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 !!

 

Let me be the first to welcome you to the forum.
Seven VTRs in 3 1/2 years! You are a busy man.

 

Hello and welcome to the forum! Enjoy your stay.

 

Frankenstorm is a name I can appreciate...cool to persevere thru what the universe throws at ya.

 

Welcome to the forum. You must really like these bikes.

 

Then, why does he keep selling them?

 

I guess he prefers the broken ones.

 

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.
