but never mind. i only have nine more to go

what do you mean 'I'm cheating'?

not being able to buy macv2's workshop manual as i dont have enough posts yet

i'd be interested to know what it is too.

you guys are very convincing. i just put an offer on a red one and i'm picking it up week saturday. well maintained, cct's done. all i need are bar risers.

goodness no, not a mille! a former colleague had one and was forever having to tinker with it! i'm raising this on here because you guys ride your bikes often, so would you class your vtr as a 'fire on the button' machine?

i know this one has been discussed to death but i'd like some specific advice relating to my needs. i get the impression that the vtr is an enthusiasts bike, meaning that they need a little fettling quite often. i'm currently working on two resto projects, and another two lined up so i really dont h...
