Re: Another Hello

welcome along to the wrinkly club sir :clap: Damn! I forgot my Botox appointment :oops: Upgraded pics here.

Re: Kreiger, APE, Bazza and Ade Whitmarsh's CCT's

Any further developments over the past 12 months, or is Wicky's and Ade's posts still the recommended advice? (Just preparing myself for what appears an essential mod.)

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

Tried to 'learn' my new VTR today. (see Another Hello/Introductions). I've been riding for years, but these bikes are a whole new ball game - which I half expected. Those who also rides Blades or similar in-line fours will know what I mean. The VTR's lower revving engine is deceptive to the extent t...

Thanks. Don't want to sound like a smart-arse in my 2nd post, but the 'kettle' was a Suzuki. You're forgiven if you're not old enough to remember! :)

Another Hello

Hi there. I'm Nigel from West Midlands (near Worcester) UK. Just bought my first V-Twin today, a 1999 red 'F' series VTR Firestorm. Got a few miles on it, but has been really well maintained with heaps of service history and runs well, and quiet. No CCT issues! I used to bike ride (bicycle) 100 mile...
