32 years.....
« 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.

Good to see you're addicted to the super-fast red ones.
Looking very sporty there!
