The End of the Road.

I moved the VFR out of the garage yesterday to clear out behind it so when I had to go to The Post Office to drop a parcel in I thought I may as well go on it.

After riding it loaded up on holiday this reminded me what a fantastic bike to ride this is. All being well I'm going to do the Seaways - Squires thing later today.

Alborough Post Office is 3.5 miles from us on the east coast. We used to go there on our LC's, go for a swim and visit the amusements.

About 50m up this road was the car park with the amusements. Now in the sea.

The end of The Road? Viggo Mortensen dies but his kid gets rescued.

Sad how some things change Steve. At least the sea doesn't look polluted.

I had VFRs from 1988 to last year when the bike just became a bit heavy to move around the garage which is important for me. Which version do you have?

Mine is the generation 6. 2003 I think. It is a bit of a lump to be honest. I push it backwards up a slight slope to get it into the garage and it's not easy. 

We did three weeks around Spain in summer complete with top box, panniers, the Mr's and camping gear. It was seriously overloaded. I stuck extra pre-load and a bit of extra damping on the rear for the holiday and left it like that. As a consequence it handles much better and feels much more flickable (if a 210+kg bike can be) than it was before and I actually love riding it now, without all the gear on it at least.

I would have quite liked a gear driven cam one but this one came up nearby for the right price. There was a gen 5 or 4 on Market Place the other day with something like 20,000 on it. He wanted £1300. It soon disappeared!

You could do a Thelma and Louise re-make on it.
