Yup.
It's sitting on my kitchen bench at home. I told the West Islanders not to send it, as I didn't think I could handle organising a 'meet up', but they ignored me and sent it anyway.

What would be kewl (but I dunno if I can organise this either) is to get as many pix as possible of it in iconic Kiwi settings - e.g., thermal area in Rotorua, top of the hill in Coromandel, somewhere in D'Auckland, in front of some signposts (like "wiggly roads next 23,457km") etc etc. (I had lots of great ideas in bed last night, but I've forgotten 'em now).

The West Island VFR crew did a great job:
The Flaf Downunder (http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=30798&hl=flaf)
The Flaf in Seeedneee (http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=31039&hl=flaf)
The Flaf in Melbourne (http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=29849&hl=flaf)

Sounds like a great day's ride...

The Eagle has landed!

Well.. actually, it's only the Flaf (http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=30828&hl=flaf&st=0).

But I need as many KiwiBikers as possible, who own/ride a Honda VFR, RVF, VF or related bike (Magna, Sabre, etc.) to sign it while it's here.

So... we need to meet up somewhere(s) and put some ink on it.

count me in mate...taupo meet maybe? if you need someone to get it around the southern north island, then i can probably help out....

long live the FLAF!:Punk: :rockon:

Is this alleged wind farm WorldFamousInNewZealand?

Right.
How to proceed...
I guess I need a list of owner/rider names and locations to start with.

BTW - those Murkns will be SO jealous when they see all those 400s.:scooter:

I wasn't being sarcastic!
Every time someone posts a picture of a nice VFR400 or RVF400, the Murkns get all sad, because they're very difficult to get hold of, except by buying one that's already been licensed as a "grey import".
Try it for yourself - sign up at VFRd, and post a picture of your 400!
To rub slat in the wound, be sure to mention how great it handles, how nice it sounds, and what a great track-day tool it is (mentioning of course how you rode around some much more powerful bike in the corners...)

BTW - I didn't always have the RC46 (only about 2.5 years now). I started on a CB175, worked my way up (via some other Hondas) to a VF500, then a VFR750 (RC36), a VTR1000, then the VFR800/RC46 .
