eagleeye Posted October 4, 2007 Share #1 Posted October 4, 2007 Well, I've got a new ride, and I am pumped, but the 86 VR will get listed in the classifieds when it's a done deal. I don't have it home yet, so am a bit apprehensive. The 86 is a beauty and will make someone a great ride. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

utadventure Posted October 4, 2007 Share #11 Posted October 4, 2007 I friend of mine has the same bike here and loves it. He leads a number of the local rides we take and challenges the Goldwings to keep up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagleeye Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share #12 Posted October 4, 2007 Hey JT, Your right, It's a beauty, but at my age I gotta do what I gotta do. and I can''t keep them all around, maybe you should add it to your collection. I was going to get a 97, and then I would have kept the VR, But I fell in love (again) it's a GREAT bike!!!!!!! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redneck Posted October 4, 2007 Share #15 Posted October 4, 2007 Thanks Mike, I've never really understood this dark side thing though. When I sell my 86VR, someone will get a great bike, I'll tell you that. SteveAw the dark side let me see if I can explain it. Among us are a group of members who are stuck in ancient times and are afraid of progress. They have brain washed themselves into thinking there has not been a motorcycle built since disco music was in style. Many of them are still using stone tablets for corespondents these members are first genners. When some people of high intelligence and good taste (second gen owners) began telling them about the modern technology available in todays highly engineered lightning fast very stylish motorcycles they began calling modern motorcycles the dark side. In my opinion this is a jealousy thing because we all know every body wants a second gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eagleeye Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share #17 Posted October 4, 2007 Hey Hipshot, When I rode up to look at the 2005 RSTD, on my 86VR, I asked myself, what in the hell am I doing? this is a great bike. and when he was riding my bike in front of me, I'm looking at my bike saying, man that's a great looking bike, BUT,------I gotta do what I gotta do.

eagleeye Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share #23 Posted October 4, 2007 Like all technology, the more you live with it, the more you can't live without it. This VR is the only bike that I've owned with a radio and such, and I've owned a bunch. The funny thing is that the gear indicator is what I missed.
