Oh Hai

Post by Twinhed »

Hello everybody, Karl here, :thumbup: joined the Firestorm club a couple of weeks ago, just started getting to know her, loving having a big twin again. Last bike was a TLR and it was a nightmare from start to finish, falling in love again :-)

Welcome to the club mate. Has the bike had all the necessary alterations to make it safe? CCT's, reg/rec.
Hope you enjoy the Storm

That's certainly the main thing to do but the reg/rec can be a pita if it's an early unfinned version.
