07 VFR gone............

Well, I did it - sold the 07 VFR Anniversary and replaced it with a 09 Goldwing ABS. Still have a 86 VFR 700 in the garage being put back together so I am not without a spirited bike. Hope that I still get to stay around here - Over at the "other" VFR BBS I somehow mysteriously became unable to post once I posted up about buying the Winger! Sheesh! Xenophobia I guess. Oh well - I will be on and off the board as I am doing a total re-do of the 86 VFR. Ride On!

 

Congrats you old fart!! I will own a Goldwing one of these day too!!

Rollin

 

Congratulation..............I know you will be back cause VFRW is like CRACK...........:wink:

 

Honestly, I can't wait to own a Goldwing! Soon as this last kid finishes up college, I'm in the market.

They really shut you down over at the other site?

 

VFR for a Goldwing... Cant say I understand. But at least you still have another VFR and are still on two wheels!
Silver linning.

 

Pliskin you are getting Oooooooooooooold :wink:

 

A GoldWing is my next bike. I figure that it is 5 years out. In the interim, my VFR is setup for touring which it does quite nicely.

 

This is true. But there's actually a method to my madness. My wife absolutely hates motorcycles. Wants nothing to do with them. Until I got her to sit on a 'Wing. She really likes it and feels secure (for what that's worth) back there.

So I think it would be kind of nice to take some cross country rides in the future with the wife, and the Goldwing is the bike to do it on. All I need to do is make sure that she re-reads 50 Shades of Grey before we hit the road.

 

People that bash on the Hondabago are retarded. It's a ridiculously effective machine that does what it does without peer (personally I plan on going to the ST1300 however). Have fun logging 800+ miles a day without any trouble!

 

Wut walk yar planky m8eee. .

Lololol. Just kiddin hahah. If i sold all my viffers i prolly wouldnt leave this place is to much like family lotta good people around here..

 

Sho 'nuf did - unless I have somehow been magically "re-authorized". As was said - the Winger is THE best at what it does hands down. After a 300 mile day on the VFR my wife said upon our return home "We need a comfy seat bike" so of course having learned from 2 prior divorces, WE GOT ONE! In all fairness she did really like the VFR but even with the Sargent seat it left a bit to be desired in the seating comfort dept. Thanks for the votes of confidence - and YES - I am sort of an old fart - 58 this year - who knows when to listen to his 37 year old wife :love:

 

Hahaha............I have to agree with you on this. A happy wife is a happy life for man. It sure nice to be able to take the wife travel on the bike. I took my wife to SLO two years ago and got sniff on the side by a brand new Cadillac drove by an old couple...........I keep on going. She never said a word during the ride in heavy traffic of LA, but I know she is Scare the Sh$$$$$$$$$t
