Well it's home, my first VTR in 9 years, and I couldn't be happier, forgotten what a joy they are, even after 120 mile return journey i feel fresh and for once no pain from my nadgered wrist which has more metal than Steve Austin!
Pulls like the Flying Scotsman, lovely Remus Grand Prix Carbons. All i need to do now is wire up the heated grips and replace 1 tacho lamp.
Rode the last 20 miles with no earplugs pretending I was Colin Edwards

Nice one MD, did you do the C&F on the way home?
Re: Beenangonnandunnit

Re: Beenangonnandunnit
MD your post is making feel a bid broody (me not owning any sort of VTR at present). A few beers tonight and I'll be (secretly) trawling thro' ebay 
Especially since the ZZR has gone and got another bloody puncture - courtesy of me carving up pieces of exhaust pipe and not cleaning up properly. And the Velo decided to shed its front light sealed beam unit and throw it down the road at 80 mph.!
