It's all put back together and seems to be running ok. Now it's time for a test ride.

I bought one of these, loved it, sold it to buy something else. Went into a garage to buy a Triumph America, it was mint but sounded meh 😑 i spotted a dilapidated Red VTR in the corner, bought it, fixed it, cleaned it, love it 🏍️🙂

They're a great bike, I've had one about 15 years ago as well and have great memories of it.

Hi Ivor. the VTR was the 2nd bike i owned, swapped a car for it. Loved it. Sold it after 10 years, regretted it. Bought a doer upper VTR that had the front auto tensioner failure. Spent 6-8 months putting a new engine in and like you learned as I went along, loved it. I'm still riding it today. It's not the prettiest looking bike, but it starts and runs great. Happy tinkering..

I've sold this one now, but I'd certainly get another, great bikes.

That will make a canny bike for some one Ivor . The fuel light was making me anxious 🤣🤣👍

[@ivy-mac]

It was making me anxious as well 😂

Really enjoying your vids Ivor, despite the fact that I have practically zero knowledge of bikes 😂

[@ivy-mac]

Thanks George, I'm glad you're enjoying them.

I don't think it looks too bad, especially with a lower fairing or belly pan. Have you seen them in the Rothmans colours? 👌
