Greetings from the icey wastes of Wiltshire.As my user name makes plain I am of advanced years...63...and clearly a VTR is wholely an inappropriate bike for me Should really be on a moped.But the VTR has been an ambition of mine since the bike came out.Besides its rather a fetching blue colour.And also its much more enjoyable to use than my bus pass.Its a2005 reg F4 and I have just fitted a set of bar risers so I can reach the bars.

I have trawled this site on many occaisions and now plucked up courage to put myself on record.If there are any other old duffers about perhaps they would give me a shout as I think its time for me to learn how to do a wheelie.


Regards to all. old duffer

Welcome to the forum You will find a few oldies riding Blue ones on here :biggrin

Before you go pulling any wheelies make sure you get the CCT's sorted out if they have not been done already. Wheelies are not good for the front end or the bones if your unlucky :roll:

Plenty of rideout next year which will give you the chance to meet fellow members http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=26671
