I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Post by LotusSevenMan »

Can't keep a good LSM down!

I have a friend who is changing his VTR for a BMW BOXER CUP bike so I had first refusal on his 'Storm.
Had to help a mate raise some cash didn't I? Hee hee :D

My write off is the one on the left so I am having the one one the right (logically!).

Yes, that is the correct registration and I can 'borrow' it as it saves the transfer and retension fees for my mate. Good eh?
The registration will have to go back to him sometime but for now........... :D
The bike has basically all the mods I did to mine (I tested them, then fitted the same stuff to his bike) so I only have a few things like the lowered footrests etc to sort it to 'my' spec!!!!!

Tony.
I made the mirror extenders myself as I couldn't stand the looking-at-my-elbows view. Gave me no confidence at all as to what was behind etc. They were 100mm longer than std per side. Looked a bit 'different' but worked brilliantly. Gotta make another set now!!!!!!!!!

Hope I'm doing the right thing.
Collect her tomorrow night. Still nervous as don't want to go 'down that road' again if you see what I mean!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excited though so hope that 'V' thump helps get me back in the saddle OK.
