I'm in the Jonesing group, but I count that as lucky to have owned one.

I spanked a lot of younger riders on faster bikes with this.  Still rates as the most engaging motorbike I've ever owned. 

Great pick, Michael!

Congrats, Tomcat!

These bikes are just iconic now, a snapshot to when Honda absolutely ruled the engineering and innovation side of motorcycling (IMO).

Plus, I meet a LOT of former owners who are Jonesing hard that they ever sold theirs, so I like to sprinkle them in to BOTM from time to time.

I like the picture also, no glory shot, just a clean white stucco wall with a door in the background. The bike stands out on its own. Simple, pleasing.

Congratulations tomcat2626, your 85 Vf1000R is June 2023's BOTM.

If you have gotten this far and read the discussion about a mythical VF1100R LE, and have any knowledge of such a thing (Attn: Raymond.......:+) please post something on the Main discussion thread.

What about Oring kits?

From my experience FD's are pretty flexible.  I don't think the polygraph will present a problem.

All the best with his endeavors.

Still sad the Outback is no more.  :(

Alex passed the physical fitness test today, 2nd try. Next up is a personal interview which includes a polygraph. He was a bad boy in his teens and early 20s. The past couple of years he found Jesus and quit everything fun.

Aw heck, I still been telling people on Facebook to get in touch with you..... LOL...
I hate that you are not doing it anymore, but I can sure understand, and as Norman said, thanks for all you have done down through the years.... I wish I had rode with Fred to your place and got my carbs done too :) They are not real bad, but after sitting I always have to crank and crank to start her, after that she starts fine til she sits a while....
She needed Billys magic...
