A year ago I sold Project 12, aka The Blues Project, to a local buyer. After a full season of trouble-free enjoyment Sean's priorities have shifted so he asked if I'd like the bike back in the shop. In that same week that he decided to part ways with his '87 VFR700, he took a spill right in his own neighborhood and managed to scuff up the right side pretty thoroughly. Of course, I had to take her back.
The damage starts with the mid-fairing and extends to the front fender, headlight cowl, Yosh slip-on and engine clutch cover. The headlight cowl mount is also tweaked. Where to go from here? I'm thinking of a change to Pearl White while leaving the grey wheels in place. I should be able to massage the aluminum Yosh pipe back into shape and repair/repaint the clutch cover.

At a restored gas station building in Spring Green, WI Yesterday I took advantage of an Indian Summer day here in the upper Midwest and enjoyed a day of corner strafing in the Wisconsin hill country aboard this bike. These roads are made for VFR fun and I had the perfect day. With the Yosh pipe, a K&N air filter and jetted carbs this thing really earns the Interceptor title when the tach gets into the upper reaches. Great ride.
