Topic: My first real road trip on the VFR

Tews,I like your 'signature' and I think that this VFR won't break down on you;maybe you can park the P-Up truck for a while? 

It's a Ford, he should prolly sell it as it will break down before the VFR does!

I always get pasties when we head up North Eric. Grcamma- the Ford is well, gone. From the second week I had it I had brake calipers locking up. Half the speakers worked and now the body was rusting pretty bad. I think it was just my truck as a few friends have them and none of the same issues. 

As for the VFR, what a bike. Handles awesome, lots of power when needed, and around 200 miles to the tank!

Tews,

What part of Wisconsin are you in? I'm from Madison area originally and all but I still live there. My father lives in northern Wi in Mercer by the UP. I'm going there in August and will probably trailer one of my bikes up there. Haven't decided whether to bring the VFR or my '75 550. I definitely want to cruise up around the UP there.

I am in Waukesha. I plan to do another little trip but to GB for the family night with the Packers on the VFR. After a month with the VFR I have ridden the CB550 but it isn't the same. The plan was to never get a modern bike after my accident but now i have this. The CB is being ridden by my brother so it isn't being neglected totally. The CB seems to be a bike I plan to toy around with to keep me busy and ride on the back roads but for some serious riding I will be sticking to the VFR

I hear ya, two completely different animals. I love them both for different reasons. I took the 550 to western part of VA this weekend and put over 400 miles on the Blue Ridge Parkway and surrounding twisty roads. I did the same a month ago with the VFR. It was actually more fun on the 550. Slower, more challenging, but much cooler. I actually hung with some squids on their 600's in the tighter sections, not bad for a 40+ yo guy on a 40 yo scooter.
Maybe I'll hit you up when I get back up to the great white north next month and get a ride in.

For sure!
