Hello from the UK - new member

Hello,

I have been a VTR nerd for about 3 1//2 years and have owned 7 VTrs in that time. They all came to me with issues.
1 - assassinated HISS in an attempted theft
1 - broken crankcase due to thrown drive chain
1 - running but rough due to valve timing being out by a tooth
3 - failed CCTs
1 - emerged from the pile of parts i had collected - Frankenstorm

I rode the all and then sold them on, except for Frankenstorm.

Hello all !!

I do love the bikes and ignoring my time spent fixing them, I have had pretty much a free bike to ride for the past few years. So i am sure i will have another broken one soon.... already got a rebuilt head, head gasket and CCT waiting.
