Auckland VFR owners?

[Big Dave]

Just confirmed a new VFR1200 KR test bike for next week.

Would like to do some old V new shots for the mag.

Thinking about an dusk-ish photo shoot somewhere in town.

Any players?

[Neon]

Yep :yes:

or do you only want late model VFRs?

[FROSTY]

how old dya want viffer wise?--mines a 91

[Big Dave]

Any VFR welcome.

Have already done a test on a '10 model so the new one would work well with a history/riders perspective.

Look for the mid next week - will check the weather closer before nominating a time.

[cheshirecat]

can you do one down here for us welly vfr's - it's not too windy or cold or even mildly damp . . .

[Big Dave]

Won't have the time - but If you can get a few together and take a snap I'd be interested in running it.

[vifferman]

I know someone with a VFR, who's also owned a couple of others.:shifty:

[Mully]

Is there a reason you want to photograph the new one at dusk?

And is it cos looking at the new one in broad daylight runs the risk of turning whoever looks at it to stone??

Looks like an Italian bike. :blink:

Cool, What are your deadlines etc

M

[Big Dave]

We have a few weeks deadline-wise for Wellywoods.

Test bike not so long.
Looking at the Akl forecast it's on Wednesday, meet under the big boat, Viaduct Harbour at 7.30pm.

That exhaust .... :sick:

[imdying]

That exhaust .... :sick:How would you economically build a streamlined catalytic convertor/muffler with plenty of ground clearance? Surely the triangluar shape is the most logical? Some of the exhaust touches are nice... have a look through the right hand side fairing vents, nicely placed to show off the header pipes. Development doesn't stop for Luddites.

[Mully]

That exhaust .... :sick:

The exhaust doesn't bother me much - simply because it's a easy change.

That front end is what gets me. I'm sure it's a very capable bike, and the rider doesn't have to look at it, but Ye Gods.

I'm sure I'd get sick of being asked to park round the back of the pub.

It was all over the TV screen last night, new Honda add, Aaron Slightlygoharder was used in the promotion.

[Big Dave]

Bumpity bumbpt.

[2wheeldrifter]

Who's going to bring the cheese!? Honda riders's I guess?

Photo's on its left side looks very sleek and clean. That is big muffler... think that it been chrome stands out more, if it was brushed alloy etc it may blend in with the bike and not look so big?. It catchs your eye every time :yes:

Have you noticed during that ad, at the end ol' Slighty's going "....and get one on one training, from me..." and the caption comes up in two stages.


Aaron Slight, World Superbike star

For a limited time

Fucking gold.

[imdying]

"....and get one on one training, from me..."

What was that about?

[White trash]

What was that about?

On the VFR1200 ad currently playing on the box.

[imdying]

Don't watch TV man... is it a competition linked to the VFR1200? Or is he open for hire? I asked the HRC guys about it, but never heard back. Bit shit there training day with him was cancelled, don't think I'll bother renewing my membership... I mean what does it offer??

You lucky prick.

Nope, you buy a new VFR1200 and you get Aaron Slight tell you how to ride the thing.

[imdying]

You lucky prick.What, being a HRC member? Nah bro, comes with the bike!


Nope, you buy a new VFR1200 and you get Aaron Slight tell you how to ride the thing.But not with a blade? WTF?

How do I contact him? Presumably he must have a typical price for teaching 2 or 3 noobs for a morning?

I think Finn's pretty tight with him. Ask Sensei...

No you twit, you couldn't pay me to own a Honda, for not watching TV!

[onearmedbandit]

No you twit, you couldn't pay me to own a Honda, for not watching TV!

Yet you own, what, two now? That's even gheyer than imdying's 'one'. Next you'll be telling us you're restoring a Honda...

[imdying]

No you twit, you couldn't pay me to own a Honda, for not watching TV!Soooo, you're putting love, care and of course money, into restoring a Suzuki MVX250 then right? :laugh:

/edit: When and where has this ad been on? I could get the PS3 to record a few hours of tele if it's on at a regularish time.

Fuck up.

Don't bother, it's not a particularly good ad. Just a boring VFR1200 riding along and then a dude wearing Castrol Honda leathers sitting one one stationary telling you about how he'll train ya.

[imdying]

Well I don't need a VFR1200, but I could really do with some track training... :scooter:

The only people who need a VFR1200 are Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder and Helen Keller......
