    Yeah, I liked Staintune on the VFR so much, I bought two for the Ducati.

    She is smart, and prolly deserves something more special than me!

    Duccmann, we must have crossed paths at the Rock Store, I was project manager for the supporting venues outside the Olympic Village for UCLA, and had my 83 750F from Toronto as my mode of transportation. Didn't take long for me to find the Rock Store.

    Beautiful bike, welcome home.Looks almost like mine,Staintune,etc.
    Yellow is a great color but the gnats seem to like to sit on the paint when I return from a ride.
    Never did that with the red '95.

    Very very nice indeed. Lovely photo. I'm hoping that's how mine will look once it's finished.

    Nice! My first VFR was a yellow 99 and I'd probably still have it if I hadn't stopped at traffic lights and the Renault behind me didn't. Welcome back!

    Yeah and this one was also my first VFR and I wouldn't have half as much work to do bringing it back to life if I hadn't sold it in the first place! Luckily I managed to buy it back before it became unsalvageable.
