VTR1000.ORG

Hi All, I've been registered on the forums for a year now and even though chipping in on a few threads I never got round to saying Hello
I read far more than I say and have gathered a great deal of info ( and laughs ) from you all and have a long list of mods to do. I'v got a fairly standard 2000 F-X in BLUE ( by far the best colour)
A set of Krieger tensioners are in the post as I type and a sub loom is waiting at the post office, just need to order some stick coils.

I do have some questions that I'll post in the appropriate areas in future.
I'm up near wet and windy Manchester on the edge of the Pennines and very handy for the twisty's. Hopefully get to met up for some ride-outs/meets next year although I will point out I'm unashamedly a fair weather rider ( bikes are a hobby and I hate getting wet n' cold ) and fat and slow too boot

Cheers Ian.

Oh well, you should fit right in with the rest of the fat slow buggers on here then

hello and welcome better late than never

hello and welcome ian, always good to hear from newish members
i've just bought 4 coils and a subloom(cbr600) and i should have two going spare if your interested mate, i'll be selling them pretty cheaply, send me a p.m if your interested, oh and your right blue is by far the best colour......the sky/ the sea/ the best movies are all blue....

Welcome aboard Ian

Chris.

Don't forget bears.

Bear necessities, those simple bear necessities of life.

And there was me thinking of marty's favourite boy band. Or children's TV show unless it's an adult blue peter

Thanks for the welcomes everyone, nice to be on a friendly forum.

No really I am Fat, no need for photo proof.

I'll have to get some taken as I don't have any yet. that said it is standard and i'm sure you've all seen a plain vanilla VTR before! ( that'll be a yellow one then )

Oh dear, a yellow one, you poor soul. We are setting up a therapy area on the forum to allow those afflicted with this sad complaint to receive help and advice.
We are hoping that after a few sessions of therapy owners of yellow VTR's may be able to be returned to the wild.
Oh and welcome along mate, from another salad dodger!!

So, do clinically obese persons only buy firestorms, as they are the only bikes to 'haul' all that.......excess baggage??? 6 ft 1 " and 14 .5 stone, I have an obese Bmi !!!!!

Sorry Kev, you've misunderstood my dodgy prose it was in reply to AMCQ46's post, knowing he has a yellow ( vanilla ) one. mine's blue, thats blue lets have it right from the start NOT yellow, Never yellow, anything but yellow.
Thanks for the welcome mate.

add another 7 stone to that mate and you should see my bmi reading it says should be dead by now.......

In that case you are warmly welcome my old china. And may I congatulate you on a very wise selection of motorcycle.
