what did you do to your vfr today?

Sorry Man, That Sucks!

 

A.M. Ok I know that you are Petite in size. But really how did you manage riding like this. Please explain because I cant understand how you made it home?;-) Are you only 5" deep from butt to belly or just a contortionist?

 

Yes guys and gals, it does suck, just glad I wasn't on the bike when it happened! The last few days riding to and from the job site I got to see some pretty stupid driving, saw two near collisions, one last night and one this morning. The driver last night ran a red light and made a left turn in a major intersection, couldn't believe the luck of the driver. Similarly, this morning I almost saw a lady get t-boned by an SUV that ran a red light in front of the freeway off ramp. Had she not stopped short her new car and most likely her too, would not be in good shape!

 

And it's just getting worse--- zombies on the loose

For those who are curious, here's that close call from Friday...

 

That's why you look left right left at intersections-- and then some

I was the left car in a scenario like that a few years ago, except the right car pulled out and got hit.
I gave them my number if they needed a witness, and sure enough the hitter claimed the light was green when it was redder than their baboon ass.
So, I wrote the hittee a statement.

 

I moved my trio of toys into their own little home, which I have been building in my spare time. They were previously wedged into corners in my two-car garage, but now have their own well lit and wi-fi enabled cave excavated under the back of my house.

 

Sweet!

 

Holy Shit, I want one of these. Now I just have to have the HOA association to ok taking down the wall for my little yard and building a garage on it. I hate mowing the lawn anyway!;-)

 

You guys with MBS
SMH (jealous)
Very nice man cave

Thanks gents; looks a lot better than it did before redevelopment, so The Good Lady is happier too.

 

Nice work! What does that trio consist of?

 

Within the last week/week & a half:

PAIR control solenoid valve assembly removed
PAIR check valve covers removed & blocked off
Intake Duct Valve Diaphragm removed
Snorkel removed / Flapper taped down
Intake Duct Control Solenoid Valve assembly removed
EVAP Canister removed
EVAP Purge Control Solenoid Valve removed
Kill switch installed (ran it off the Black wire that goes to both the Engine Stop Switch and the Starter Switch)
USB power socket installed (via the OEM underseat socket)

I was hoping to get closer to finishing my homemade quick shifter but I found out that the 2P Sumitomo connectors I got from Aliexpress were the wrong ones... (the "fitment grooves" of the ones I ordered were offset on both sides of the connector plug - the OEM ones are centered on both sides)

 

Thanks Greg. The bikes are a 1997 VTR1000, a 1990 ST1100 and of course my 1999 VFR.

I put a new PR4 on the rear. Had to change it infront of the cycle gear in Col Springs on the corner. Not the day for knee dragging on new tire in the rain going up Pike's Peak.

 

Just happen to be driving by a metal recycling yard and saw a scale, so went in to see how much to weigh the Viffer, they said put it on the scales, Ok.......... 500lbs 2 oz. with a full tank. I need to do this again with the tank near empty with a lithium battery.

 

What did they offer you for the bike? Scrap value?

 

No I don't think dirt riding would make a lot of sense for me. Much prefer to hop on something and start riding immediately.
