wilts

Hi Chaz, will do.
Not heard the greatest things about Taylors (Chippneham or Calne). know a guy with an SP1 who uses Geroge Whites in swindon and rates them, but I suspect he got well looked after as they used to sponsor his race bike...

what make?

So which make of DB screen is recommended? I'd be after a clear or black one.

Are they all same shape? I'm only 5'7 but the standard one gives my Arai a good blasting...

Stand

cheers Ben, I was wondering about that, I assumed you'd still have to use an under engine Jack and hoist for doing the swing arm and shock etc.

Stands

I'm looking too,
I've used an Abba stands on a Hornet - good piece of kit. Unless there's a magic paddock stand out there for the storm, I'll be getting one :D

Does the VTR use much Oil?

I recently got my Storm with 22k on the clock.

It doesn't appear to be using oil but I've only had it a week and not much more than 500 miles covered (which were all very enjoyable :D).

What's the norm?

Cheers

Rego

Ages since I heard the terms Rego and WOF.
I couldn't believe it when I went out to NZ, I bought myself a GSX750 Suzuki and phoned the local broker and asked for a quote for minimum legal cover

"There is no minimum requirement sir"

Fantastic! bought a new set of tyres instead. :D

And.... I've never seen a pissed up group of bikers wandering around the Brands Paddock shouting "Riz-Er-Laaa" before taking a swing at somebody who just happens to be different to them

Foggy fans spring to mind!

Point taken on all the B*llocks that surrounds football though

Do you really think all professional footballers are women hating Chav Scum? Definitely falls into the sweeping generalisation category. If there was a team that played in all black would you support them :D As for them being softies, there's a difference between doing something whilst in pain (albe...
