Re: Probably going to be VTR owner?
Well, I left classics behind near 5 yrs ago and don't regret it. The runs and meets were fun but it became the same old thing. Im 71 in march and hoping for another year's riding. The leccy start helps .

Re: Hi from Reading
I've got a pair made by a former board member, now with 14k on them. I couldnt detect any difference in sound quality even at 'quite loose' :( Nor did I notice any difference auto (with savers) to manual and I'm usually tuned in to noises, hence my third go at the mainshaft bearing over Christmas, d...
