I rode it for the first time in ages.
Come to the conclusion I have to fit normal bars. Im getting old.
I can ride our Bandit 1200 all day pain free. Hour on the VTR kills me.
Love it to much to sell it so have to make it work.

A couple of pics (avoiding the bins) of my new Transalp beastie after this morning's thunderstorm. Shot around Colchester - Garrison Church, a Victorian wooden colonial style building now owned by the Russian Orthodox Church. And at Bourne Mill built in 1591.
Cleaned out the crappy chain lube tar accumulated around the gearbox sprocket and rear wheel (like bike knb cheese), replaced missing bodywork panel screws, fitted SS brake plug pins. Still to do fit MOSFET R/R and Eager Beaver accessory fuse kit.

The MCTC just a stone's throw away from me! Apparently nice pig farm there and we've played MCTC at cricket and borrowed a few. And many moons ago met an ex-inmate when hitchhiking - his sentence was for his entrepreneurship when serving in Germany setting up an unofficicial Land Rover spares business
