Hi,
just swelled the ranks of VTR owners....
Dropped out of biking when I retired (Couldn't really justify running one!!) but missed the bellow of 'V' (Had a Cagiva Raptor last) - a big 'V' goes droning past the house every so often, driven me mad.
Anyhooo, I've succumbed, bought myself a 1998 VTR 1000, in Red, belly pan & cowl, looks the dogs nadgers (To me, anyway!)
Little riding so far, ride home (90 wet, greasy, slippery miles) & a blast round the block after putting the RIGHT pressures in the tyres......
Aren't they great? Even with baffles in, the scorpions are 'interesting'

Re: New meat
Welcome, There's now't like a Red'un. Have a good look around the Forum which will tell you about the two items that will let you down( cct's & rr) if they haven't been done and then they're reliable. Put your location in your profile then any nearby members can help out if required, or just a meet up and chat.
Theres A Hare in The Turnips.

Re: New meat
Theres no such thing as an ex-biker, it sometimes just takes a little longer between one ride and the next

Re: New meat
Should have said, Doh!
I'm in Benllech, sunny (Today, anyway) ANGLESEY.
Spent the afternoon checking/adjusting - no horrors to report (Although the rear shock looks a bit past it....)
