Hi All,
I could hardly believe my eyes, in MCN this week they have done a write up on the Firestorm, actually stating it as a "top value buy" I thought the report on it also pretty fair although to short. Whats your view?
cheers Chris.

Haven't a a shufties yet, but there is an older review on the Storm on the website, which after test riding a Storm last year convinced me to go out and buy one.
The only thing I would disagree with in the article, is that they say to leave the suspension alone and stick with the stock settings. The front end rebound is far, far too soft and the rear to hard, for me anyway. So with that in mind, I shall be off to KAIS in Atherton, Manchester very soon for them to do a ride in, ride out twiddle with it and see how it benifits the bike. I have already hardend the front rebound which I feel is better, but I am not confident enough to tweak the whole lot, better for me to leave it to the specialists, rather than experts as in my experience an ex is a has been and a spurt is a drip under pressure!

Yeah nice of them to do that for me seeing as I chose that week to put it in MCN. Been down the eBay route in the past but didn't get up to the reserve. Sold it for a good price no bother.

Count yourself lucky then, this weeks "freebee" supplement bike review isnt quite so complimentary.... "a definate bike from the 90's" they'll make their minds up one day!!!!
