I had a VF750 when I was 20, just couldn't afford the Norwich Union UNLIMITED rider policy at the time, else would have had the thou!

Don't know what has happened to the Big H in recent times . . seem to have lost their way?
personally i reckon all jap factories have lost there way over the last few yrs,ducati too for me.they dont seem to make bikes for everybody anymore just the go faster crotch rockets.maybe were getting old!!!
as for the rider policies,thats showing ya age!!:)

there's nothing like spending some quality time with the bike to cure the restive soul...............life seems just that little bit better. Best Wishes.

cheers doggo. she sounds superb,has a bit of a rasp to her courtesy of a couple o small holes in the original silencers.dont suppose theyve done bad for ther age!!some bikes cant hold onto ther silencers for a year these days.
as for the work front,im starting to get really down BUT it will NOT beat me.
