My name is john im 53 and I've owned a storm for quite a time.
Last year I did my green badge with IAM and achieved a pass.
During this time I swapped my firestorm for a VFR 800 thinking the different position would help during long sessions of advanced riding, no chance, as soon as I could got rid and now have another firestorm. the knee, wrist and back pains are fully worth it.
The bike's in pretty good nick considering it's a 98 model with 37k on the clock.
What a relief to climb back on a FS. there is nothing to compare to the low down drive on this bike.
I want to change the cct's to manual and would like to go for the Bazza option, however I have no way of contacting him.
Please help.

Thanks lads, based in Sheffield.
Be nice to ride with someone else on a firestorm. I'd really like to hear what my cans sound like

so get posting :D

this isn't like most other forums in that there is a a very open, trustiung and helpful group of individuals, very little of the keyboard warrior types and lots of people who will go out of there way to help a stranger...... unfortunately a few new comers in the past took advantage of the trust and fingers got burned. As a result newcomers have to do the simple task of 50 posts to help integrate them into the community so we can all trust each other
