Hi All, I just found the forum again whilst Googling VTR stuff. It's been a long time! In the mean time I'm working with a team, building electric super bikes. (don't boo and hiss) The brand is Sarolea and the bike is the Manx7, we've been racing at the TT to develop the bike too. Anyway, that aside...

The last pillion I took was about 1.50m tall. The perfect pillon !

I swear the bike went quicker with her on the back though. when we both leaned forwards it was like some super-streamlined bodywork stuck on the bike

sweet, thanks.

I'll ring around the local places tomorrow and see what's available.
It's new lid time too anyway

Ok, I know some people think bike riding is the only time for peace and quiet from the dreaded mobile, but I've got a need for work.. I'm a photographer who's on the road a lot, lately on the bike a lot. I need to be able to answer calls during working hours. I've tried the Nokia standard wired jobb...

Bluesman in Belgium too?

(Gimme a buzz if you're passing Gent.)

Nice to see someone else on here who lives in this dot of a country.

They've saved me their cost 2x now.

oh, very nice. Thanks a million for that. They looks pretty swish.
Looking forward to getting them fitted.

I just ordered a set of these.. After trying to catch the bike on my ankle yesterday and popping the right front lens off. Again....

How much you want for those new exhausts then?

"was a good idea at the time"

I'd like to see Jezza do that on TV, whilst slagging off the cup holders and sloppy drive train of the latest 100k sled.

if you can remove the Runoutofgrunt restrictor or maybe reduce road and air friction to zero. I dare say you could get a Firestorm to top warp 9, (given a long enough bit of road)

Brakes might need upgrading a tad tho.

Well, almost... Just got her back from a full service. A local place, non-franchised. Flippin 'eck Tucker ! it's like riding a new bike! 8O I've been to the main dealer up till now, assuming of course... Assuming they were doing a proper job. The bike came from them and always seemed the to be same ...

got two tubes here, winter and summer one.
No end of neck probs before, mucho better now.
