I'm back baby

[Cptn. Awesome]

For those of you that don't know what I'm talking about, I had an off (only minor) and I trashed the fairings on my VFR400 NC24.

Well after lots of money, a new car, almost buying a VTR1000 from Kawasaki Newcastle and almost coming to tears I (or moreso my Dad) have finished the bike and it's now road legal.



One point I would point out to anyone who has had an off and can't decide if its worth repairing their bike because of it's lowish value, I say that if you truly love the machine you ride then do it. I fell in love with the noise my VFR makes, the way it rides and the way it looks so for me it was a no-option choice.

Well done. Nice to see you kept your bike 'alive' and stayed by it regardless of money. I did a similar thing to my bike, luckily I had a spare fairing otherwise it really would have been costly as I spent £200 on parts to get it back and its still not to what it was - exhaust scraped, but do not know what I would have done if I didnt have the fairings, maybe it would have been tracked.

Now ya best be keepin it that way

Woo, keeping '24s on the road.

I too love the sound mine made, and quite miss it in a lot of ways.

Just keep on top of the collector box, if it sniffs moisture it falls apart, and you can't get them with any ease any more!
