Another Vtr noobie from Brighton

Post by Ant »

Hello, just got my hands on a '97 storm and I'm chuffed to bits! It might have been seen on here before the guy selling it mentioned the forum.... Will put up some picks soon.

So far I've spent a few days soaking every bolt in WD40 and at the weekend / last night stripped it down. So now I own a pile of bits!

The forum has already been really useful so thought I should say hello and thank you to everyone for the great forum.

I'll be starting a thread in the pimp my ride section soon, got some plans including a custom tail unit.

Cheers,

Ant

Welcome to the site, a noobie myself but so far a very good site. Me and the Mrs (pillion) enjoy a trip to Brighton a few times a year stopping at box hill on the way, nice decent run down the back roads and always leaves her wanting more (and the Mrs)
If it aint broke, get your bloody hands off it!

Cheers Alan, I'm lucky the bike came with manual cct's and the regulator rectifier done already. So a little less work for me!
