Firefly


I want to introduce Firefly, my bike. She has performed brilliantly and become a great friend on this trip. When we are out on the road, man and machine become one. An absolute pleasure to ride, she has taken me through an incredible amount of beauty as we've crossed the continent. I know her name because she told me as we were riding across Montana. The odometer had just turned over 22,000 miles and I congratulated her and asked what her name was. A couple of miles down the road, Firefly popped into my head out of nowhere. Wierd, but true.

I am a design enthusiast and this VFR 750 has set my standard for a well engineered machine. It has acheived a perfect balance between power and handling. It is very reliable and the styling is classic. Honda got everything right when they created her.

Matt: I'm an old friend of your dad and I had to write and tell you what a deep, intellectual writer you are. You've grown into a wonderful man, just like your dad. The trip sounds like so much fun. I'm glad your dad shared your blog site with me.
