Hey all, It's been a long time since I posted in this forum, I think my last post was in the fifth gen forum after a road reflector destroyed the engine back in 2014 - which I swapped and have since hit 100,000 miles on the bike this July 4th. I rode across the country on this same bike in the summer of 2024, it was a wild trip full of adventure, highlights included doing high speed runs on the Bonneville Salt Flats, some questionable off road riding, tons of amazing National Parks and technical winding roads, and capping it off with completion of my first Iron Butt Association challenges. I had an unplanned chain replacement and tire issues, but the bike itself was rock solid on the 10,000 mile journey, even at 26 years old with ~87k miles on it at the start - gotta love VFRs. I posted a full recap of the trip with photos/videos on ADVRider (link below) if you're interested in reading more about it: https://advrider.com/f/threads/balt...-back-on-a-1998-vfr800-may-june-2024.1785705/ I also put all my gopro videos from the trip in this youtube playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9DvxzVIwTSC5lZQXAICLcjH6-gFGpymF&si=yMuUjMQZ-fQx25qh
