    hey folks!
    I’ll apologize for the long story in advance, So yesterday I was able to pick up my new VFR I have always wanted, I have a little story about how I ending up with this rig!
    About 10 years ago I made this account on vfr world, when I was interested in buying a white VFR at the dealer in 2009 when they were released. I was in love with vfrs since I was a kid but there was one problem, I was a pretty big man 6’3 350 pounds.
    After discussing with a few people on this forum, I made the decision I was to big for the bike. I ended up buying a 2009 Harley Rocker which was pretty fun and got lots of looks.About a year after I had the Harley, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s and colitis disease and became very ill and had to sell the bike, over the next 7-8 years I went from 350 pounds all the way down to 130 pounds and almost passed away. After a lot of hard work and determination I got back up to a somewhat healthy 190 pounds! So I started back to work last May after getting back on my feet and I made a local classified add that I was looking for a white 2009 vfr. I never thought I would get a reply, VFRs are pretty rare in this area let alone a white One.10 months later I get a reply from a man 5 hours away from me (close to the dealership that had the white VFR I was looking at back in 2009) so after talking to the guy about it , We figured out he bought the white VFR I was looking at back in 2009! He had it since new and only put 6500 kms on it! So me and my friend jumped in a cargo van and went and picked it up! It’s pretty cool I got to buy the exact bike I wanted 10 years ago I almost can’t belive it, the same one! He also had the bags for it! Anyways guys sorry for the long post but I thought it was kinda cool to end up with the bike 10 years later! Never give guys and safe riding!!!!!!!!
