Hello all, Fabiostar, I still have red bike, but after going onto one cylinder during a Snetterton trackday quite a few years ago, I left in garage to gather dust for a long while. This weekend it is getting a good clean up, as am taking it on its travels to see Roger D next month. He's not seen this one yet!Hopefully I'll be able to upload these Carnells Firestorm meeting pics that I've just dug out of cupboard.

Those are great photos, thanks for sharing.


Hope the intervention with Roger gets the red bike back and booming

Hello again fellow Firestormers, just a quick update from sunny Heacham. Red bike is still refusing to fire on front cylinder, post Snetterton soaking it got years ago, new (to me ) black bike has been looked over and ok, and yellow bike is now in bits, with engine, carbs and airbox at uncle Rogers, currently being stage 1'd. I'm calling that my 60th birthday present to me. Photo included to cater for Firestorm lovers and bin pervs. :cool2

Excellent collection. Bins that is 👍🤣

Bet it's some simple on the red one. But its only simple when you find it, best of luck.

Btw used to go to Snetterton alot, with my lad when he raced RC battery touring cars.

He is now too old to have his old man tagging along now, but he still plays with RC cars. Nitro rally cross now.
