Picking up A VFR Tomorrow

Got an excellent deal on a VFR from the local Honda dealer. New out of the box 2007 Interceptor with ABS. I haven't resolved the Triumph Sprint issues but no matter what Triumph does at this point I can't see myself ever riding a new Triumph again.

The VFR seems to be very close to the Sprint in ergonomics. I realize it is down a little in horsepower but I never used all of it unless I was riding with Tito. Guess what I will be riding to the Bash.

Still love the Bonneville.

Paul!

CONGRATULATIONS!

The Honda VFR is one of my favorite Sport Touring machines and also one of the best bikes ever built. It can tour cross country or take off the luggage and kick some sportier bikes butts on the racetrack.

You will be amazed how quick, fast and agile it is. It can wheelie pretty good too. Reliable, sexy, fast, just like the perfect woman! LOL :-)

Hope we get to ride before the BASH I have Monday the 25th off.

Ton Up!

Thanks guys. She will be well broken in before The Bash even if I have to take off work to get it done.

Tito, I guess your saying I now have the perfect wife and the perfect bike. If anybody sees me moping around at the bash make sure you kick me in the ass and remind me of these things.

Hey Paul!

Not to worry! I will be the first one to remind you how lucky you are! Robin is a wonderful person, and yes similar to your bike. :-)

Looking forward to seeing you both soon. Mi casa es su casa!

Great another VFR! Except yours will be shiny and not held together with zip ties.

It is still shiny but I do plan to have at least one zip tie on it by bash time.

Yeah Baby!

Now if it would only stop raining. Tito, when you say break her in right I do hope you mean whack the throttle open every chance you get.
