    my bike

    yea i love it. Had it for about 4 years and no real problems. Got a rear brake disk and pads arriving today and thats all iv had to do to it. I am looking into getting the front shocks done though, thay are getting a bit on the soft side. I think im the 5th NZ owner but not too sure. It was imported in 87", the american spec one and its got 35000 odd miles on the clock. At some stage in the future when i have a bit more money i will upgrade to an 800 intercepter but not at this stage.

    Hi Guys. Another proud owner of a 2008 VFR. Burgandy red. Just getting some luggage for it at present. Keen to meet seasoned riders who can teach me a thing or two. Only been riding for 2 years.

    I'm in Epsom. I'd be a starter for the Westpac run. I hope the good weather holds out for months to come as I'm looking forward to some great weekend trips. :smile:

    Welcome aboard,mate or perhaps I should say,Bonza to have yer here,cobber.I joined about 3 1/2 years ago when I purchased a 5th Gen VFR800 to go with my 2000 VTR Firestorm and now also a "mint" 1991 CBR 400 RR grey import.
    I have lived in Wellington all my life and my wife and I regularly commute on tours to the South Island either as part of a group or by ourelves.The roads are not much different but the way they are policed by the so-called "revenue collectors" certainly has everyone a lot more aware that there could be a "Bear" around any corner, at least they are not in the air here yet.
