    I know there are some VFR riders in the area, though I seldom see them. The occasional sighting at the Honda shop or while riding the local loop is about the only time I see other VFRs.

    Are they active on other forums? VFRD is also short on area activity.

    Would be fun to arrange a meet & greet, maybe do some tech day stuff.

    With riding this time of year a bit problematic (snow on the road now), what's everyone doing?

    I'm in Boise, close to downtown.

    Let me know if you come over this way.

    Spring can't come soon enough. Maybe we can round up a few more of us and get together.

    Hey that would be great. I've got my vfr torn apart right now waiting for a new fairing to come but when I get it all back together we will have to get out and do some riding.

    Can we get the moderators to move this thread to its proper location now that the geography is squared away, please?

    Hey got the bike up and going earlier this week and have been out riding all weekend so any time one of these weekends we should get together and go for a ride. Do you have any ideah what the road to Idaho City is like? I've heard allot of people talking about it but never have had a chance to try it out.

    Good news about your bike.

    Haven't been to Idaho City in a while, but with steadily warming temps may head that way this weekend (along with probably every H-D rider in SW Idaho:mad: ).

    Not sure what it's like above Idaho City, but given recent snow it's probably not much fun, though maybe doable.

    Need to get mine in the shop for spring service (don't do much myself, beyond oil changes and wheel removals) and am also in need of a new rear tire soon.

    Give me a shout later this week and we'll see what can be arranged.

    I'm in Nampa and would LOVE some advice/suggestions on my 85 VF500 project. Once I get it up and running I'd be happy to meet and ride.

    Not much of a wrench, so I wouldn't be much help on your project.

    You might try vfrdiscussion.com, lots of very knowledgeable folks there.

    I also recall seeing a thread about older VFRs and some guys who specialize in them over on ST-N (sport-touring.net). I think they were in the Seattle area though. Worth doing a search.

    There's a bike recycler (aka junkyard, for used parts) on Chinden in Garden City which may have parts for your bike.

    Good luck with your project and I hope you get it running soon.
