New VFR in NC

Hey fella's!

I have been a long time lurker on the site. Well Monday, a shiny red VFR-800D model just followed me home from the Honda dealer! I have to say that I am really, really, really happy with this bike!!! I have wanted an Interceptor since 1983 and it has been a long wait!

I want to thank you guys! Because reading the site has helped me on a lot of decisions with the bike & gear etc. for the VFR. I'm going riding!

 

:welcome:
Congratulation on your new ride
Glad we can help....!
Might want to post some pictures before peeps here calling you a liar ound:

 

Maybe the pic will attach! I'm a bit of a dinosaur & two finger typist.

 

Holy cow it worked! :cool-new:

 

Nooooice :thumb:
You got a Mill in your garage :scared:

 

Did it follow you from Winston Salem? That's where mine followed me home from

 

Welcome, wise choice, you will continue to love it the more you get to know it. I got the Interceptor bug in 1983 and still have it!

 

Mine followed me from Hendersonville! I have never owned a bike that I felt so comfortable on so quickly! I think a short trip up the Blue Ridge Parkway will be in order soon!

Yea I turn a few parts every now and then. My machining centers are in the other corner. I'm already trying to figure out something to make for it!

 

Sorry for double post! Think I fixed it.

 

The Blue Ridge would be nice, a little far from the beach to do a day ride or two, but would be a blast either way. I have a few buddies headed to the Dragon this June. I agree with the comfort, I'm tall at 6'3 and I really like the riding position, after long rides I don't feel like I spent 2hours at the gym. Let us know when you start machining after market parts. You may get a few orders...:biggrin:

 

That's too funny. My buddy bought the 06 from Team Charlotte a few hours before I picked up mine in Winston. He was looking for a used bike and all the talking I do about the VFR, hooked him on it. I Need to recruit him to the forum...

 

Jev-- my buddy just registered Blugey27. Maybe you guys can link up if he has any questions about the bike.
Man, If I bought a used one and could meet the previous owner. heck yeah!! Small VFRworld

 

My VFR came from there too!! Small world!!

 

I will keep you all posted on whatever I figure out to make. Maybe a aluminum bar mount that is flexible for mounting phones, gps etc. Maybe engrave VFR on it or something like that LOL.

I spent 3 solid hours on it today from one end of the county to the other a few times! That's the longest time I have spent on it and it is running really well. Even had a few HD riders wave!

 

Welcome - nice looking ride!!!

 

That's where my first VFR came from. Nice!!:biggrin:

 

294 Flawless miles! Only had 1 moron pull out in front of me this week and I discovered it has great stoppers also!
One quick and stupid question. How do I set the clock? I forgot my owners manual at the dealer and wont be going back till the end of this coming week. I searched the forum, but wow! A whole bunch of threads with clock in them.

 

From the manual:
Press and hold A & B buttons
Press A for correct hour
Press the B button, minutes start flashing
Press A button until correct minute
Press the B button. The clock is set. Turn off ignition.

 

Thank you for the help! Really appreciate it.

 

If you can make something to mount the smartphone that look solid I am in.....!
