Just wanted to say hi. I've been in and out of the forum for a while, had another user a couple years back but can't remember the user name, been inactive for a while. No biggy. I live in Orlando, moved down here from Kentucky to go to school. Ready to move back as soon as I graduate, miss my twisties! I have 3 bikes currently , 2004 Honda VFR800 ( Matte Black ) my everyday riding / touring bike, 2003 Honda CBR ( Gloss Black ) my track bike since I crashed it last year, and a1987 Honda VFR700 ( umm, missmatched fairings!) which is my project bike. Will post pics below. I've been riding for about 6 years, I'm 24. I'm more of an agressive touring rider, I like to take long trips, 600 mile days, or a few weeks cross country rides, but I love to drag a knee on the way there, which is why I ended up with the VFR as my everyday bike, comfortable, and capable. Cya guys around.

Welcome back to the forum.
Nice collection.
Looks like you have your hands full of stuff to do.

Hello and wlcome to the forum again. Wicked bikes. I especially like the CBR. I was thinking of getting mine all done matte black like your VFR.

Welcome to the Forum!!!!

Love the VFR!

Welcome from a fellow Orlandoan (I think that's what we're called anyway). Nice VFR. Always liked those bikes. My cousin had a pearl white '87 when they were new. That thing was sweet and I always got looks riding it.

Thanks guys.

BB: I think my project 87 was orignally white, when I was sanding down one of the fairings to see how many layers there are, the bottom layer on a couple peices were just scuffed up white where they weren't completely stripped before the last 2.. or 3 paintings on it.
Joe Rocket. Its hard to take care of. You can't wax it and its really really easy scratched because of the lack of clearcoat (protection). Actually the onlything on my VFR painted is the gas tank ( metal )... all the plastics are dyed matte black in the molding. I wouldn't trade the matte black color out for anything. I actually drove all the way from Kentucky to Kansas (800miles) to pick the bike up because I wanted the matte black and there was only red ones local, the closest one that color I could find was in Kansas. Sucked but worth it. When you FL guys go riding PM me. I go riding almost every weekend anyway, always up to explore some of the places I don't know about.

Hi and welcome back to the forum!
Bikes look great and can't wait to see the pics of the '87 Viffer as it "awakes from the dead".:D

[sm=welcomesign.gif]That's a good combination right there. A VFR for the street anda 6RR for the track. Must be nice.:D

hmm, I'll take that into consideration whenever I decide my bike needs a new coat of paint. I still think Matte/Flat Black looks badass.
