I thought it was an exaggeration

Post by Virt »

But no. I now understand the terrors of eBay. Casually browsing and I can already see the money that will be spent on them in the future. my watch list has increased four-fold. Help. I'm not even riding yet :/

Already own them Kev. :wink: get lonely and my wrists sometimes ache. Spicing up the uhh.. 'sex' life

I've already ran through with finances. I can easily spend an extra £100 or so on the vtr with plenty to spare. Not a good sign. I just have to wait until my 19th birthday before I ride it though :(

I would suggest you ride it for a while first and then decide what you want to do first .
That just might save me time fitting them and save your money .

I still have many items in my watch list that I sill want to do and will one day

I did that this morning :wink: :lol:

I wanna change the tail because the current one is mahoosive and the indicators are like the size of my fist... I found one that's basically the same as the Hornets', which I quite like, and that will be done quickly. Just Aesthetic really, and it comes with an undertray too...

And the braided lines I got with the purchase of the storm. Most of it is aesthetics, otherwise I will be in trouble when it comes to insurance.

He's 21 :lol:

And I know. They're only allowed to ride it right now (although my brother can't touch it, under penalty of murder. Until I ride his vfr at least :p). Once I get my insurance for it in November, no one in my family except me is allowed to touch it :) That way if it breaks, I can blame myself for it. And I want to learn some basic mechanical skills for it too, at the very least :lol:
