Hi....just got signed up...been doing some "lurking" for a while. I just got my VTR in September...nice yellow 01. I'm in Ottawa Ontario Canada and due to the weather here, my bike and I am taking a bit of a break from riding <G> (can't get snow tires locally) The forum is great...got some ideas and some questions answered. My last ride was a Vulcan 1500...ran most of the summer on that....discovered it wasn't for me....I still had a need for speeding thru curves. Ill post a pix in the rides forum if any one is interested.

 

Welcome aboard; the only good thing about winter, (if you have to deal with that kinda thing), is plenty of time for mods.

 

Welcome!

 

Welcome !

I tried a Vulcan VN750 & found I like my S'hawk MUCH better

 

Thanks for the welcomes...
As for winter, can't do any mods.....bike is locked up in a shed for the duration. I don't think there are many mods that need to be done though.
Bike has the untertail, hugger, LED turnsignals, clear rear lens with LED lights, two bros pipes, jetted and K&N air filter. Bike came with BT10's on it, rear tire has a few more miles left, already have a replacement Strada for it. I am really happy with the VTR....handles like a dream. Last sportbike I owned was a 93 "gixxer" 1100. Nice bike except it killed my wrists. Had to really work to make it behave through turns.

 

one word: suspension; oh and welcome
