10/19/08....The NEW BIKE comes home




On October 19, 2008, I purchased my 1994 Honda VFR750F-R and brought it home. It had 10,800 original miles, but had a few minor issues. The previous owner said he purchased it without plastic and claimed he replaced it with used pieces. It looked OK, but had a pretty shabby rattlecan red paint job. Wrong color. I enjoy a project. A few discoveries were yet to come about the history of the bike, but nothing that would affect the enjoyment of it. It needed paint, tires, a saddle(maybe only a cover), passenger grips, and a new LR turn signal unit (perhaps just a repair). But that being said, it was a road-ready bike and would be ridden until winter weather brought it to a halt. Then the project would begin in earnest, with the intent of completing it quickly in order to possibly ride again during the winter warm spells that seem to always occur here in Colorado and be ready for spring.
