Title: 32 years.....
Post by: laurie on November 03, 2015, 01:45:54 PM

Hi all
Yesterday I lashed out and bought my first brand new bike in 32 years. The last newie was a CX650,the latest newie is a VFR 800. Not sure what I am going to do with the Old ST yet, but for a little while at least it will stay covered in the shed.

Hi Brian
I went there looking for a used VFR, came home with a new one. Rode from brisbane to home(Lismore) with a big grin. Did a loop this morning around Lismore,Kyogle,Casino and Ballina, still with a big grin, Reckon I made the right decision.

I hope you took the scenic route home Ican think of numerous routes other then the highway (uuuurgh)
I had an 01 vetch years ago and loved it so I was seriously considering another one. I'm sure you lol love all of this fantastic roads that wind their way around the Richmond district
Cheers Brian
