New member to VFR World

Hello all. I have been reading your posts for advice for a few months, and figured I might as well join. I ride a 1995 VFR, and I moved up to the Viffer after riding 2 CBR600s. I needed a more comfortable bike for distance.

I've had my VFR for about a year now, and am buying a 2002 VFR with tons of extras in two days. I'll post some pics of my '95 soon, and my '02 as soon as I pick it up.

 

sounds good... we're gonna be holding you to theose pics! lol

 

Thanks for the welcome.

 

yes...definately...before and after pics...:thumbsup:

 

Here's a pic of my new girl. My 1995 Viffer is in the background. I'll add some more pics of both when I get home. Already put 450 miles on her in less than 24 hours.

It is the most perfectly modified VFR I have ever seen, and she's all mine! I'm super happy. So amazingly comfortable, and so smooth, it's sick. I'll update the stats on the mods when I'm off this weekend. She has a lot. I'll be selling my '95 viffer to some lucky rider soon. It'll be on craigslist this weekend, so she'll get a fresh bath too. For now, I own two. I hafta sell my '95 though, you know how girls are. They don't share, so they'll end up fighting.:biggrin:

I can't resize the pic until I get home so i don't think it will work yet, so I'll put the links to the pics on photobucket on here too. See them below:


Back to the grind. :thumbsup:

nice! looks great!
you gonna do something about those passenger grab handles?

 

lol!!
You mean the shiny metal ones on my '95, or the reversed ones on my new bike? I like them like that, they are much easier for my passenger to use, and they don't get in my way when I'm by myself.

 

Welcome and congratulations! Bet you can't wipe that smile off your face! Ride safe. :thumbsup:

 

Welcome! I find the hard bags so useful, and I think they look good!

 

I love the way it's set up. Red Rocket Racing out of Cali has done all the engine refinements, the Leo Vince exhaust, and the front and rear suspension. It rides like an absolute dream.

So much smoother than my '95. I'm spoiled now. My girl likes the new ride too. She says "The hard bags will hold so many shoes!"

Thanks for the warm welcome!

 

Congrats on the new-to-you bike, and welcome. What part of Oregon are you in?

 

Welcome aboard.

 

I'm on the central coast. Newport, Lincoln City area. Lots of good twisty highways here.

 

I lived in the Eugene/Veneta area for a while, and made several treks up through Corvalis and out towards your neighborhood. I could never decide whether it was more fun to enjoy the roads, or slow down and enjoy the scenery...

 

When the tourists are not wall to wall, it's really nice. They're only mucking up hwy 101 anyway. The sections of unused highways and back roads are very nice.

 

Here's a list of the mods on my 02:
4" helis, Red Rocket Racing suspension front and back, Oxford heated grips, color matched Givi hard cases, Leo Vince exhaust, fog lights, 12v plug in dash, tinted windscreen.
I know some guys put it in their signature. Is that what I'm supposed to do?

 

That's funny! I was going to ask if Highway 20 was even drivable at this point. It was Motorhome Central 15 years ago. Highway 126 (Eugene to Florence) was just as bad.

Where I live now is worse during the summer months. I seem to have an affinity for rural areas on the wrong side of tourist destinations. :biggrin:

 

They're staightening Hwy 20. The big windy section in the middle between Newport and Corvallis is going to be disconnected and labeled "old scenic highway 20" aka "new scenic biker highway!":thumbsup:

 

There's hope for mankind after all! :smile:

 

yeah dude make a signature lol :biggrin:
4" helis? mine where something like 1.5" up and 1.5" back... how in the world did you fit 4 inches?
