after getting her, i have placed a new number on her WQJ8711... since then, i have showered her with much love via "more then usual" servicing, best oils available, a set of Ohlins suspension, a set of Honda Original panniers, Laser Exhaust, Power Commander, Paintshield Protection, 3M Headlamp protection, Gear shift indicator, heavier bar-end weights etc...
now, she enjoys her life more as we regularly goes for holidays, both locally and overland... that went on for 2 years till i felt that she was getting abit too sporty for my riding style... hence i looked at other options, ie BMW R1200GS.
But that didn't stop me from giving her the love she deserved, gave her a new coat of paint to refresh her now aging paintwork... the white theme was selected to cover her fine body...
with the new BMW, she was not neglected either, Jeffrey occasionally takes her out for a spin or two... and we had since went on tour a couple of times too. the two bikes met and i would say... a bond is in the air. one sporty while the other enduro... no clash in interest, only split in time spent..
1st April 2011, Jeffrey told me that he'll be meeting the buyer of my VFR in AmBank, i thought he was pulling an April Fool's joke on me.. but NO!! he was serious and the buyer made full settlement for her and was to meet at 1600hrs for a handover of cash & bike!! i was speechless... i had been planning to take her for a ride before something like this would happen, but i guess i had missed my chance for a final fling with her around the curves of Titi-Kong...
Loads of fond memories remain in my mind for our relationship... a 3.5 years of good times... i wish the new owner will treat you much better than i ever did.
take care and you will be dearly missed, my VFR800... xoxo
