So i`ve helped to inflate the price of decent vfr400s then. Do i get commission? Cool. By the way, the bit about people begging for me to restore their bikes is bollocks! :grin:

Just been talking to the guys at the mag about stuff and they will be looking for more bikes in the future after I mentioned all you guys. They will be interested in featuring modded bikes as well as the standard ones.
