Don't think you need ventoy features, install fedora in a suitable partition, install your next os afterwards in another partition and don't install grub, boot back into fedora, update grub, it'll find the new os and give you a list to boot from on startup.

Why did you choose ventoy?

I love a FFE, I see plenty of pro-dive, do the brakes top it out really hard?

Sketchy passing manuover in a charity motorcycle race.

To be honest we were racing honda 90's (honda passports in NA) so every pass was sketchy, but this is high on my daft list.

Diceing with a pro rider for a couple of laps, huge fun, close racing, a long lefthander coming up, I knew he had a big advantage here, his skinny ass could lean more here (ground clearance is a problem on soggy commuter bikes) so each lap he'd gain a little lead here, this time i'd nailed the corner, got close, two back markers ahead, didn't lift, passed the pro guy, dived between the backmarkers, over a greasy kerb, massive highside/slapper, kept it pinned and pulled away, I think I scared the pro because I didn't see him until it was all over.

I had the biggest shit eating smile under my helmet the whole time.

Excellent! Best choice, mine didn't even die I just got terminally bored with it after 10 years or so. One time I rode from Aberdeen to Cork in a day with a busted radiator.

Get this one, have/had a very similar f2, it's an everything bike, track, tour, street. italian import is nothing to worry about, parts are the same. what really sells it to me is the stock silencer and general unmessed with look, seems like a previous owner loved it.

Check it's charging, 90's honda 5 wire rectifier's are bleug, hydralic camchain tensioner can get weak, hold it at about 9krpm for 1~2 seconds and slam the thottle shut, you'll hear a horendous chain rubbing noise if it needs replacing.

When buying any older bike, look at the nooks and crannys a quick clean won't have reached, check things like the foot pegs, low mileage bike won't have worn pegs, fork chrome is a expensive pain to fix, so make sure those are good. Excellent first big bike.

Ad's gone? bandits are good, 1200 is quite a big step up from 125, just remember unlike a 125 the throttle is not an on/off switch and spend money on really good tyres.
