New member from Austria

Hello!
After year knowing this page I get aware of the included forum. I’ve owned ad VF1000R in 1991, but sold after one year. In 2018 I bought again a canandian modell VF1000RF. In the meanwhile I have modificated some things:
17" frontwheel from the PC25
17" rearwheel from the PC31
full service for the front fork an changed the spring to progressive
Rear shock replaced by a Hyperpro type VF1000F2 to get back the millimeters which I lost by using the PC31 rear wheel.
fueltank prepared with special coating to avoid oxidation
break line substituted
the next projects will be the brakes itself

Hey Speedy,
Bought a T-Shirt in Austria a few weeks ago while on vacation. It clearly states on a yellow road sign “There are no Kangaroos in Austria”. They obviously killed em all off when they removed the “al” from our name. We should send them some of ours. :joy: :rofl: :smile: to keep them happy.

Hi Jovimill
During my stay in Australia in 2022 I’ve learned the following:
Australia 7.688.287 square km, population 25,8 Mio
Austria 83.900 square km, population 9,03 Mio
Ergo: There is no room for Kangaroos in Austria.
