    little, old and beautiful (just joking)

    Hello everyone. I've been riding for a while now and I own an old beat up Honda VF1000F. I started riding on an old Jawa 125, second bike was an Ariel Arrow that had been used for sand racing without an airfilter, and then a Jawa 250, and 350 twin. Then I did more than 100,000 miles on a Suzuki T500. I crashed the Le Mans 850 under a bus, and broke my thumb, and drove a cage for a while, until I bought the VF and an FZR750. The FZR was stolen and burnt (sighs), and the VF rebuilt (not intentionally!). Now I hanker after a Vmax, because it has more herbies than my VF, and I've found I like HEAVY for long trips.

    I've been reading over Hanabelle's shoulder for a while, and decided that I wanted to read the posts sometimes myself. Hanabelle has indicated that my life hangs in the balance if I say anything naughty or abstruse.

    Hiya Resident Angel

    Welcome to the house of madness

    Anything that makes us think is a good thing - so be as abstruse as you care to be...

    Not naughty?? Well why should you be different than everyone else??

    Cheers :spudbooge

    Thank you all for your kind welcomes.

    Jackrat - its a long time ago now, but I think it was a '71 TR500. Certainly it was the long wheel base version, cause you could carefully do two wheel slides on every corner from Auckland to Hamilton on it. The engine eventually ended up in a Yammy 250 frame (yup -it fitted with the loss of a few cooling fins, and some careful use of a crowbar) and one of Ken Macintosh's exhaust system's, and then it would wheelie very nicely indeed. Funny things happened to the front tyre tho - it kinda got very V'shaped! When I sold it, the potential purchasers were squabbling over the TZ750 4_leading shoe front brake ... the rest of the bike might as well have not existed, but by then the engine had done something like 200,000 miles, and was getting a little tired. I can also remember being forever being stopped on the motorway by the nice men wearing white helmets, who kept on telling me that my nice clean number plate was actually in actual fact quite dirty. It took a quiet complaint to the system about that particular problem before it went away.

    Celtic_Sea_Lili - um ...I was "warned" .. but I think it was to be "very GOOD", because I am known to run off at the mouth when the hormones get away on me ... and hb didna want me to ruin her reputation!

    NC30 - nice to meet you too!
