Reunited with my VFR!

I just finished a 3000 mile round trip to Dallas on my EX250 (750 miles a day), and the whole time I was wishing I had my VFR back. Well, I was browsing Craigslist and I came across an ad for a VFR that looked very familiar, so I did a bit of research. I googled the telephone number listed and found that it was for the dealership where I'd traded in my VFR almost two years ago. I fired off an e-mail and they confirmed that it was indeed *my* VFR and that it hadn't moved an inch since they got it

I'm getting rid of the EX250 anyways, it's pretty thrashed, and they said they can probably just do a straight trade (1990 model VFR for a 2008 EX250) or I could pay the value they paid me when I traded it in, which was $1500. I'm going to head up to Gilroy, CA from Bakersfield here in the next couple days and make it happen

 

SWEET! it doesn't get much better than that man. Rock on and enjoy!

 

DAng you rode 3000 miles on a EX250? thats....kinda crazy.. dont take this wrong but your not very big are you?

welcome back to the dark side

 

5'8" 130lbs - I always caught flack for riding a bike that was such a "pig" when I had the VFR :biggrin:

 

1990 VFR's suffer from separation anxiety issues. I know cause I have one. Thinking of that poor bike left in some dark and dismal dealership makes me sad. Go get it.
I am also 5'8 and 130 lbs and its the best bike that I have ever owned. I don't know if you are referring to the VFR as the pig.. it is a little on the heavy side for my scrawny ass but hey I am in love.

EDIT: the wife just informed me that I have porked up to 145 lbs.
oh well. go get your bike and post pics!

 

Cool story. It's also a bonus that you were the last one to put any miles on the bike. Let us know when you get it. I'd like to see pictures too.

 

so has she finally started cooking real food? :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

 

No I think the cutting back on the alcamohol has made me snack alot more and eat alot more sweets, lol.

 

i once swapped bikes with a guy who had a ZZR 250,and he rode my ZZR 600.

the up shot of that was that i couldnt wait to get off his bike and back on mine, and didnt want to give mine back.
it was soooo slooooow i almost fell asleep riding it...suffering from 'are we there yet' syndrome.

i have no idea what 3000 miles on an EX250 must have been like...but the thought scares me..

go get that good old girl...and show her some attention.:thumbsup:

 

Rock on. That is very cool.
