been remarkably supportive. Yes, I do realise how lucky I am!

Well done with YOUR sneaky purchase, HK SBR!

 

Thanks Cad. Had me a VTR as well back in the day. In fact, 15 years ago when I worked for this same dealership I bought one in the crate as a left over. VTR - VFR kind of go hand in hand.
