 Posted: 17:33 - 12 Jul 2008  Post subject: Gave the VFR its first throrough clean |
 |
|
Inspired by an old chap at Bob Minions in Derby, I decided to give the old girl a good clean!
I popped in to see if they had any rim tape in stock and was greeted by an old man listening sweetly to the V4. By the time Id had the chance to take my helmet off he was already giving it a good look around.
We got talking, and he told me he was the first person in Derby to have VFR before inviting me in to show me some pictures in his toolbox.
Said out of any bike on the road now, he would have an NC30. I was chuffed as he said it looked in mint condition, and that he was did valetting 3 days a week there! So he definately knows a mint bike..
Turns out he was 82 and still rides, got an SV650. Im definately going back there more often now..
Heres a couple of shots of my cleaning spruce. Shame I didnt have the chance to take it out for some pictures, it would probably be dirty by then though!

Just got a new job at a second hand dealership and a big part of it is washing the bikes down.
How nice is the feeling you get when you look at the awesome shineyness? 
Nice bike by the way man, the only 400 I would buy.
Well that and an RVF lol.
