Hello. Back on a Storm !

Post by bigtwinthing »

Hi All.

Been out for ages, sorry. After hands are all now back to normal, I've bought a Storm today, BUT ! Its BLUE :?
15,000 miles, 2003 but needs some TLC.

Cant wait to ride it, Ive moved, got a new job, been in an AirB&B for 3 months at £2850 a month ( bloody hell yes!)

Apart from that, hit 60, fitter than ever and cant wait to start tinkering.

Hope you have all been ok

Regards Paul.

Welcome to the brotherhood you old git. Be careful when you eventually get out on it, you’ll be surprised by the additional acceleration/speed associated with that particular hue. :lol:

Thanks Guys, you cant resist the noise can you really.

Looking forward to getting back on it, my hands are fine, no vibes after 2 hrs on a SV1000 last month. Bike has the MCCT,s done already, just needs some TLC

This one is a keeper. If I can get it half as good as the red one I will be happy.

Forks and shock upgrade to start with.

Lightened flywheel, jet kit, etc etc.

The bug has bitten.

The one known as obsessive compulsive modding.

Great to see.

The red one was a cracker but then again I could be biased.
