    Hello Everyone,
    My name is Mark. My wife Sheree and I just added a red 1998 VFR800 to our toy collection. It will be her bike primarily but I'll be the one maintaining it and adding goodies and gadgets as time goes on. We bought it from the original owner with 34k miles. $2,700 got us the bike, a helmet, a krypto lock, 2 sets of gloves, a battery tender, maintenance stand, trailer chocks, and canyon dancer straps.
    It has a ZeroGravity screen, Corbin seat, TwoBrothers Carbon slip-on muffler, and K&N filter and it looks like a later model regulator/rectifier was put on at some point (Didn't the original has a smooth outer case?... The one on the bike has fins.).
    She seems to have been well cared for despite a low speed laydown that did some very minor rash damage to the pass side enginerear peg and the pass side case cover where the fins are.

    My bike is a sapphire blue 2002 Triumph Sprint ST.. a British cousin to the VFR some might say. Full hard bags, Stayintune exhaust, gel seat, and riser bars. I almost bought a 2001 VFR back when I was looking for a sport tour bike of my own, but the Sprint showed up in my search at the last minute and I just couldnt ignore it. It has been a fantastic bike.

    Right now the VFR is being stripped. I am gonna fix the cracks I found in the fairings and repaint the bike (My wife likes the pearl white honda color, and I'll paint the large Honda wings on the side fairings in the same sapphire blue as my Sprint). Full fluid change, chain adjustment, valve job and brake work are also planned before she starts riding it regularly.

    I've posted a couple quick pics in the gallery.. give 'em a look! I am looking forward to getting to know everyone and hope to find some local DFW people to hook up and ride with in the future!

    Mark

    Make 3500$+ PER month guaranteed! With surveys for money.....

    I tried one of those online survey sites about 4 months ago that
    say all you have to do is spend a couple of minutes filling out
    some surveys and you will be making hundreds a day..... YEAH RIGHT, I didn't make anything.

    I joined 7 of these stupid websites and I actually tried filling
    out a couple of surveys on each site and they took forever then at
    the end they wanted me to buy things or I couldn't complete the
    survey.

    These are complete scams so be aware!!! I couldn't believe they
    were even allowed to sell such bogus products.


    Then about 2 weeks ago I was watching the news and they had some
    vice presidents and marketing managers of some major multi million
    dollar companies talking about a site that they personally work
    with to pay consumers for their opinion, A site that actually just
    wants the "average Joe's" honest opinion on products and services
    and is willing to pay big money to get them.

    >>>>>>>>>>>>> Welcome To Paidsurveys for more information <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

    I tried this site out and it is the only one I have ever seen that
    actually pays you just to take surveys. I made almost $100 in my
    first day just filling out 3 simple surveys.

    This is the only legit survey site online, so if you are
    interested in making hundreds per day just giving your opinions
    then make sure you check this out.

    >>>>>>>>>>>>> Welcome To Paidsurveys for more information <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

    P.S. there is a video on the homepage that will explain everything.
    If I were you I would at least check the video out and if you don't
    make at least $300 in your first week they have a 2 month refund
    policy so just get your money back!!! This is definitely worth a
    look!

    Go to Colorrite.com and search for 93 Honda VFR750F. Color code NH193P. BTW, its urethane, so recoats need to be done quick. And you can get urethane clear from them also.

    Do a good job, we want to see pics.

    Roger that, and thanks again.

    The bike is over at the dealership now getting the 16k mile treatment. I should get it back Friday or Saturday. Bodywork prep begins this weekend. I will hopefully have some pictures to post by Easter!
