VFR is a heavy lump tho, bullet proof and not a bad ride but not as good as a storm.
Ive always regretted getting rid of my old bikes, felt I could have mothballed and stored them in a shed.

a sentimental old fart am i

Getting the old girl fitted with a set of dunlop roadsmarts tomorrow, although it'll be a while before they get used.
So much id like to have done, nitron shocker, braided lines, full fairing, seems endless.

Hello GBM, did you get any brief encounters on hug a ginge day recently?

by the way bloody nice bike

Ant, lovely colour

Suzuki PE 175 magic little bike

Thanks, yes think I'll save a bit more and go for a nitron from Malc, unless a second hander comes up on ebay and its worth reconditioning.
does anyone have experience with hyperpro's?

Would you mind posting a few more pics of the infernal machine for us to slaver over please?
God forbid but I think the colour might be growing on me.

We had a thread on rear shocks not very long ago which may be helpful:- http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=40136 IMHO for road use, if you don't carry a pillion passenger then you don't really need a remote preload adjuster, Chris. I found a link in the thread for a very good de...

If anyone has one they would like to sell I'd be interested, followed a link to a hagon shock going for a good price but the code number checks out for the sp1.
