    Welcome aboard and congrats on this "alleged" motorcycle. Please post pics of said motorcycle before others come in this thread and call you liar LOL! Other than some minor electrical gremlins the VFR is a great all around bike that can last you a long long time. How many miles/km on it??

    all the way from scotland, they let y'all ride vfr's over there. i always wanted a triumph or a bsa. it took me 25 yrs to get my vfr and ride it at least every other day.

    So....Scottie....How much did you pay? And how much money do you make? And really, what do you wear under your riding suit?

    Hi chain driven. Welcome to the forum. I hope you enjoy the VFR 800. I know what you mean about the Triumph triples as I have had3 of the Hinkley models.
    What part of scotland are you in? I have a couple of trips North of the border planned for later this summer and thought that you might be able to suggest some good rides

    Thanks mate I have visited the Green welly several times on previous visits. this year Sue & I are staying at Langholm down in the Borders.
    Later in the year I'm coming up the West coast and staying in Lochcarron.
    Your advice about the midges is good. Don't ask me how I know :)
