Hi all :)

Post by althefish »

Hi all,

Good to be here!

I'm Al and I'm looking to buy myself a Firestorm as soon as i find the right one. It seems such a fantastic bike for the money and I do love V-twins ;) I've just started looking so any advice would be gratefully received.

See you soon,

Al

Hi Al, I am also Al, so that will more likely confuse me.

Good luck with the search

You won't be able to reply until you have 50 posts.

There was a red one parked up at the Brands Hatch entrance earlier today at the BSB round, with a for sale notice on it!
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

welcome to the forum Al, try and find a bike with manual cct's and a finned reg/rec, a well loved storm doesn't have to have low mileage, prices vary hugely from sub £1000 upto £2500, try and get the best one you can afford, late model bikes with the bigger fuel tank start around £1600/1700 but for a minter you have to pay around the 2k region, happy hunting fella... :thumbup:

Alright, who broke into Lloyd's account? :lol:

Welcome to the forum. Don't let the colour wars bother you too much, unless you love a good argument (in which case go nuts! :D)
