Da new pimp is in town!

Hey, what's up?

My name is Jason, and I am the proud owner of a 1998 VFR800FI. I purchased it in October 2006, and before that I was mostly a Yammie man. FZR's and such. I ride in San Diego, usually all over the county, but prefer the backroads (of course). :blah:

 

welcome jason. i ride a 98 myself. i also rode yammies before, an fzr 600 and before that a seca ii 600. i also live in cali, but higher up the coast near san luis obispo in atascadero. give us a yell if you make it up this way for the twisties.

 

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I'll tell ya, I just can't seem to get enough of that wonderful gear driven cam noise. Brings music to my ears. :biggrin: :cheer2:

If any of you are ever in the San Diego/Imperial country area, do hit me up if you want a riding partner.

 

Actually, a buddy and I might be doing the PCH trip thingy come this spring, or earlier. How are the roads about SLO?

 

Thanks, and yeah, I know what you mean. The first street bike that I had any "real" ride time (grew up on 3/4 wheelers and dirtbikes) on was my brother's 1985 FJ600 (which felt fast to me at the time), and then it was my 1989 FZR600 (which made the FJ feel like a Gold Wing towing a trailer), then my 1987 FZR1000 (owned it 10 years), and that baby made everything thing else feel slow as molasses. Mostly I just loved the big-bore torque, I cannot get enough of it, however, I have loved VFR's for years...how they look, sound, comfort...and I just thought it was time. The guy I bought it from took very good care of it, and once I went and saw it, I could not turn it down. Another big reason is that everybody and their brother has R1's, GSXR's, ZX's, CBR's, and I wanted something a little more unique.

 

actually some of the best roads in the state are in north slo county. you can find lots of info about them on pashnit.com or plenty right here as we frequently take trips and post pics. If you look in to usa west forum you can see trip write ups that we have done in the past year...

 

typical new member. posts up a time or two and then goes MIA never to return. Can't remember the last post I saw from that guy
