I binned my storm back in June and although my injuries prevent me from riding anything in the near future I do miss my storm. Full recovery permitting my long term goal is to get another for next summer!and although I only had the pleasure of riding my storm for one month to the day of my accident ...

Hmmm beginning to wish I'd decided against visiting my family in The Lakes on that fateful day - Result ! 1 written off Storm. 10 day hospital stay. Shattered collar bone. Severe Concussion. Broken ribs. Broken hip. Split tendons in thumb & pinky finger. Knackered leathers,helmet, gloves and tai...

Thanks for all your kind messages.Recovering well methinks? Got to have a minor op on my thumb tomoz and see a bone surgeon on wed so hoping all will go well? think it may be 12months or so before I'm fully fit and have persuaded the Missus to let me have another storm! lol

If/when I get another bike its got to be a storm! Just need to convince the wife & kids lol

Thanks for the good wishes everyone. If my mistake prevents an accidentI will be happy.

Hi Everyone, Sadly have just been released from Hospital after writing off my beloved Firestorm over 10 days ago! I have found out I don't bounce like I used to years ago! Gutted that my pride and joy is no more and that it looks like I won't be riding for quite a while. A word of warning as it wasn...

Just woke up in Hospital after binning the vtr Fri !She's a write off!

Looking forward to nice run up to the Lakes tomorrow to visit family & friendsin my hometown of Keswick and Buttermere. Praying for sunny weather but will go prepared as it ain't called the Lakes for nothing! It will be my first decent run out on my storm since I got it so looking forward to it....

Hmm not happy with Swinton had a call off them yesterday and they said my renewal price was £170 Fc. When I told them I could get it for £98 they put me on hold and came back with £102:00 WTF! Why didn't they offer me that first as a "Valued" customer?? Taking the piss!

The sun is shining so I shall be heading for this tonight, always a good turn out and there should be a few hundred bikes attending. Well worth a visit.

At last my back has eased up and last night I was able to do the stopper mod before fitting new CCT's. Thanks guys for the "How to" guide made it much easier.

I can now ride without the nagging thought of the engine destructing!

Thanks Again

ASBO exhausts in Lancashire heard some good reports. Google them and have a look.

The pipes look great can I ask if you fitted different link pipes or is it correct that you can rotate the current ones around to achieve the raised look?

Looking good. Think I may even have a go at that myself. My pipes also have the mounting lugs on the pegs so they will have to go.

Think the missus would have something to say about it if I started pinching her shoes! Lol
