what did you do to your vfr today?

I've been eyeing those, I hoped someone here would pick 'em up. Wave as you pass through Hou, the bikes are actually on my side of town. Heck of a deal on an '06 with 8k miles while you are here. And no, it's not mine, but thinking I might need another one.

The thing that started me down this path was the bike in question has a nice tail piece. The one on my bike is cracked so the swap saves around $300 in repair and paint right off he bat.

Nice. Just in time to join us on our Palomar ride...

Rip those levers look like a direct copy of CRG's.

 

I got them on eBay. They work great. I bought a pair for my ex 2012 CBR1000RR. They worked great for only $20 shipped. Had no problems and the fit was great.

 

Those bar end weights look good, what brand/where from?

 

They are throttlemeisters. Those came with the bike. You can get them anywhere. Amazon, eBay, lots of online motorcycle shops.

 

Man if they hold up that is a great deal. I had CRG's that look exactly like those on my track bike which also is a Honda 1000 CBR. Still have one on the left side for the clutch but the right side has a Brembo master now. I think they cost about 120.00.

 

Did a big loop around WV. Rt 33 over to Seneca Rocks, then picked a back route to get to Rt. 250. (I didn't take photos, stole the following from the net)

Glady Rd, very twisty with a rolling landscape.


After that, VFR got turned into a dual sport. Climbed over the mountain on Bemis Rd. Wasn't gravel, more like boulders. Seriously rocks the size of softballs or bigger By the time I got to the top, the bike was around 230 degrees. Turned off the ignition and coasted down the mountain for about ten minutes to the bottom without the engine running. I wouldn't recommend this route, almost ate it a few times, surprised my center stand is still there. Only "traffic" I passed was an ATV. :crazy:

 

Sold a set of wheels I used on the CBR 1000 as rain tires for wet track days. There is a set of Michelin Power Pilots on them with 1 track day, buyer only wanted the wheels so I have a sticky set of tires waiting for the VFR. Took the money and bought a Remington 30-06 to replace a near mint Rem Woodsmaster 30-06 I use for eastern hunting. The new rifle is plastic stock that I don't care if it gets scratched up. Shoots sub 1MOA.

 

Something wrong with 270 or 308??

Lol. I like 30-06. And 7mm magnum for long distance out west. Got 308 but will have 270 one day. Can't have enough. Been collecting for a long time.

 

Replaced the oil on my left front fork, due to it appearing to be out of oil, (it wasn't but perhaps low) due to a clunking when I hit bumps. (It's coming from the left front brake; part of the linked brake system. Common it seems.)
So, tossed new fork oil and installed newer... I did find that the damper retainer bolt wasn't tight enough though so all in all, glad I did do this.

 

Gota love other folks interests, me, looking at a Tikka 260 rem to fill the void from me selling off the 308 which was a dumb thing to do since it was a winchester M88

 

Rode it in a tropical storm to confound my co-workers and make management question my sanity.

 

MGrip CNC 1 in lower pegs and went for a long ride

Annndddd??

 

The pegs helped a lot. I rode 7 hours, with breaks every 2 hours, and my knees aren't sore. Usually only takes about 3-4 hours before my knees hurt

The lower pegs + air hawk + 1in handle bar risers + crampbuster made it so I'm tired but not sore
