Probably not.

Back with a new bike, but more SPORT than tour.

And no, I DID NOT sell the VFR. Heading to Custer SD in July on the old girl, 110,000km and counting.


Bought myself a 2001 RC51. One owner, parked for 10 years (indoors), 6500km when I bought it. Spent the last 13 months resurrecting it and erasing the years of neglect.

And of course, FARKLES!!!  (It was bone stock when I got it)

Finally got it on the road last week, and put about 600km on it so far.

Yo Rob.
Thought about you the other day, wondering what happened?

Glad you kept the VFR.

What kinda resurrection to the RC?

I still lurk vfrdiscussion.com even though I haven't owned a VFR for 10 years. Guess I'm still bitter and recovering from the VFR1200. Lol

Saw your RC51 posts over there, noice!

Welcome back. Thumbsup

Thanks Jim!

Borscht Burn ‘18 falls right in my work week, bummer.

Raj, I could fill a coffee can with nuts and bolts and drag it behind the ‘51 if that would help???

Welcome back.

How's the ankle?  


Didn't miraculously regrow one like a lizard grows a tail.

Still permanently welded at a 90' angle.

But that hasn't stopped me from skiing, skating, motorcycling, and losing 35 pounds.  Bigsmile

Better than my knee then,   no skiing, no skating and I'm worried I can't keep the bike vertical if it starts tipping so … I'll just have to wait till I'm old enough to get it operated on.

I don't recall the thread but does this mean that you had your ankle fused?
