Scooters and Other Two -Wheeled Fare

I've grown up around motorcycles most of my life. But now, our lives revolve around our young daughter. That's probably one of the reasons I got into Airstreams. Camping is a little more family-friendly than motorcycling.
A good friend of mine has had a 1994 Honda VFR since almost new. A couple years ago, he stopped riding it after it fell over in his barn. I had the good fortune of asking to him if I could buy it at a time when he was ready to sell it. As of October 2005, I'm the proud owner of a new 1994 Honda VFR. It was very dirty when I picked it up and it needed a little cosmetic TLC, but I got it for a great price and I love working on it. It runs great. As the pictures show, it's in pretty good shape. It just has some cracked plastic on the left side that I cleverly hid by only taking pictures on the right side of the bike. Sneaky, huh?

Here's my own '94 Honda VFR.

Here is my '94 VFR that I named "The Edge". Like all vehicles we own, it has a vanity plate. It reads "Edge".

Here's the Edge with Stella.

It's funny how life can take a turn when you least expect it. Just when I was getting ready to enjoy my first big riding season on my VFR, I was presented with an opportunity to purchase a 1957 Nash Metropolitan, a car I have wanted to own for a long time. The only way to get the car was to sell the bike. So, that's what I did. I was sad to see it go, but my '57 Met makes me happy wherever I go. Ironically, my Metropolitan has exactly twice the displacement of the VFR and exactly half the horsepower. It's just a different kind of fun. Here are some pictures of my VFR just before I sold it.

You can really see the cosmetic improvements I made since the pictures above were taken.

I polished the factory pipe. It gives it a nice aftermarket look without the elevated noise level.

I did a lot of work to bring back the luster of the plastics. I think the bike was really starting to come together.

Here are some of my favorite bikes.

This is the 1994 - 1997 Honda VFR, considered to be one of the best all-around motorcycles of all time (and I'm not just saying that because I owned one). 1994 Honda VFR

I'm really fond of the yellow on the 2000 Honda VFR

The new generation VFR is nice too. It's so hard to choose... 2002 Honda VFR

This is a Honda concept bike called the "New American Sports". Now, if they would just make it. Honda New American Sports

This was the most technologically advanced motorcycle of its time in 1990. The Honda NR750.

This is what my wife, Amy, likes. And frankly, I do too, when it comes in the classic trim with the leather covered saddle bags. HD Road King and Classic
