    Hi Everybody!

    I thought I'd pop my head in and say hello and introduce myself to the forum.
    I've been riding for a few years now, and about six months ago I upgraded from 250's to an '08 VFR800. Best decision I've made!
    I bought it off a guy in the gong, who evidently had it sitting in his garage for a while not moving very much as it had a sticky spot in the chain. I got it for a decent price and have been riding it around and generally taking it easy, but I struggled with low speed maneuvering. I thought it was just because I've been riding a 160kg 250cc and was used to the handling, but last week I changed the chain and the sprockets. Holy Balls, did it make a difference! I've always maintained my bikes (I'm a fiddler, what can I say), so I've never really let a chain get that old. Never again!
    I've just fallen in love with the bike again!

    Anyway, I made a little modification to the electronics on the weekend, so keep an eye open for my next thread. Hopefully I can contribute something to the forum!
