Firstly sincere thanks to all those who have E Mailed me with good wishes for my health. In all my life I've never been properly ill. Injured frequently, but ill never. It does concentrate the mind,and take you back to happy days charging over the mountain, climbing Grey Mare's Ridge in the Scottish Six Days Trial, or enduring the pain and pleasure of the Scott Trial. S'pose better to have done it rather than NEVER done it.
Anyway thanks again. I may have helped myself to sell the VFR400 by putting my E Mail address on the original posting. It's:nick@nickjefferies.co.uk. Cargo asked if it's tuned. Answer, no, thankfully, someone gets a standard engine to play with. It wouldn't be tidy enough as it stands to turn up at the scrutineers at the Manx, but, hey, there's time for the thing to be pulled apart and start again. I would. For those that don't know, I always rated the 400 class as THE class to start on the Island. I would still enjoy a whizz round on one now. Is it really 16 years since Steve Hislop, Carl Fogarty, Steve Cull, Steve Ward, Dave Leach, and I all charged round together on the Saturday night of the Formula 1 race day,all on trick little 400's. What a load of pure and fantastic FUN that was. I had ridden Terry Rymer's World Superbike OW01 earlier in the day, and the 400 Yam felt as though it was on three cylinders it was so slow compared to the 750.Happy days indeed.
