Hello, ... Tis myself!! Yes I am on Irish soil and based in Dublin (although my passport says I am Dutch) Sorry to dissapoint but I'm slow and married :oops: - one might be linked to the other :lol: . Nah, I have to admit that I rarely hit the ton when out there so I'm not the man for this mission.....

Hello folks, Just checking in after a few months of absense and to say hello. Good to see the site is still going strong so nothing changed there! :D I'm still getting my Vtwin vibs but from a KTM Superduke. Was sad to see the Storm go after 4 years (and 2 CCT failure :evil: ) I still miss the heavy...

I've had it since Satuday and already feel much more comfortable on it on the roads then I did on the VTR (which could well be a personal thing) When I bought it I noticed that the tyres are chewed up on the edges. At the time I reckoned that the previous owner had sneaked in a track day before hand...

Folks, Just letting you know that the VTR is gone and I traded he for a 3 month old KTM SuperDuke. Loved the Storm but the KTM is in a different universe alltogether!!

Sophie Ellis Bextor found headbutted to death in the apartment of a French footballer.

Apparently it was murder on Zidanes floor........

No such letters in the Dutch Alphabet!! I would know being Dutch ... so only one other option left

Love the paint job and the powder coated swing arm/forks...
Leave off the Belly pan though - go for a Moriwaki style instead!! (in Carbon!!)

Hi Bink, I'm I right in thinking you changed your coolant on your Firestorm recently :?: Chris. Hé Chris - not recently anymore. But I did change it about 4-5 moths ago. Anybody any idea how to unblock the siphon? Could it be as simple as pushing a copper wire down the tube? Cheers so far so the w...

Hi Lads,

Excuse my ignorance but could you please explain what a 'stuck thermostat' is?
It is not stuck in the sense that it always reads the same temperature. (i.e. the needles rises steadily when sitting in traffic and then the fan comes on)

Thanks again!

I might be describing the fault and the cause here but I am hoping some one can explain to me what is happening. During the weekend cleaning of teh bike I noticed that my lower radiator joint hose had taken an oval shape (starting at the bottom of the right hand radiator). Which I thought could poss...

Folks,
I know that the bike mags usually have ads in them which give Ferry discount codes. Do any of you have a mag (or a code ) handy there?

I am looking to cross from Dublin - Holyhead just in case it matters.

Thanks!

Hi folks,
Anybody here know which viscosity gives the best results when upgrading the fork oil? I believe that there is a choice between 7.5 or 10 ... ?
Don't want to do a full conversion as I am not sure how long I will keep the bike. I don't do trackdays - just normal road riding.

Thx!
