Oh god why
Thats a mess
The firestorm don't look nice as a cafe racer

Can't ride but it don't stop me trying

I think the Storm CAN look good as a Cafe Racer if it's done well. Not keen on this one, nothing seems to fit correctly. The chain run in the first pic looks wrong, the exhaust sticks out at a strange angle and don't get me started on the red chain/yellow coil combo. Nasty.

i thought the holes were for weight loss but on 2nd thoughts perhaps they are bullet holes from people who don't like the bike........

Last pic shows the can fitted instead of a sidecar.

I think we might make a better job of that, between us,
drunk,
blind drunk,
actually blind, registered blind,
with a blindfold on,
actually with a blindfold on our hands, entire head, all over and a straightjacket,
on crack,
actually using only our crack to grasp the tools needed,
actually using only our tools to grasp the tools needed,
on a bad hair day,
while asleep.

Of course, there are some good points....

Just not on this bike.

Just my humble opinion, feel free to disagree.

If your'e mad,
sectioned,
Certifiable,
Certified,
with a failed attempt and an o-level in living, due to not turning up on the right day.

Â£300 cash, no more.
And I'd want it delivered.

So just to clarify Tony, you're on the fence on this one!

Possibly able to be improved by riding it at speed into a substantial fence post, yes.

Looking at the first picture, it would appear that there is a serious misalignment between the front and rear sprocket. It looks like enthusiasm has triumphed over capability...

I didnt realise Meccano done after market parts for the firestorm

I think that it's because the engine is trying to disown it........

i think the sign above the bike in the first picture sums it up.................NO!!!!!!!

I quite like the 3 distinct edges on the rear tyre. straight ahead, left, right...

Have a look at Pappy Smears thread on the SH forum, Pappy goes Cafe. Some nice work and very effective.
