I just picked this one up. http://vfrworld.com/media/2017-08-15-17-53-15.34686/full?d=1502938473 He is a big lad and a tad top heavy. He gets pretty warm around the big power plant. He is not so much fun to ride as the Superhawk but he is a bit more tame. I now have three bikes, a V-four, a V-twin a...

Good to hear your safe and sound Jim :thumbup: You say it's once in a lifetime but it was not long ago that New Orleans got hit by a once in a lifetime. Who's next. These events are getting more and more frequent with the changes in the global weather system. You know what I have never understood i...

Thanks for asking. Texas is a a pretty enormous place. I live about 60 miles north east of Dallas and it is about 250 miles from Houston. The eye of the hurricane hit below Houston. The bad news is the eye has not come on shore (which causes it to lose strength) and the rotation is churning up the c...

Ride safe mate and it's good to hear from you. Cor imagine us lot hooning around on them Texan roads. One big drag strip. Big hugs sent through the ether and just remember that your parents will always be with you in heart and soul :Group Hug: You guys are the best! You always chear me up. By the w...

Hey Jim, I know how you feel, I lost my Mom in April and my Dad 12 years ago, I have siblings and am still dealing with the fallout. My VTR is my distraction and has helped me to deal with the reality of no parents. Good to see that your well and as previously stated, hurry up and win the lottery m...

OK, I am here!! I have been a bit busy. Both my parents passed at the end of February. Before that my time was taken up with pretty much daily visits and after they were gone I had the estate to settle. I went from having parents, that I had always had, to being a orphan. It is a very strange feelin...

What a great thread! Thanks for posting. It takes me back to my rebuild. Now I just ride the heck out of it.

This story takes the long way around so bear with me. It was a really beautiful day two weeks ago. It was also the day I go to my motorcycle store client's for meetings so I took the Honda VFR800. Bear in mind that I rode it the Sunday before over 250 miles and it was fine. As I backed it out of the...

Terrible incident and what makes it worse we cant even believe 100% what we are told or shown. :( I don't know about the BBC but over here we are not allowed to believe the evidence of our eyes. The media must filter everything so that you get their version of the truth. They are mistaken in their ...

It's funny but mine doesn't make that turbo like sound. I wish it did because it sounds nice but it's just not there. I finally stopped worrying about all the little noises my engine makes and just started enjoying it. I think the VTR is the most fun bike I have ever owned. It even beat my Norton fo...

I owned a couple of Moto Morini 3 1/2s and they were fantastic. It's too bad that I looked like an elephant humping a bale of hay when riding them. They were really too small for me but they were a boat load of fun and they were Italian stylish.

Along with a Pink Teddy :biggrin Glad you managed to get away and have a break from things Jim. Close call with the deer It always makes me grin when you guys talk about 70mph I honestly don't know how you can stick to 55 especially if on the VTR, that's a back breaking speed over a distance. 50mph...

Just had a look on Google maps. Some of that scenery is fantastic :thumbup: I've only been up and down between Houston and Galveston. I haven't been anywhere or seen anything compared to the size of the rest of it :lol: You could probably fit England into it 5 times over :crazy: Yep, about 5 times ...

Texas is as diverse as they come. We have pine forests in the east, flat boring hot plains in the west. Down south, around Austin, is the Hill Country with some of the best riding roads anywhere. If you want adventure riding you can head to Big Bend for mountains and desert. You can always find a go...

Thanks for the kind words. It's not just watching the decline, it's having to watch their brains betray them. Both my mom and dad are both becoming people what would appall them if they knew. I managed to get away and go riding over the weekend. I rode down to South Texas to ride the Three Twisted S...
