Even though I don't really have a sig these days.

I've just come into possession of the ex-Sorby VFR750.

And yes, it's just as tatty as you'd expect from a 140k mile bike.

But it has an MOT and it goes well.

I'm giving it a bloody good tidy up over the next few months - started
today, with stripping and cleaning as much as I could.

I've stuck it on a blog so I have a motivation to keep track of what I'm
doing.

That bike is mounting a challenge for the title of 'UKRM Whore'.

Good to see it still looks in good shape (all things considered).

It's got a long way to go before it usurps the throne from my old GT750
:-)

That went to Eddie, then Statto, then Sweller.....

Ah, yes, but how many people actually *owned* it? Which is what we're
talking about here....

Sorby, JackH, my brother (kind of qualifies as he once did a French run
on it), and me.

I believe that, other than the supplying dealer, there have been no
other owners.

Bad form - but I've exhanged some emails with Sorby, this is what he
says:

'Well, say hello to anyone on UKRM who cares or remembers - I do miss
y'all.'

He appears to be live and well making music - and has done some stuff
with Miles from the Wonderstuff!

Oh, that reminds me. Guess who forgot our wedding anniversary today?
