How "pure" does a VTR have to be in order to be in their site?
If a VTR had non-standard parts, is that ok? And how many non-standard parts?
Is Alastair's Yammie dragster ok (it has a Storm chain guard).

I think they've dug themselves a big hole.

Mac, have you banned Phil from your workshop day yet, in case he's offended by motorcycles that aren't VTR's? He'd hate to miss a chance to put up a post about your bacon sandwiches.
I think non std parts are ok Tony, some fekwit complained to the mods about someone in particular posting about non Storm stuff. Mainly stuff about his ex BSS CBR track bike. Some proper bike porn. Of course the question always got asked will this fit my Storm. Shows the level of intelligence that they cant even see it's not a Storm.

In his defence Phil said he was against the new rule but got out voted by the other mods.

Has anyone got a picture of a snorkel in front of a Storm we can post ?

BREAKING NEWS !

U TURN...

''Hi troops! So after a bit of thinking, and some transatlantic telephone time spent with my much valued mate Phil Treadgold we are reversing course on the issue of VTR related content.
We reckon everyone should be able to share their day to day motorcycling experiences, purchases of new bikes, new projects started, etc with a community that they obviously care about, and who cares about them.
We hope this makes the page a happier place, and a place where folks want to come and hangout, chew the fat, and have their lives appreciated. So there you have it.
If anyone has an issue with any content posted, feel free to report it, but do so on the page reporting system already in place.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to chime in on this issue!
V2 on kids!''

You'd be able to if you were a mod...
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
