Thanks. I love that Cobalt Blue color too.
Have owned four Yamaha's in that same color.... those two FJR's, an FZ1 and a Warrior.
I'm a bit stubborn and believe my Yamaha's have to be blue (the FJR and Zuma are both blue), Honda's have to be red (the CB is red), Kawi's are green (my Ninja 400 was green) and Suzuki's I usually don't buy but will put a Yoshimura on a Suzuki and NO other bike.

I bought the 2002 cheap on Ebay after it sat neglected in someone's backyard for seven years. It required hours of elbow grease and paint to restore it, but mechanically it was in really good condition. The main reason I like the 1998 better is because of the gear-driven cams, and the NON V-TEC engine.
Any sharable images of these siblings?
Any sharable images of these siblings? Hi GoldOxide. Yes, but I don't know how to post them right now. Can they be attached to a private message to you?
I just remembered, I owned two Bridgestone DT175s back in the mid 70's. I picked these up used as a kid, both in desperate need of repair, and had a lot of fun restoring them. There was only one place in town that was able to order parts for them because Bridgestone had gone out of business. These were actually really nice, high-quality bikes, and I am so disappointed that Bridgestone stopped producing motorcycles.

Dave, photos in PMs are posted the same way as on the forum. Do you need some help?

I did reach out to Dave.
Maybe his attention was drawn away from the Forum.
How dare he?

Hi Cormanus and GoldOxide. Thank you for your support. I know that there is a post somewhere on this forum with all the instructions for posting, but it's been over 5 years since I have posted anything. I struggled getting my post to work then, and I have trouble remembering how to do something new on the computer the next day, so there is no way I would remember how to to it now. I just emailed some pictures to GoldOxide; hopefully he can post these for me.

Awesome images of Dave's VFR800s ...

The following procedure is for embedding images directly into the forum post so it will remain with the forum database as long as the database exists. Beware: Each image is limited to 250 kBs in size, which is not a lot for today's modern image files.
Quick Steps to adding an image file:
(1) <NEW REPLY>
(2) <New Attachment>
(3) <Choose File>
At this point browse to the file you wish to upload to the forum.
(4) <Add Attachment>
(5) <Insert Into Post>
Something like this will be added in the text box (but a real index number instead of xxxxxx):
[attachment=xxxxxx]
(6) Repeat (2) to (5) for each additional file, up to five files per posting.
(7) <Post Reply>

A bike I would like to buy again is a Yamaha Bulldog (BT1100)
I agree with the comment about the Bullfrog I'm often looking for that pristine example to replace my old one...alas I've never found "the one" yet!
Apologies for the poor quality pics they are copies of bad originals

Or maybe, the search is as much fun as the having! For me at least. But for most things I have quit the search for the Holy Grail.
On topic- I’ve never had the same bike twice.

There is truth in your scripture Popgun.
Ditto: Never had the same bike twice, ... yet.
