VTR1000.ORG

So tomorrow I will take delivery of a very poor unloved parked up for 10 years rusty VTR... It will be the 14th one I've had since 1996... ( Edit...WTF '96 ??? I mean 2006... I mean technicaly it is true I have had 14 in total since '96 but got my first one in 2006... I wish it was the drugs talking but I haven't had any...)

It makes it No.9 currently... From the pictures it looks a sorry rusty heap but @£300 + £137 delivery from Angelsy I see a proffit looming...

I may already have some bits pre dibbed but I will be posting in the normal sales page when I get it sorted & see whats salvageable...

N+1 Pah!

Well done that man.

Billy bargain I reckon

I used Shiply to get a quote for shipping... Angelsy to Kent... £137... The first quote I got was £301 tho... I think the company I used their first quote was over £200 but with a bit of haggling...

Shame it's yella...

Or this one...

So Rusty the Storm has been deliverd...

I may have just aquired a £437 boat anchor...

Bjeebus it's proper minging...

So the story is the guy bought it off ebay some 10 + years ago but as only 5' 2'' he decided it was too big & never really rode it, parked it up under a builders bag & left it to rot basicaly... He decide he needed to get something positive done as was feeling a bit low what with lockdown & what not so stuck it on FB for £400... I contaced him & said if no one bags it i'll give you £300 fot it... He came back quite quickly saying yes you can have it for that... He has since been back in touch & found some other bits, cover the postage & they are yours...
Deff needs a new front tyre...& you cant see the moss in this pic
Rather bizarrely the guy who I bought it off didnt send the key with it, he's posting that onto me, which of course has not arrived today...

It's a good job I have a new can of Plus gas on the shelf...

Unfortunatly a previous owner has used cheap sh1t light ally Probolt bolts on the fairing & mud guard... These seize & round off really easily...Damm
So last taxed nearly 11 years ago...

Wish me luck...please wish me luck...

There are some other bits that came with it as well, which is nice...

I think they call that "comes with a nice patina"

Shoud have come with a few ltrs of petrol & a bloody match !

Ha, you love it really.
In all fairness, I think you have a job on there, but again you the man for it and if any one can make some of it I am sure it will be you.
Best if luck

Just spray it matt black - all over - and put it back up for £800.

Job done!!

Feck me Macster you got a few weeks in the cave sorting that old girl out. But with Franks help I’m sure you will save it/ make a profit with it.
