Custom Seat

[the Ferret]

Hey, gcarper, how are you? Haven't seen you around for a bit.

I'm good, been fooling around with another bike. Sold my FZ1 and bought a VFR 800a. Certainly not as quick as the FZ, but a superb mountain road bike. Also has good seating for wife [ even better than the CB ] so that's a plus. Still enjoying the CB, nothing quite like it, in fact Eddie [ seat maker ] pumped me about the CB and purchased his after I told him how much I liked it.

My son is starting to get the hots for another bike. He's had his Gen 1 FZ-1 for 8 years now. He thought about an FZ 09 until he rode one. Now he's lazer focused on the new VFR 800. So..good bike eh?

In my opinion a new iteration in a line of the best sport tourers ever made. 1986 to now a beautiful motorcycle. Don't know about the VFR1200. Different beast really, more akin to the big Beemers, or the FJR. If it's a sport tourer your son is after then he couldn't buy a better bike. And you keep off it Dad.

Cheers

(my bold in the quote)

yea right. I will ride it the day he brings it home. He will insist!

When I bought my 13 CB 1100 he went with me, and half way home I stopped so he could ride it the rest of the way home. We have that kind of relationship.
