Duc glasgow is a nice shop to browse around, not very big but usually some nice bikes, never seen a storm in there before.

Thanks guys

The bike is just in stunning condition one owner, ohlins rear shock, steering damper, pipes, etc etc.

It just ticked all the right boxes.

I took it out for a run (not the best weather for it on Sat) fantastic drive from the bike, fueling was spot on, and a nice sound from the cans.

To be honest i wasnt really looking to buy but once I rode the storm there was no turning back. Its been 4 years since i last had a bike so its a nice way to get back in the saddle.

I look forward to joining in with the forum, and getting out when the weather improves a bit.
It's here.........

Got me wondering how a Storm would look in tartan... :?

Good to have you along for the ride, Slim, even if you did pick a red 'un.
If you ate yourself would you become twice as big or simply disappear?

Thats how I ended up with mine. What started out as a blagged test drive ( I only wanted to feel what a twin was like) I was hooked. Had to have it :D
Anywho!! :D Welcome on Board :D

now, you don't quite obviously understand air resistance, as red is nice and shiny it cuts thro' the air better, as is subsequently faster :wink:


glad to see you've joined the decerning membership :D
