I'm happy to be joining you all here online and look forward to meeting some of you in real life- i see that there are a few of us here in the Northwest.

I've had three early 90's 900RR's, as far as Hondas go, but I just bought a 4th Gen VFR that I'm really excited about. It's a '96 with some 23k miles on it, which I'm told is the break-in mileage for the VFR. It's got a Two Bros high mount, tank bra, some no-name bags, a minor body repair to be done and all in all is a real clean example.

I'll be riding daily, except if and when it snows, and i doubt that I'll grow tired of that beautiful V4 sound, will I?

Hello and welcome to the nuthouse! We have lots of Pacific Northwest Riders on here....some good folks too....as well as lots of crazy canucks trying to jump the border fence to our north.

I certainly will never tire of that beautiful V-4 sound....it is intoxicating to me....soothing as well!

Climb aboard the Forum and enjoy the ride...hope you don't mind riding on the back!
But you are right...that V4 music is a tune I never grow tired of!

Hi Super8. I'm in the north end of Tacoma. Welcome. I've ridden my bike on Vashon. We often take our boat to Blake Island. We've also been in Quartermaster Harbor. Are You getting any snow today? We are.

I know- I'm in Salem, Oregon and am bummed my bike looks to be grounded for the next week at least thanks to all this snow. Willamette Valley + snow + drivers in Salem = impressive displays of horrific judgement, and general ineptitude at life.

Well of course we're elitist; we own the best VFR that ever was. Didn't you get the memo about that?
