box drivers are just twats always to busy on the phone or listening to music to notice whats happening around them,,,& my car bike interface wasnt to sore, unfortunatly the bike bore the brunt, i just did a nice forward roll clean over it back onto the road.
(i think i could be stunt man material) or mabee im just lucky!!

rodger is the vtr man

his work is not to cheap.. but if you look though some other posts & on any other vtr site he is the guy for tuning & suspension.. price is around £199 for front end & £490 for back end & its then suspension sorted.
as to improve your brakes,have you tried tying your front lever down in the on position overnight & this helps...
