I've been buying stuff from Gerhard since 1997 and since I would be in his neck of the woods (somewhat), I offered to drop by so we could finally meet f2f.

Met up with 2 guys from the German VFR forum, one off which does modify a lot and engineers stuff.

Direct route to Lohr would be about 1 hour via the Autobahn, but instead they took me some 4 hours through the Odenwald.

Roads are on par with the Dragon (at some points even tighter); the main difference to posted speedlimit..... 100kmh/62MPh...

My Angel GT's were brilliant! (it rained.....0

Thurn is in the final stages of having LED brake/rear indicator light units produced. some final tweaking to the molds to be done:

He -and the engineer that makes them- did have a good look and could see and recognize the skill in Seb making it.

Which is a lot more than the childish sour grapes they got here on VFRD with their (different design and method) solution to the "problem".

Their finish is smooth whereas Seb's has a -nice- weld.

Some like blondes, some like brunettes, I like both :goofy:

Well the clear clutch covers have been around a long time, pre sebspeed, pre thurn, just not on VFRS. Mostly a show bike thing, seen them on haybusas. I have seen all sorts of crazy stuff on Hayabusa bikes that just out of this world.
