Hi to all in The VFR World.

Happy New Year to all. My Christmas was blighted by the theft of my beloved vfr1200f from a hotel carpark in the West Midlands, Walsall in fact. The UK. This happened on the night of the 16th November 2019 which was a Saturday night. It hasn't been recovered ( stripped for parts probably) and my insurance gave me a generous payout, but I am still out of pocket. Plus the loss of my bike which deeply affected me. I've bought another bike, not a Honda, no, a Yamaha mt 09 Tracer. I'll get my hands on it on Sunday 12th Jan this year. A few days in fact. Please don't think me an apostate to the Honda brand. The vfr1200 was a brilliant machine, but so is the Tracer, and a few pounds lighter. I hope I can still dip into VFRW0RLD now and then and not be shunned. So there it is. Have a good year in the new Decade. Saul.

 

Sorry to hear about that, not much else to say really ...glad you got a decent payout at least

The Yamaha is a nice bike, good luck with it and keep in touch

 

That really blows. All bike theives go to Hell. I've ridden the Tracer and it is a terrific machine. Good Luck Saul.

 

Had wondered why you dropped off the site for awhile and I'm a little pissed to find out why. Best wishes and good luck with the new moto. I don't give a hoot what you ride, always enjoyed your atmospheric posts.

 

Happy belated new year Saul, sorry to hear about your theft!

 

some real bastards about, sorry to hear about your bike going missing enjoy the Yam

 

Thanks for the reply. I'll keep in touch. I now have the Tracer and it's a good machine. It's red like my old VFR which is a comfort. Thanks again for the kind comment.

 

Thanks Norca, nice to hear from you. It was a sad moment for me when I walked out on a cold, damp Sunday morning to find my bike was not there, no where to be seen; I actually walked around the carpark looking for it, in case I'd parked it somewhere else, but I knew I hadn't. Bike theives are SCUM. Thanks for the comment. Have a good 2020 my friend.

 

Hello Laker, thanks for the comment. The weather here in Wales isn't so good so I haven't been able to go far on my Tracer but I'm liking the bike very much.
