New Owner
Hello from Gillingham, Kent. Have recently bought a VTR, 1998 model to replace my old CBR1000F. First impressions very good. The bike has had a few owners with each leaving their mark/mods on it. Not too sure about the after market bars at present, might fit a pair of originals later. Any way, pleasure to be here. Thanks.

Another local, welcome home.
Have a look at Mac's workshop day in a few weeks which is nice and local, bring yours along whether you need anything doing or not.

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