After passing my full test late last year, and then subsequently buying a nice Yellow 'Storm (My step dad had one when I used to have a 125, and I just had to follow suit) for my first big bike! I have loved every bit of it until I laid her down earlier this year
I'm embarrassed to say the least. However, it was a relatively good crash (Only a broken collar bone, and minimal damage to the bike), if there is such a thing . That hasn't put me off though, and I'm in the process of rebuilding her!
Since then I have used this forum plenty to find out the certain quirks that these bikes have and even though I am a mechanic (Car mechanic at that), the instructions for doing the MCCT's by VTRDark were a must have! I have fiddled about in the past with my '89 Yamaha DT125R, but the 'Storm is a whole other ball game!
I look forward to getting to know you folks and having a laugh here! I would love to meet up in the summer if anyone is keen?
Anyway, I've rambled long enough.
Have a good one! Sweyn.

Cheers for the warm welcome guys!
Aye the healing is going pretty well, I was only in a sling for 4 weeks when they projected 6!
Thanks Sirch, I do feel like I have a nack at photographing cars and bikes. Certainly better than candids of the missus
Hoping to be back on the road by March (Call me crazy, but I've been itching at the bit to get back to riding)
