Moving to Scotland / Licensing...

Safe storage is any reasonable measure to keep the guns out of the hands of unauthorised users. Inside a cupboard/wardrobe with trigger locks on should be fine. They never asked where I kept mine, and they knew they weren't in my gun cabinets as they'd already looked inside to see my other guns.

That sounds more sensible, thanks.

I'm curious though... how do you crash a Sinclair ZX81?
First 'computer' I ever had was one of them.

Sniggered at that. My wife managed to pass me TWICE on a single lap at Knockhill. Will never be allowed to forget it (Harley 1200 vs Honda RC45)

Please tell me she was on the Honda and you were on the Hog?

I've an old VFR in my garage (not rich enough for an RC30 or 45) and absolutely love the v4!

She was on the Honda, I was on a Buell piece of s**t. In my defence, she was useful on track, even asked to try out for Yamaha at Donnington. Said no as she felt her priority was our 13yo daughter.

You should look for an RC35, the RVF400. Stunning machines, real world useable, and unbelievable quality.

I love those little 400's but I'm not sure my creaky old joints would be happy riding one. I've a Tiger 900 as well as the VFR, plus an older CBR600 that I'm now trying to sell before we move, more because I won't have space up there for 3, at least at first.

You're right about build quality though, the late 80's & 90's Honda sports & sport tourers were a different class.

One of my acquaintances in the village still has two 750 vfrs in his garage. He works overseas & I doubt they don't have any more than 3000 miles each on them. Unfortunately he won't sell.

Blimey thats barely run in for a VFR! Mine's a 95 model with 66k on the clock but still smooth as. The 94-97 were the last of the 750's before they went to 800cc. After that they went v-tech and back to chain driven cams. A backward move from big H, in my humble opinion...
