Are you right or left hand dominate?

Congrats on the progression in skills looks like a great time out at the track!

 

Big weekend for me. Picked up this little CRF50 for my daughter. It's a runner but needs some little tweaking before her birthday.

I'll unfortunately end up pink-ifying the whole bike, but will keep it clean and simple. It just looks so good matching the rest of the stable lol

 

I am right hand dominant.

Thank you! Definitely a great time, let out the loudest yell when it happened out of excitement haha. looking forward to more track time and more progression.

 

Sounds like you had an absolute blast! Happy for you, man.

 

Easily one of the best bang for the buck moto buys I've ever made. for anyone looking watch HF for new as well, I got mine from the store for less than $300 on one of there weekend blowouts. This was probably 7 years ago? I think there's been a bike on almost constantly since. Although like you, it's carried sno blowers, zero turn decks, and even clean laundry. Game changer for wrenching. Congrats on the find.

Goodness. What a great machine. Not sure I could find anodized purple so appealing, but here it's perfect!

 

5k for a FJR with 36k miles seems pretty good!

 

I really did man, thanks! I know track isn't for everyone but man it gets the blood pumping for me

 

Funny how things change as we grow up. Scraped knee as a child, crying and need a band-aid. Scraped knee as an adult and losing your shit with excitement.

Personally the track has very little appeal to me as I'm just a leisure rider, but I can appreciate the love of it all the same.

 

even funnier when you think that as a child we could handle whatever went wrong infinitely better than we could now...lol

Hey nothing wrong with it, lots of track riders would still call me a leisure rider as well lol. As long as you're riding safe and happy doing so, that's what matters.

 

Convenient timing.. the lift is on sale right now. C'mon bike, you need to sellllll.

 

If I had a garage I'd pounce on that.

 

You don't find them for that anymore, they've definitely gone up in price. I ditched the front wheel clamp and put on one of their wheel chocks that flips forward to hold the front wheel when you roll it in. Had to drill a couple of new holes in the base but it's proven easier to load on my own.

 

Clicked on it and it shows sold. I just wonder if the owner had sold the bags separately or if it might have been some sort of scam as that price would be really low for a 2015.

 

There's still deals to be had, people don't look up similar bikes prices. This is a great example of a fairly clean vfr800, with a few miles, but overall great shape, for well under what I'd consider average value.

 

@Calamity_taco there's your bike. Just head to WA and pick it up. Or fly and ride.

 

I saw that on marketplace but I don’t have a Facebook account anymore so all I can do is look.
1st year of VTEC and cam chains.

 

Haha waaay to far!

 

After a lot longer install then I wanted... I got the jns engineering headlight on the bike! Had an issue with the drl light easy plug... The connectors it came were wrong so I cut them and spliced em oh well it works. Then had to spend awhile bending ge light bar bracket and cutting the fender so it would fit and finnnally got it all set! And then accidentally knocked the light bar wire loose fuuuuuuuu! So I'll have to take the light off tomorrow and fix it... Also yes I know the white plastic looks really odd but I've been talking with skda for a custom headlight shroud and this is the first render. I asked for it to have more green this time and as well put the Kx off to the left side and make it slightly titled so hopefully when it's all said and done it will look epic!

 

Idk I kinda like the all white shroud it pops nicely. But the decal goes great with the rest of the graphics. So either/or really
