Re: silly prices...

There are a few bargains but there are also a few that want top money and don't understand when people don't want to pay it. I was watching a streetfightered storm on fleebay. it only reach £800 and didn't sell. I offered £800 on the phone. But it was put back on with a starting price of £1000 and d...

Is a bafflectomy louder than????

If a bafflectomy louder that a set of Art race cans.

Been looking at a storm with standard cans. Riding in London without noisy cans is dangerous!!!!!! 8O

Had Arts on my last 2 storms and they made a lovely sound :D

Your thoughts please!

Re: unappreciated at work.

I'd tell them that if they stop 30 mins pay that you'll add up all the extra time/work you do for them and bill them for it!
Write down every extra 5 mins you do, every tea break you work through, every short dinner break you have and put it on you overtime sheet!

Re: What do you think of this bike?

This will be my third Storm hopefully! I used the last 2 for fun, commuting and instructing on. As for mpg a storm will do more than my 2.5 diesel Transporter T4! Using it to commute on is more about saving time getting to my new posting. 30 to 35 mins max on a bike or 60 to 90 mins plus in the van!...

Re: What do you think of this bike?

Seriously....If you want a commuter, get yourself a CB500 and be done with it. I've had 2 for that very reason and they're great. I want another 1000cc v twin! But I will be commuting. I had a look at a 600 bandit the other day. BUT the money I would have to spend on the bandit convinced me that fo...

Re: Bike trailer near Romford

Good luck is it another firestorm?? Unfortunately not, it's a cheap 600 Bandit for comuting into London. I've got promoted and have to change stations. It's a bit of a shock, I walk to work now. If I had £2k I'd definately get another storm. But a £500 Bandit that will do over 45mpg. I've only just...
