Hey guys! I'm new to both the motorcycling world and this board. I used to ride an FZ6 but just after a month of riding and about 4000miles I got rear-ended by a grand cherokee which basically killed my bike. I decided I wanted to try something different so I found this awesome deal: 31,500 miles (I know I know valve service is almost here), 2bros exhaust, 2 sets front & rear sprockets,brand new chain and sprockets on the bike, new-ish tires, 3 sets break pads, 2 magnetic tank bags, 2 saddle bags and all in all MINT condition of the bike. All that came to me for $4000. So now I'm the proud owner of a 2003 VFR I've put 500 miles in the past few days and I should seriously start thinking of doing the service but I just don't wanna waste any of the few beautiful days left from this season. So yeah, just sayin' hi :vtr2: P.S. And here's my girl
nice and welcome to the madness where are you in MA?? we get together to ride at least one a month sometimes more. keep on the lookout for the following threads for more info and to read of our past rides. http://vfrworld.com/forums/usa-north-east/26564-looks-like-riding-season-comming-close.html http://vfrworld.com/forums/usa-north-east/23696-mt-greylock-adams-mass-meet-greeet.html http://vfrworld.com/forums/usa-north-east/16197-any-gen-vfrs-northern-ct-central-mass-area.html http://vfrworld.com/forums/usa-north-east/24929-summer-bbq.html I also have a link to modding the stock plate holder instead of buyn' a plate relocator cost is nothing time about an hour tops and looks great. hope to ride with you soon always looking for more VFR riders to join us.
Thanks for the welcome man! I'm from Framingham but I don't really ride around here (too much civilization). I've gotten accustomed to take Rt9 everyday after work, get to Worcester, take Rt122 then get on Rt32A, enjoy a few miles of brand new pavement that I rarely share with anyone else, then merge back on Rt9 and head back home If you live around here - let me know! I'd be glad to ride with someone else for a change! Glad to see there are more VFRs in the area! Quiet frankly I don't think I've ever seen any VFRs on any of my rides (local or outside of MA). I'll definitely join you guys for a ride on the next get-together. Which part of MA are you from btw?
I am in the springfield area and most of the guys that ride are from CT. we ride Mt. Greylock a few times and 122 and 32a are nice roads. you ever get up to Quabin ?? it is in the 122 - 32 area around Barre at all? Belchertown ( rt 9 ) Quabbin Reservoir is about 20 min from my place.
This is what my daily ride looks like http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&sou...6984,-71.986542&spn=0.66474,1.674042&t=h&z=10 In other words I go past Quabbin every single day (now that it got colder I'm avoiding the rain as I have no rain gear and I'm freezing too much to ride all soaked ... especially at night). We definitely have to hook up for a ride some time
Will have to meet up some weekend at Quabin. I got a waterproof jacket from my wife for out anny and I picked up a pair of goretex ski pants for 45 bucks off season and the set up works great and fits over my riding gear, I just need some wp boots. I work in CT so weekdays are out.
Welcome, Zmeiaspas. I do think riding in Western Mass beats Central and Eastern Mass, but you have carved out a nice route for yourself. And the bike is sweet!
