    Some shameless picture posting...

    Some of you have been following my VTR build in the 'Other Bikes' board. I am nearly finished with the build, and took advantage of a really nice day yesterday to have a good friend take some pics like I never can. I thought i would post them up. This is my 1998 Honda VTR1000F, ready to go raiding in the next Zombie Apocolypse!















    And a few action shots as well!







    He even got a youtube vid of it as well:

    Its a great bike, and it's loud and fast! Anyway, hope you guys enjoy! We got snow here too now, so riding is done...
    Healthy is merely the slowest rate at which you can die

    Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better. I’ve always believed this, in spite of the trouble it’s caused me. Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube. That is why God made fast motorcycles, Bubba….Hunter S. Thompson

    Hi T99,
    not a bike for an old fat man but very nice. And a bike designed for the next Zombie Apocalypse will really need a blood-coloured drive chain, just to fit in, eh?

        Nice work. Your taste differs greatly from mine but you do do great work.

            I appreciate all the open-minded kind words. Not everyone has been so kind

            Fred: spot on.

            I love the undertail shots. That view was the main reason I put in a polished undertail piece!

            But after that break in, I can't wait for the NO passes!

                        Ha, that is a government secret as well....

                        The dyno claimed top speed is in the neighborhood of 160. With spray--I don't really know yet!
