Hi all

Just finished working offshore after 12years and needed a daily driver for my 90mile round trip commute to my new job onshore.

Yesterday I got myself a neat 03 VTR for a daily driver. My sister had a new one 10yrs ago and I thought it was brilliant. My other vehicles are just not economical for doing such mileage.

Feels great and takes me back to my days of Karting with the way you can chuck it about.

No pics yet. It's been stored in the previous owner's Uncles garage for the last 7 months so just a little bit dirty. It only got a 3 mile run every Sunday to keep it loose as he couldn't afford the insurance. Being an old fart insurance is ok for me.

Just ordered a quickshift kit. Can't believe the length of the orginal throw.
