    Yes, it's an addictive ride. I have modern stuff too but I find myself drawn to the VF. I think it's because you can thrash it and not die (or get banned), unlike my other hugely more powerful bikes. It really was ahead of its time, when in came out.

    OK, I spoke too soon. I was in the basement tonight and noticed a puddle of hydraulic clutch fluid under the bike. It looks like the clutch slave cylinder needs to be rebuilt. That's what I get for letting it sit for so long. It'll be a winter project and have it ready to go in the spring.
