Cheers for your offer benny, but I am not in a position to be able to come get it myself at the moment :thumbup:

is no probs george mate.... tbh with those brand new tyres on cold wet roads...... 8O
when i do my tyres i like to do front or rear at least a day apart so im not slippy all over lol!
you be carefull on the first ride!

realistically, youre looking £60 in fuel to get back to yours plus train fare..... and a day off work.
probably cheaper (and warmer!) to get it dropped off! :thumbup:

I know what you mean. I changed the tyres 4 times on my old storm before parting with it, and on three occasions the ride home was in the wet 8O

I don't mind the back end slipping about but I can't get used the the front going :sick:

The cheapest train (off-peak) is £95 and will take 5 hours assuming the 3 changes go to plan 8O

After two years, 4 x Operation Storms and 20,000 miles, the beamer was taken away today. It's a sad day as I loved that bike. :sad2 :sad2 :sad2 :sad2

Those that have seen me ride it (especially Benny and AMCQ46 through the Elan Valley) will know just how at one we were with each other.

I hope I can build a similar relationship with the Tuono when It gets here :thumbup:

Bye bye friend

yeh 130 and 160+ top end.
mates got one and it goes like stink!
and wheelies great!

theres a nice airbox conversion and a chip you add to get them over 140.
have a look on the mille forum for a guy called dr mille - he makes the chip :thumbup:
i'll ask my mate for his addy and a link for the airbox mod

thats the airbox on the mille - same set-up

I read up about that mod on T-zone. If your mate is a mod their, get him to activate my account. Still can't post. Might need to if I need any advice.
