2nd Anniversary
2nd Anniversary
Bit of history for me, since 1999 I have never kept a bike for more than 18 months. So the firestorm ownership has gone the full term, now 2 years. So that says something. Well I did add to the herd this Summer, but that takes nothing away from her. Must Vac bag her up in the next few weeks.

Steady on Lloydie, that's also just over 2.5 years...
Anyway, part with which one exactly? Kermit or Piggy?

I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!

If I had to part with one it would kermit as the paint and condition is the only special thing about it where as the pig with all that bling will be porn ! All the good things one one bike .
It would take a lot to make me sell the frog tho

Re: 2nd Anniversary
I guess I'm really sick as I bought mine back in 9\97 and still have no intentions of replacing her
Add more bikes, no problem but get rid of it, never.

Loud pipes don't save lives, knowing how to ride your bike will save your life.

I've had my storm 9 months and 9 days now.. I'd never sell it..
I've only done something like 100-ish miles on it over that time but it really sells itself well
But I'd also never ride it if I carried on at this rate



Slowly approaching the more bikes than birthdays achievement
Re: 2nd Anniversary
Five years now. Well, some parts are still the same as when I bought it..... Actually I can't think of any... Horn?
Maybe the .... No, I did something to that.
Perhaps......
I'll come back to you on that one.
Anyway I bought it ages ago.
And I'm keeping some bits of it.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
Re: 2nd Anniversary
iv only had mine since may and I cant think of anything id change it for and iv been a bike whore to the point iv lost count of the number of bikes iv had on the road since 1980..in fact these dam bikes iv got under my skin to the point im looking a scruffy one over winter to build as a play/track bike..
the older i get,the faster i was 

Re: 2nd Anniversary
Had mine 11 yrs now, and the only reason I can't sell it is I would never get my money back
