I also have a VF500F. At 5-10/11, they are a tad tight after 8 hrs. I live my 750KFour with rear setbacks and true clip-ons. It is TOO comfy. My 1200 GoldWing? 3 hrs is enough on it.

Mine was a VFR750F. I could go 8+ hours and not even realize it. And I should have qualified my statement with "... the most comfortable bike I've ever ridden outside of two-wheeled couches in which I have no interest."

Based on the models you list, you would probably appreciate my first bike, a 650 Nighthawk, a V45 Sabre I rode for awhile, and a buddy's GPz750 and another's VF700F (pearl white just like my '93 was).

Guess I'm not going to the All Ford Show on Saturday. It's supposed to rain all damn weekend.

Speaking of rain....
Looks like I am going to wash the bike tonight since Mother nature pre-soaked it for me.

Actually, I started last evening. I made a fair amount of headway.

BEFORE


PROGRESS


THE TOOL


I won't be using the back blade to finish things out, as I'm completely inexperienced and am afraid I'd make things worse instead of better. Instead, I'll move the rest of this up the hill, then get the DR Power Grader back out to smooth things out and wait until my "pro" comes to do it up right (unless it turns out well with the DR, then I might just leave it be).

EDIT: Anyone know if there's any reason I couldn't/shouldn't empty one of my gas cans to haul diesel fuel? I want to return the tractor with a full tank (and actually might need some to keep going this evening).

Yep... just this morning. Didn't get it.

I actually turned my resume over to a professional yesterday. I've been told it's confusing the fact that I list the "same employer since 1995, but have two completely unrelated jobs listed for that employer". Fact is, it's true though. So, a friend of mine offered to fix it up for me. He's a pro resume guy, and I just found out a couple days ago. LOL.
