Re: 'Ere 'ere is the EAR Megathread
Sorry you lot, just got back off holiday. Yes the VFR is up for sale, and I'm replacing it with a sports car!! Possibly a BMW Z3 if I can get one for the right price. I will be getting a bike, but it will be a bit of a hack I think!! Something to keep me busy getting it on the road. I know if I sell the VFR, I'll want to go biking as soon as it's gone, so I'm not giving up a bike.

Re: 'Ere 'ere is the EAR Megathread
Ive been busy with my bike, getting her in tip-top shape for AR10.
Only had it a month and (courtesy of the bank of Jeff) ive replaced the screen, removed and rewelded and repainted rhs footrest hanger, replaced tank protector, new can (nothing flash, just daytona standard black can but still improved sound and looks), exhaust hanger, new hugger and just sorting new chain guard, touched up a bit of dodgy paintwork and put 2000 miles on it Still to do: Seat cowl, top yoke protector, spray hanger Ive just been in the garage and reset suspension settings to default (except front compression which wont budge) so it'll be interesting to see if it feels very different. The only one which was way out was front pre-load which should have five rings showing but was set to only three. Having never had a bike with adjustable suspension before I have no idea what that does!!!!! Loving the bike (and the extra 40 horses ) but am really worried about damaging it - parts and accessories are nowhere near as easy to come by as SV Still no regrets |

I had my suspension adjusted by a chap who said he knew what he was doing and it was fine on the road - went to Snetterton and it was waaaay too soft - I think the whole bike could do with a look after in the bouncy bits department - 22k and 8 years is a long time with no maintenance in that area...

Re: 'Ere 'ere is the EAR Megathread
Been commuting on the bike for the past few weeks and have been working out the MPG (sad I know) and its averaging out at about 42-43mpg - not too bad for a big 1000cc twin that has had the fuelling mucked about
