Hello from West Midlands

Post by john306 »

Just saying hello from a new FireStorm owner.
I bought Pauls (Tempest) Yellow VTR bike off him a couple of weeks ago, loved the looks and low down grunt.
Got back onto a bike after years off one (family, limited spare cash etc) so yes I am getting on a bit :beer:
Hope to learn a great deal from these forums over time.
Cheers.

Thanks for the offer but that's one thing that's sorted with manual ccts already, how/when to adjust will be my next load of reading.

Hi Chris I did as I registered john306 email without the - in it so the registration email wouldn't have got to me if I needed to link back to the forums, and it wouldn't let me use that name again so I tried another.
I then tried logging in with john306 and it worked and I updated the email address to the correct one
So sorry for the confusion and you can scrap the john039 one now.

No problem John, it's just forum policy to only have one user name per member, and I'm responsible for registering new members :)

Cheers,

Chris.
