Haven't really ridden Red since the night before GrainStorm & that was only up the road to test a few things...

One of "tests" wouldn't have been an aerosol would it?

I can't possibly coment...

I had to pop out this morning to get a small amount of building supplies, luckily it could all fit in the top box of the bike, so I managed a quick 100 mile blast to the coast and back, the bike was faultless and it put a big smile on my face.....

so today mmmmmmmmmmmmm fitted the quick action throttle.

how did that go you ask .

well took it out a spin ,to check it. then the next line was.

well officer you see i honestly didnt mean for that to happen . after some major bollocking and told not to be a silly old man he let me go.

i fecking LOVE it.

love it when they let you off with a bollocking....... well worth the blow job you had to give him

QAT is the best single and also cheapest upgrade I've done. Yeah, simply love it! (but I've obviously not "tested" it as hard as you did)

the throttle, lightened flywheel and an empty tank caused the issue in second gear

Added some weight to the sp2. a nice 2 piece carbon chain cover from this German blokey. Thought I'd better get it ordered before 23rd, while we're still on speaking terms.

No Storm stuff listed, though he seems happy to make stuff for you if you ask nicely, he offered to make some heel guards for my Harris rearsets.

QAT should be standard on these bikes otherwise it just too much twist of the wrist. For some strange reason I think the Storm gets a bit of respect from Plod. Not sure why, maybe it because they don;t come in Gixxer colours.

Not done anything the last couple of days as the weather has been pants. Tell a lie, I did give my two pack paintwork a quick rub down in the rain the other day ready for a 2nd coat. I now need a dry day and some heat.

Last nights Sunset

I like the different grades of the clouds going from light to dark and the almost hidden aeroplane you captured there Carl

The weather here had been rubbish just lately too
