Old rider, New member! Howdy :)

Hello!

My name is Aaron, I live in Phoenix AZ. I grew up overseas in Australia racing in multiple events and trained by some very well known riders. I grew up with racing fuel in my veins and only a fear of losing I have a 1997 VFR 750 with 16700 miles on it. Unfortunatly she's been sitting for a couple years as I heavily jumped in to the car scene with my 2014 mustang sponsored by Trufiber. Backing off the car for a little while I got the bike running and decided it's time to get back on 2 wheels.. BOY DID I MISS IT !!

Looking forward to meeting everyone here, and as I restore this ol'girl I definitely appreciate any help!

 

Howdy and welcome to the world of VFR companionship. You IMO have the best of the lot. Thing is, if there's no photo, it ain't real right? jk, but a photo would be cool ya know. just saying

 

Welcome aboard Aaron, it's always good to have new members, i look forward to meeting up someday. Tim (speed)

 

:welcome: to the nuts house mate :wave:

 

Haha, it's real I promise!
Unfortunately I just don't have a good photo of the bike on its own or put together for that matter lol.
The sun damaged the seat and fairings so they're being repainted and a new seat is on the way, then I promise to photo-shoot her up!
Thanks for the welcoming though ;D

 

Awe. man,, we need before and after shots

 

Welcome to the funny farm, glad ya finally came to your senses and got back on two wheels.

We have a rubber room waiting for ya mate. There is a regular here, Marrib, who lives in a couple of the cheap whore houses in Phoenix. OOOOPS! I wasn't supposed to tell anyone. He likes to look over his shaft closely then play with his balls often. Out in the open on golf courses.

Welcome. Looking forward to seeing your restored girl soon.

 

Welcome aboard! Good to have you around!!

Post some photos if you get a chance!

 

Hi and a belated Welcome to the MadHouse from the other side of the pond:welcome:!

You might want to update your forum profile (Forum Actions + Edit Profile) to include the specs of your bike and an approximate location (city/state is fine) that way they will appear automatically beside your posts and if you need help with the bike you may find someone living nearby willing to swing by and advise especially if you have a well stocked beer fridge.

As for pictures -you will quickly discover the folks on here really do like pictures - so don't be shy - it certainly does not have to be perfect given the frequency the folks on here park their bikes on their side, and you won't be the first to show up with just a pile of bits to show as their new VFR! Its easy to add photos to any post - just click on the "insert image" icon, then follow the prompts to select and upload images from your computer.

If you have time maybe start a re-build thread so we can follow your progress.

(PS yes we have an insider at RideNow Powersports in Phoenix who if you are really struggling might be able to help. He dug me and Scubalong out of a big hole when we spotted his rear tyre was down to canvas when heading via 66 and the Grand canyon to get to last years R3(look it up). If you want a challenge then try to get the bike running for Memorial Day 2017 and give it a good test run by joining in on the West Coast madness R3 weekend - that is provided Terri lets Reg organise the usual chaos :juggle:op2:.)

Good Luck
