so nice to get back on the bike today. I will have to raise thew forks up through the yokes a bit, sort the can hangers as they look shite, but it goes so well. I need to alter the suspension, its rock hard. time to start tweaking.

Frank has a look for std rear footrest hangers today...

I double checked & all we could find is a single hanger r/h with no peg.

I seem to recall that whilst i did have a set I sold them earlier in the year.

So sorry I cant help you...

In Bideford, I never saw it and have never seen it on the road except for when BTT owned it last time.. Don't recognise the location in the picture either, It's not a big place so suprised not seen it about.

Betcha it's good to have her back.

The VTR has soul.

You can have all the gimmicks however the VTR delivers.

I had a series of bikes and don't regret ever having kept the VTR.

There are a few bikes in the CAVE but none stir the soul like the VTR.

Welcome back.
