WOW !!!

that is unbelievable. but you have pics to prove it happened

SLOVFR · 08-18-2008, 09:24 PM

And that is why you need a waterproof GPS and Radio unit! Glad you made it out to tell the story!!

powderrecon · 08-18-2008, 10:19 PM

Now there is an original posting! Have not seen seen a submarine viffer until now.

Wait and get the 09. Its going to be so much more bike for a little more money, than what you could get now.

Richard Thompson · 08-18-2008, 11:16 PM

hey, this is a great advert for VFR's.

" All New & improved Gen 6, Will run even after being submerged in water!"

great story and pictures. sorry to hear she no go now...

at least you live to ride another day.

have one on us all....

Buckwheat · 08-19-2008, 01:53 AM

I wanna know how you lugged a 500 pound bike out of the water and up over the bank!
Somebody pull it out with a truck?

There's a '04 matte black VFR on Ebay right now with only 330 miles in NJ if you're shopping for another black one.

Geez Andy,

just when you think you've seen it all......! Glad your walkin & talkin ok but I feel your pain man! Maybe the Japanese are using recycled metal from ex Soviet subs?!

Once again thanx to all for the kind words and humourous comments, as expected been at the butt end of jokes from my fellow riders and riding community here, but still very happy to be able to respond to it. Can't really see me getting anything other than a VFR just what model,may give it a month to see if the new model specs are released (officially). Just got another photo after the sense of humour returned.

MLC? · 08-19-2008, 04:04 AM

Heres what I'm getting from my good friends here.
Caption was
" IF ANDY WAS A CAT"

See you're from Raymond Terrace I've only done the Thunderbolts and Oxley up your way for future reference where was this interesting bit of road ?

It was the second low level bridge on Thunderbolts way

cynyc · 08-19-2008, 05:41 AM

That is incredible. Glad to hear you're ok though. Thanks for sharing the pix.

Lipstick I'm sure.

Molsan · 08-19-2008, 09:01 AM

Rember those toyota comercials where they bash the truck, submerge it, light it on fire then start it...

VFR's got it beat.

mikeym · 08-19-2008, 09:55 AM

Nice road if a little bumpy which is of course perfect VFR country, been a while since I rode it was it down near the Gloucester end ?

drewl · 08-19-2008, 03:45 PM

Hey let us know if you get it dried out or what. Please.

GreyVF750F · 08-19-2008, 05:24 PM

Did you shit your pants? Glad your OK. I can't believe you rode it back. Wow. I would have loved to see it happen though. I bet your eyes were like silver dollars bugging out of your helmet. You definitely have tenacity.
