With all this lovely feedback it makes me feel as if I should start buying VTR's and breaking them for spares just to sell.
It's funny, even though I no longer have the bike, I miss you fellas on this forum and still miss the VTR. They do have a lot of character and this forum has a lot of characters.
Maybe one day I'll pick another one up - a bike, not a fella. That was just a one off, honest.
