Re: hello from maryport
Storms work well as a commuter, except in city traffic for more than half an hour, I'd say. They are very easy to use in less than ideal weather, and even in ice and snow they cope. But when you do get a bit of straight road or a few bends on a dry day they reward you. They'll overheat in summer in...

Re: Long time viewer first time caller [AUS]
GDay Brewed,
it's a good forum this one innit!
Only this week after 2k kms on a VTR I've come to think the calipers+ weren't up to it. I'm sure your improvements will fix it.

Re: FireStorm <--> Yamaha TRX850 commentary
useful comparison of key features. did you make a video of how the ride compares? incidentally, just how cold does it get in perth? Video riding comparison, nope, the TRX fork legs had spot rust & the seals were gone. Which is why it's gone and the VTR is here. Perth WA weather, if horse trough...

Re: New Carbon Silencers
got a square on rear photo to share?
45 degree rear shot looks just fine. Dark carbon will go nicely with rubber and other blackout bits

VTR on the left, TRX on the other 6spd - 5spd 90 degree, different cam size twin - 270 degree crank parallel twin OneHundred and (thanks Wicky) 50cc mo...

Re: The pipes, the pipes are calling
G'day, are we missing something here. Probably, hoped someone would know though because I don't. Was hoping the curve of the pipe inlet end in the photo compared to original pipe curves would be an aha for someone. I may have to go for a drive to find out...
