General Comments
just picked it up last week from my best friend who finally decided to part with it , I've ridden his VTR many times but now having it in my garage and being able to spend quality time with it ... well my wife only shakes her head . Next weekend a bunch of us are heading down to the Gap (Tennessee) and yes we are riding from Ontario. No trailers! Having ridden inlines for the last 25 yrs mainly GSXR's this is a total transformation for me and I can't wait to pack up the big twin and put it to the test Being 6'4 the VTR fits me more comfortably , leg room and my back is not hunched over, I really enjoyed taking the Gixer down south on previous trips down to deals ... but this time around my knees will thank me and hopefully I don't have to pop any Advils! I will let you guys know how I make out!

Insurance
So, if a driver with the $5,000 minimum totals out your $15,000 bike, his insurance company will pay you only $5,000. How will you get the other $10,000?
