hey everybody, my name is Marlin hence the BadFish username.

i recently purchased a 2004 honda vtr1000 for 3800 with 18700 miles.
here is my bike

Attachment 15694


In the last two or weeks since I picked her up I've put on a 1200 miles. decided it was time to get familiar with the mechanics of the bike and the others that ride and work on them.
My Hawk has a small crack in the rear fairing and the rear fender was hacked apart so the werkes fender eliminator is a necessity.
the bike needs a little love but she looks and rides well

So a little about me.

I'm an avid longboarder i have 5 in my arsenal one is broken... woops

Welcome! You will find almost everything there is to know about the SH here...and If you cant find it I'm sure Tweety will help you look ;). I haven't been on here long but I have found nothing but support! Best of luck on the repairs and have fun with the new bike.

Nice shots! I like that last one!

Check up on those CCT's and R/R ;)

BadFish667 06-30-2013 01:59 PM

thanks for the welcome!
I'm excited to learn about this bike I really didn't think it would be as fun as the bike has been. I'm a believer now. The bike gets more attention then my 78 Studebaker Avanti II

Squid told me to check those out I'm going to try and get them before the up coming four day weekend and get the cct switched out.

Hey man welcome! I've worked on Whidbey. We had to ferry in/out daily

-Squid

no it was just south east of Mt.Vernon right near a Market by hwy 5

it was on a side road we found on the detour around the bridge collapse.

Oh shit lol. Squid, is this the same superhawk we were talking about the other week? Looks like we have another riding buddy! Welcome BadFish.

BadFish667 06-30-2013 02:39 PM

thanks, I'm guessing it was my bike that was being discussed .

I looked out my window and a man (Squid) with a super hawk and a pickup truck were looking at my bike...

Needless to say I freaked out for a second and jumped out of bed to head down and investigate. haha

Welcome! First pic is a good one. As you've discovered the VTR fun factor is an 11!

Mrredline05 06-30-2013 04:17 PM

yea he likes his superhawks lol. We all need to get together and go riding. I need to fix my speedo tho.

captainchaos 06-30-2013 04:55 PM

Welcome aboard! Bet those TBR's sound the business. And thank you (and everyone else on here) for your service.

BadFish667 07-01-2013 10:35 AM

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome, I'll continue posting pictures of progress when I can. Next thing is just the run of the mill oil change, airfilters, tires, cct and tuning the carbs.
