    I know you guys are tired of seeing this thing....So, this is the last time I'll post the pics of this revived from almost lost VFR. I finally decided on the wheel color and painted them this morning. I got all the other odds and ends tightened up and I like her. I also finally got to go take her for the ride that she so deserves! WOW what a blast. This is my first sport bike and it handles like a dream. The tires are new Bridgestone somethings??? Oh yeah, After about 5 miles, I stopped at a buddy's house. While we were looking her over, I realized I had forgotten to tighten the rear wheel axle nut....OOOOPS! No wonder it swerved a little every time I hit the brakes. Needless to say, I now have a check list that will be completed any time I remove the tires. Hope y'all like her. I have a whopping total of $673.00 and several weekends in this baby, she better treat me right!
    You guys from the Delaware area, we'll have to hook up. I live between Elkton and North East. Are you guys members of NESBA?

    Looks great, especially for that price. I'm only a few minutes from Elkton, but my baby is currently out of commission. Any good roads close to you I should know about? I only really know the main roads in cecil.

    Nice Job, Doug. I have thought about painting mine a solid color, looks really good.

    Looks awesome.

    Having restored a "rescued" bike myself, I appreciate all of the work involved.

    No amount of photos will ever bother me! Bring 'em on!
