Hi everyone- new VFR owner in Minnesota!

Hi you all,

Excited to get one of the bikes I've lusted after for a long, long time- but I see that most of us did that judging by the forums.
Mines a little dusty, little rusty but already looking much better after a couple weeks in my shop.
All stock except for the Yosh exhaust which still looks good and sounds sweet.

This seems like a great site- look forward to the future VFRing with you all.

 

Got the best looking paint scheme IMHO. Welcome, I'm new here too! Looking forward to more pics of your '86

 

welcome welcome, now that's a sweet one there, you did good. and throwing up a photo gives you more brownie points too.

 

Welcome to the forum. Nice collection of bikes you have had.

 

Welcome. Nice looking ride. What part of Minnesota are you in?

 

I'm in Minnetonka-right near the twin cities.
Cool to get welcomes right away- but bike people always seem to be
the good kind of folks!
I'll post some more pics-I'm going off to pick up 2 parts bikes that came as part of the deal.
Both VFR700's- not 750's and no body work on either- unfortunately.

 

@Knight- those are all current bikes I have now.
I've got a motorcycle problem basically:witless::witless:

 

Welcome to the fold...naked pictures of girlfriends and or wife are welcome....
JFWY.....Enjoy the knowledge here, ignore the idiots....
SOW

 

Naked pictures of wife would ensure my removal as husband and the quick downhill slide afterward
would remove all the motorcycles and goodies that make me part of the forum.
I'd be that rotten troll in the dumpster downtown. If I was lucky.

 

Okay, like I said just fooking with ya
Alway loved that bike and paint....take care bud

 

I figured as much-but only after I thought hard about what JFWY might mean...

 

:welcome: to the madness :wave:
You will fit in here just fine :thumb:
Good luck bringing the Ole girl back on the roads.

 

All my bikes have been put to bed except my VF500F and I am determined to ride it as far into November as possible.
Glad to have another Minnesotan here.

 

thanks killer rabbit- I've been winterizing all my stuff as well- i normally get all pumped for sled season by now but im not feeling it this year for some reason. I'll keep going as long as possible too- but its snowing "up nort" today I guess.
Damn...hwell:

 

So do I have to buy a 5th gen now? I feel kinda out of the club here...

 

:welcome:

Hey, you can get shorter stems for the turn signals so they don't stick out so damn far and look goofy.

 

I put rizoma's on my 916- they're tiny and bright. Just not sure I want to change the VFR too much from stock.
I am already planning to powdercoat a bunch of stuff (like the wheels- white wheels!?! WTF!? Who thought that was a good idea?!) so maybe some different turn sigs wouldn't be out of place.

 

I'm a skier in the winter myself, no room for motorized winter toys.

 

I ski as well. Mostly skate skiing because it's so damn flat here. I do miss the mtns.
Sleds are fun though- like superbikes for the snow!
