First ride on a VTR 1000 Firestorm !
Today folks I have had my first ride on the VTR and my first 1000cc bike, impressed with the pulling power and surprisingly decent riding position, I was a bit worried about that !, I managed to get a standard seat of ebay for £25 , and still have the other Tony Archer one , ( missus says not to get rid of it coz she reckons the standard might be a bit hard , wouldn't of thought that would be a problem with her butt ),, But overall very happy, bit more work to do this week and then i'll be done for this season... Big strip down in the winter though ... Looks like I could have a nice relationship with the big twins ...

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience!

Funny, mostly women will always go for the harder one.
Glad you enjoyed, now all you gotta do is open the throttle all the way.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.

I think the reg plate on the silver car in the background says 'CCT', think it's a message to change your cam chain tensioners?
