I had to put a new front tyre on the VFR today, after I lost the front end going around a bend recently. That's the first time it's happened (excluding that trip into the scenery on my 125), but didn't result in a spill. Replacement is another Pilot Road 3, mileage is now 48,800ish - let's see how long it lasts.  Old one barely lasted longer than the rear, but then that did manage at least 10K. Pilot Road 4 has been announced , not available until next year though.  In the meantime, have another pic of the new VFR800:

I started playing this last weekend, when the dreadful weather prevented me doing anything else. It's a space MMORPG and it's a quite a bit like that golden oldie  Elite , except it's massively complex. In fact it's almost overwhelming at first and I would have given up within a couple of days, but for the weather and the fact it's free for the 1st month. I'm still not sure if I like it, but I'm compelled to keep going.

Went to see Gravity in 3D - was absolutely blown away.  It's just incredible.

It's long overdue, but finally Honda are producing a new version of the VFR800.  Looks really good, unlike the hideous VFR1200.  Will it be sensibly priced though? Traction control, more midrange torque and 10KG less weight, apparently.
