Hi Folks

None taken really :-). In fact I am just now catching up with the
groups after a few days off. My name was singled out on my bachelor
party (or stag party as we call it in the UK) by a comedian for
similar reasons.

We have indeed taken a little time off - I hope to release another
Roundup episode later today, and we have a special episode coming up
on the 4th (can you imagine what that might be? :-) ).

The bike is indeed a 1996 VFR 750 FT. For anyone interested, it has a
Two Brothers exhaust, K&N air filter, de-snorkeled and re-jetted
(factory kit - that model of VFR was the last made with carbs instead
of injectors). It sounds magnificent - in the way that only a V-4 with
a racing exhaust can sound, and it runs extremely well too (although
technology has moved on in the last 12 years, so the 100+ HP it puts
out is not up with the 160+ that the new 1000cc bikes can do). I also
dremeled the rear fender off so that you can see the rear tire
properly.

I hang on to it because I love it dearly, have owned it from brand
new, and once read a review in bike magazine that rated it as the best
version of the best bike ever made - now how can you let something
like that go? It also starts first time, every time (take that Ducati
owners... :-) ).

Cheers

Dick
