    Hello all- I am new to the VFR world, until yesterday. Im your typical 30 something guy who has owned about a dozen bikes over the last 15 or so years- Honda's are my first love, but I have never owned a VFR.
    I have ridden quite a bit of the US, most of the UK, a few days in Germany, and rented a few different bikes in Australia.
    My wife also rides and just this year she had been riding my 919 more and more until her BMW was just no longer enough bike for her. Yesterday she bought herself a 2006 VFR800 that is in great shape. So while I hope to have my beloved 919 back- I expect to be jumping on the VFR regularly.

    My 919- somehwere in Arkansas earlier this year:

    Garage was a little crowded in this pic- The cruiser had to go!

    Most recent ride in Australia- SV650- I had reserved a Triumph speed triple 1050 and when I went to pick it up the damn thing wouldn't start. I hammered this little guy and it performed very well.

    A weekend at Silverstone Raceway with the Tag/Triumph factory race team British Superbike series. Great weekend!

    Welcome to the WORLD and some nice photos. Always wanted to see Australia and hopefully some day I might even get the chance to go for a ride over there. Hope you enjoy the new ride as much as your wife does.
