Hi =]

Post by Nutsy »

Quick hello to you all!

Long time lurker, will be posting a fair amount I'm sure. On my second Firestorm, first one I crashed spectacularly and sustained some pretty nasty injuries 3 years ago. Took a break from motorbikes until earlier this year when I bought my second Firestorm!

Did a baptism of fire this summer, rode to see my parents in southern Spain covering over 3,000 miles through France and the beautiful Pyrenees mountains. Was incredible!

Currently it's off the road whilst I do some maintenance, which has included getting a snapped studs off the front header (fun.. but sorted), brake overhaul and loads of other bits and pieces.

Based in Bristol but originally from Norfolk, which I know for sure I saw a fair few Firestorms. :beer:

Agent P gave me a tour on some of those Spanish roads in 2015.
Fantastic times Come and do a few British roads with us this year ( see rideouts section) and see how they compare.

What colour and what side of town are you? I’ll keep an eye out

Thanks all! :thumbup:

I'm up UWE way, will certainly try to make some summer ride outs!

Bikes in a bit of a state at the moment, but should you see a red one with cut fairings that'll probably be me. :lol: .

I work just up the road in Filton. I'll keep an eye out. Weather is a bit sketchy now but I'll be back on the bike just as soon as the salt is gone...if I can wait that long :wink:

I'm buzzing around there all the time. I'm guessing you have a white firestorm? I'm sure I'll see you about!
