Hello All,

This 40 year old but going on 20 has just bought a late 97 VTR......and loves it !!.
It is not standard, but has been tweaked and tuned by its previous owner, but still remains oh so rideable.

At this rate I may even start going to Disco's again !!.

Welcome onboard Mr Kiwi_VTR

They say life begins at 40, i'll confirm that when I get there! Not long now.

You'll find this forum really useful if you have any problems or advice etc,

Why Kiwi_VTR? Surely we emigrate to NZ not the other way around....

Cheers

Disco??? Thats going back a bit. Do your legs not get bruised from your flairs flapping around at speed?[/quote]

Maybe he's going for the sequined hot pant look with the big afro wig....

I think a big afro wig would look cool. You get all these stupid stick on ears and horns for your helmet nowadays, why not big stick-on afro wig. I might be tempted by one of them.

(i know that means confused but it looked a bit like curly hair to me)

Got 165MPH out of my storm yeterday, it was GOOOOD but man! the midges! fraid of getting arrested for Genocyde! Imagine if I'd been wearing an afro wig!

Well I am a Kiwi living in the UK (Dont ask, it envolves a sordid tale of speed), and so kiwi_vtr seems okay.
The only problem with flairs is that they get caught in chains and as they dont make a "shaft drive" VTR, I will have to sacrfice the flairs.
Who needs a crash helmet when sporting an afro !!!!!

There you go, your answer is Hot pants and an afro!

Should we address the question of platform soled shoes fouling on the footpegs? Riders in the 70's must have been a hardy lot.

Platforms are the only kind of footwear you need, they do away with sliders, mushrooms and footpegs !!!............Lycra anyone, spandex maybe ??
