Okay, 2nd required post
On with the intoduction.

I live in Mt Juliet TN and have just inherited a VT1100C. As a mechanical engineer, I get my hands pretty greasy, on purpose, as a hobby. Just how hard is this bike to work on? BTW, I restored a British sports car, so challenging is not a fearful thing.

Also, I was just wondering if there other members near by?

Welcome, what year VT1100C? Post some pictures.

McGuyver · 07-20-2012, 11:28 PM

Hi Ramie,
it's a 1994 model and I will post some pictures after I give it a good bath and wax and figure out how to post pics like most others on here.

Im more interested in you posting pics of this "british sports car" u speak of

McGuyver · 07-21-2012, 12:10 AM

It is a 94 model, pretty much stock except for some cobra floor boards.

Chodey, It was a 71 Triumph TR6, but I have since sold it. I have a website that I kept the restoration pictures on, but I will have to find the url. Will post later if interested.

The TR6 Story

I haven't updated the site since I sold the car.

Welcome to the forum and looking forward to photos of your bike. Thanks for your link to the TR6. Back in 1976 I had a TR7 and had a blast with it. Engine heating issues caused me to unload it. And...as always and above all, ride safe.
