    In this episode I get side tracked by a beautiful Honda VFR800 motorbike, fix her many ills, and then compare her to her less refined bigger brother, the VTR1000 AKA Dollerstore Ducati. Both bikes are rad, and it's so cool to have two Honda's side by side in front of my shop.

    I have both Bluetti units and find the smaller one perfect as a UPS for my fridge while traveling. I can stop and shop and not worry about the fridge temperature. On the plus side, the smaller one has an app so you can monitor the usage while driving. Once on a trip I checked the app and saw the unit went onto overload and stopped working. Had I not had the app running on the phone I would have not seen my fridge warming up. (Actually I would as my Bougerv fridge has an app I monitor as well while driving) but you get the picture.

    UK spec VFR with an after market exhaust is famously the sexiest sounding thing on the road..

    I like your bike shows. Don't buy that bike, though. The owner is screwing you. He made a deal at one price for something he was willing to basically throw away and, when you got it working, he changed it up by doubling the price. Take your stuff off, put his stuff back on, and give him back his bike. I can't stand people who go back on their word.

    Had the same VFR a few years ago. Didn't keep it very long, the throttle response was really bad at low speeds in my opinion. At the same time I had a 1988 VFR. I would go for the old one anytime, although VTEC is fun! I always loved V-twins, love the VTR for the roughness of the engine!!

    I appreciate bike videos! Ya that VFR is probably worth 4 to 5 grand but I wouldn't give more then 2,500(US) just because there's so many other bikes out there that are a deal.

    Time to return the bike in the condition it was in or with a bill for the labor and any parts/fluids.
