Post by limpix »

40 something from the Netherlands, motorcycle mechanic, photographer and VTR1000 owner here.

Nothing fancy, just laser hotcam exhausts, a tinted screen, no rejetting done, works just fine.

Picked up working at the motorcycle shop since beginning 2010, decided to get me a VTR, just to get used a modern cycle again, previously ridden and built choppers and other slow stuff.
Still in the progress of building choppers, but i'll keep quite on that matter, no worries.

Shot me a ride the other day, gopro cam mounted on the lower fork leg,i like the result, but still need some more practice on this modern stuff :biggrin

Anyway, just a short ride;

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.

Welcome to the forum. Been a while since I went to Dutchie land. Last place I was at was Gouda but I've previously worked in Hillegom a few times. Lovely country and great for skiing. :lol:

Thanks
Benny; friendly people? Must be that legal green stuff the've been smoking all day, will make even the most sour a nice and happy man, or woman for hat matter..
Pinkyfloyd; Hillegom huh, you where in the middle of tulip-county...
But serious, it's okay over here, spend most days on the VTR down south, nice roads, curvy, up-and downhill with the possibilty to cross the border towards the Belgian Ardennes, lovely roads, but crowded with touristst..once you get trough them the reward in the form of Belgian fries is worth it..

I run a blog, mostly chopper orientated, will show that anyhow although there's not much VTR related stuff on there.

And my commercial website

Must take some seriuos pics of my VTR one of these days...

Cheers.

Welcome to the forum from the Netherlands Limpix :thumbup:

Thanks for posting the links. I really enjoyed having a look at your photography :D
I enjoy photography myself, but I'm no professional.

I AM a professional, but not in photography.
And I like looking at pictures, too.

My wife doesn't understand, though.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
