There are always old Honda Interceptor’s for sale around here. Those look like great bikes. From what I read though:
VF500s fall neatly into 2 catagories: good runners that have ALWAYS been well maintained, and heart-breaking MONEY PITS that sooner or later are junked.
Guess I will be a little more careful about what I pick up.

The bike rides very differently, smoother and more stable. The handlebar height and lowered pegs also feel much better to me. Here are some pics:
Here is a nice introduction to the inspiring parts of Racket and it’s culture (of Racketeers).
Here is a nice post about generic data types in Racket.
Last year I had a Signal Dynamics BackOFF Brake Light Signal Module installed.
Not much more to say than “it just works” and more importantly it has never let me down.
My riding is more around cars and highway traffic than other motorcycles, so it is more than worth its price.
Last year I bought a Gerbings heated coat liner and T5 gloves. They work great. I’m afraid to turn them past 50% because they get so hot and do it so quickly. This is a good thing, that is their job.
The only mistake I made was to keep the slightly-too-small liner. If you order one, take advantage of their generous exchange policy until you get the right fit.
Last year I picked up a nice used Givi trunk for the Conc. Installation was trivial.
Last year Murphs tip over bars got installed on my Conc. Contrary to popular belief, they only handles tip-overs.
The guys who installed it said it was relatively easy.
BTW: No that is not my bike cover in the grass, it is someone else’s.
Nice Emacs setup for playing with Elisp, make sure to enable Paredit in the REPL and disable paredit-newline:
Won’t call it art; will call it fun:
It is probably scarier in the dark.
