Newbie Here SwitchBlade, Live 45 Minutes From The Dragon. Been Riding It For Some 35 Years.

Just wanted to say Hi. Still working on the site. Couple months ago bought a 2003 Silver VFR with bags . Have owned multiple of bike over years, 197? Kawasaki 250 Avenger, the first Dragon bike. Went from it to a 1977 Suzuki GS550 complete with Vance&Hines header with rejetted carbs, K&N's and then a set of V&H rework heads.Next was a 1982 Yamaha SECA 650 same performance add-ons as the Suzie, and what started it all a 1984 Honda Magna 700(Still Have). Tried a couple of one liter bike's Blackbird and FJ, just never like the power delivery at the Dragon. I found myself in situations were the power actually hinder me from riding the way I like to ride. The VFR has been to the Dragon twice all ready. I have done a couple of mods, New ZG touring windshield, K&N, Tire's Shinko advance005($152.00on Bikebandit)Let me say at this time I have ran many kinds of tire's and for $152.00 I Likie.Viffer did excellent at the Dragon. Still have a couple issues with her. I did the starter valve sync's but I have a flat spot at 2000-3000 rpm range with no throttle control. The recall was done on the wiring harness but had the bike to die sudden stops twice.
I ride with protective gear having spent two weeks in intensive care and, re constructed surgery on my right leg, a year of my life recovering from moto wreck, without the boots I was wearing I would have lost my right leg. Hope this is not too long first time I have been a part org like this. But any how, if anybody in the area wants to ride I'm in.
