I took the VFR out yesterday and as usual it just amazed me, it is the perfect bike for me.
That isn't to say that I wouldn't change a few things on it, If funds allowed.
It would benefit from better brakes and a better rear shock and I would like a more HRC inspired paint job on it, but they are just personal preferences, it all works fine.

The biggest problem with it is that I bought it as a £600 snotter and I can't think of anything I could replace it with, certainly nothing at that price, a moot point really as I haven't got any money for another machine anyway.

I need to win the lottery and buy an RC30.

Somewhat predictably NewPod claims to have swapped from a Z500 to RD350lc because the insurance costs were lower.

Do we have a potentially most boring man in the world award?

Potentially???

Possibly also the unhappiest judging by his regular posts about what passes for a marriage.

It shows what happens when your sole focus in life is money.

Isn't it his wife who is unhappy?

Good point.

I read it that he's unhappy because she is and that's his fault.
I guess that's due to being married to a money obsessed bore.

Fuck knows what their kids make of them.

Maybe they've given him a date when it to be the most convenient for them if he were to die on it?

I scored very low on the autie test. I’m cheerful, happy, confident, like meeting new people, chatty and largely sociable. What the fuck am I doing on this forum?

I find it hard to picture him doing anything as interesting as riding any motorbike let alone an Elsie.

If he said he swapped the LC for a GPZ305 it would make perfect sense however

Didn't realise a Z500 was a new bike. Assumed it was one of those wanky 500's WTC and Hooli love so much.
