New member saying hello

Post by HillclimbAli »

Hi. Been pointed in the direction of this forum as a very useful place! I have bought an old Firestorm that I will be using to compete in some hillclimbs this year - first meeting next weekend. First time of owning a VTR so may ask some questions that have been asked countless times before; apologies if I bore anyone in the next few months :lol: Alison

Hi, Alison. One tip: make it lighter- for racing, these are a bit heavy.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

welcome to the forum.

for hill climb, I would get some flat bars on it and take the fairing off, then set it up like a big supermoto
