Dead Forum??

Say when. I don't need any prodding to fish.

 

I'm always here but like you have said not much posting on this forum because I think "rides and trips" "8th gen" and "What did you do to your VFR today are the most popular sites for me. I wish more localized postings from the western states where posted here no matter the content of generation of bike and so forth. I will keep coming back now that there is some re-newed interest.

 

Awesome!! I saw its going to hit 56 on Tuesday - I'll be riding to work then

 

New rider from CO here! Just saying hello!

 

Welcome!

 

Hello and welcome. What gen do you ride? post a picture.

 

I just picked up a 6th gen! It's a2006 that needs some love, but came pretty loaded (I feel like I stole it, haha).

 

LOVE the white!

 

Where Is home base for you? looks good.

 

It isn't just this forum or your location. VFR's and VFR riders have shrunk in numbers drastically since, say, the mid 2000's. Part generational thing and partly the bike isn't sold in the USA any longer. There used to be an annual ride in the Southeast Smoky Mtns. that drew 60 riders for years. Now maybe a dozen. The original "regulars" have gotten "old" in body and priorities as well. Just my observation. I was part of that group but still rode a quick 200 miles in those mountains yesterday afternoon. Just my observation.

 

I just rode a little over 1200 miles this past weekend: went to Sturgis to see what all the hubbub was about. 2 things I observed:

1. not NEAR as many naked people walking around as I thought there would be.
2. WAY too many people on harleys that do NOT know how to ride their motorcycle.

Because of those 2 things, I won't go back.

 

Did a quick trip unscheduled trip to Vegas and back some weeks ago. The heat almost consumed me. Wont be doing anything stupid like that anymore

 

Just a quick note to say I'm in Colorado for several months. I have a couple of 96 VFR's . I just got the second one this past week. Colorado is a great place to buy a bike, very low milage compared to California. Looking to ride during the warm spells. Located in Golden area.

 

Funny just flew to my home in Arvada today, be out here full time the end of July with my bike. Can’t wait to hit the rode up to Golden.
Goin to miss my bike since I commute in LA 300 miles a week.
Let’s se the bikes

Completely agree about Denver/Colorado Springs/Boulder/Longmont/Fort Collins being an amazing place to buy motorcycles. I've purchased 2 low-miles 5th Gen VFRs here in the last three years (one of them, a 2001 model, only had 11,250 miles on it).

Just give this sub-forum a hit when you want to ride and I'll do my best to show up (although I travel for a living, usually about 1/2 of each month).
