what did you do to your vfr today?

Well, not so much as what I did to my VFR today ... but what the hell ... my girlfriend is getting more and more into my riding. Super awesome!

She's now stolen my Honda hat - looks like I have her hooked now. Next thing you know, we'll be getting her her very own bike next. LOL!

 

< you'll need one of these now.

 

where can they be bought from?

 

I have a nice red Honda hat that I never wear and no girlfriend to give it to....... wife won't let me have one.

 

... so when are you sending me one?

 

Ah.. I have made up as needed from LIDS, so if interested, PM me

 

Will do !!

 

Just installed my new grips. Then I ordered a zero gravity windshield from 4wheelonline.

 

Caned the fuck out of it going up the Fosseway ...had a bite to eat then did it in reverse, carefully remembering where the speed cameras were

 

As it goes, I've Been sorta on the chain gang thinking, in that I believe I may have found that this may be the new way to me of doing the lube down. Other than you need to take the secondary chain debris guard off, it makes for a good way of getting the chain nice and slippery

 

Talk about total BS, changing out the bulbs in a 5th gen shouldn't be this difficult $#@! at Honda. Got it, finally thanks to a trick stick, but Holly Christ, talk about such a simple thing to do, yet..........

 

Well maybe not so tricky, but ok. Got a stick just the right length, not to short, nor long to get up in there with the right slots to be able to move the clip where it needed to go. That spring clip is a bugger, that and hard on the finger tips, but this little dude got it done.

 

The PR series seems to have a real issue with scalloping ... even the PR2's did this for me. One of the reasons I've sworn off the PR-series tires for a front tire.

My T30 EVO GTs are still on from last year, got amazing life span out of the GT ... though the rear is now past the the wear markers finally. I need to order a new rear. The front is still good though, and the siping hasn't caused scalloping or odd wear patterns.

A friend uses the Angel GT's and likes them.

Funny about the cooling issue - mine the past few weeks hasn't seemed like it's been cooling as well as it should normally. My next post explains what I've done ... it's gotten better, but I'm not sure I'm still 100% happy with it.

 

Already changed the fan temp switch. Bike still seemed like it was running hotter than normal.

Did a chemical flush of the rad and put new coolant in, and I also changed the thermostat. It was hot AF out yesterday when I did it, with temperatures hitting 31*C (39*C with the humidex) ... I couldn't find my canopy to work under.

Anyways, it seems to be running better now. Rode it into work this morning and seems better. We'll see over the next few days I guess. I may add another fan like Marrib did.

I noticed that after the 2000ish highway miles I put on my interrupted trip to Montana and back, that my T30 EVO front is squared off some. I guess I need to spend more time in the canyons to round then out again.

I was able to spend a day in them yesterday, but damn cars and all. It's like they are public roads or something. I'm really needing to do a track day or four. Get my speed fix in.

 

I tell ya, you guys and your tires Pireli diablo Corsa I say But then , you did all right there Jen. Yea, what's with these 6th gen heating up anyway? seems there's been more of late with this issue.... knocking on wood, looking over back for Murphy.

 

Side mounted radiators I think ... if the system isn't kept tip-top, I think it's more susceptible to heating up.

I haven't overheated, but I always keep a close eye on my gauges, especially in this extreme heat.

 

Well typical me, can never seem to post the stuff that happens the day it happens. Then again when you're busy getting systems ready for a client move in, personal time is very limited. That out of the way, was at the job site on Thursday and everything is normal, then I walk pasted a guy spoke to in passing says to me "Hey, your the motorcycle guy right?", "Yep, what's up?" "Some dude just backed into your motorcycle and they're looking for you!"

"WTF!? Are you serious?, "Yep, it's laying on its side out there in the parking lot"

Well, low and behold, when I get to where I parked it, this is what I was greeted with. Needless to say that my language was a bit colorful but I quickly calmed down as I was at work and needed to be professional. Adding insult to injury though, when my bike fell, it hit the car next me. Total damage to my bike, left side panels scratched up pretty bad, MRA windscreen totaled, right side mirror busted at the pivot and cracked the GIVI top case. It was actually dislodged from the bike when I got there.

Long story short, insurance claim filed, they'll be collecting from the guys company insurance as he was in his work truck.
