Is the red glow from the dash adjustable.
Not wishing to sound like a wowser, but, err, it sort of looks like a coat of many colours. (will hopefully see one in the flesh soon).

But knowing how pedantic Mr H can be online with compra/comprehansa/ reading and writing things, then it must be quite a sickle to win his nod.

And fairings are for big girls who have limited neck and shoulder muscles.
Enjoy

The Shiver look quite good in the metal. They don't look as fussy as you think, and instead look.. detailed.

**Hitcher** · 7th January 2009, 21:18

Mileage doubled in one day. That's not going to happen for that much longer! (Well, not after it gets to 800km).

Congratulations!
A great bike from what I have heard.

Will this make an appearance at the 09 GC?

That's the Plan Stan. Hopefully the FJR will be sold by then, possibly to an 09 GC rider, who knows?

That's what I was gonna say, kinda. Without wishing to appear a suck up, if it gets the Hitch seal of approval , it's gotta be worth a look eh.

Nah, I still sound like a suck up but you know what I mean.

Yes it is.

Mr H must be indeed fortunate. Every time I buy a new bike it rains for days, and no, I don't buy them in the winter. The VFR has its birthday on Sunday.
