Really sorry to read and see this. Been there and it ain't fun. Storm looks worse than you so hopefully you can eBay the parts etc. What a bu**er. Take care, and hope you mend soon! All the best LSM

Think you'll find that's LSM (LotusSevenMan) not LSD. Too much information????

Sorry, but in effect I've sold my 'Storm? Will go by the w/e. Why? Well I have three motorbikes, two scooters and a Caterham 7 sports car. Mileages last year:- VTR between MOT's - 266 Ductai between MOT's - 70 Royal Enfield - Zero Scooters (both) - Zero Caterham 7 - Zero See, I'm wearing the poor VT...

Two teeth more on the rear I found the best. Much better at slow turns/town riding. 1 tooth down at the front has a similar effect, but the chain turns through a tighter radius creating more wear on the links etc. Not a major thing but it also means that the axle comes back further in the swing arm....

Refitted the 13 years and 9 month old battery after a really good off bike charge and fired her up. Seemed OK and was loud enough with the straight thru cans but is so quiet (OK, relatively) in comparison to those carbon cans I fitted to the '916'.

Anyway, thanks guys and gals and at 52 I am feeling that retirement seems a...

I actually had a component fail yesterday morning after passing the MOT fine on Saturday. What part? The battery! I mean it is the original on a bike first registered in May 1997 so it hasn't even made 14 years old yet! What is the world coming to if a battery won't last, well, at least sixteen year...

Be careful with the 'standing-bike-up-and-filling-tank-to-brim'. Has caused me a few stoppages 'till I figured out it screws up the tanks breathing ability. Leave an air gap of not-too-much and you'll be OK. Fill it totally to the top and it create a vacuum situation!!!!!!!!!

I thought it a good show too Boss! You can see where the directors thought this character of Guys could be in terms of another style but similar Fred. I met Fred when he was at the Kent County show and he came round looking at the Stationary Engines; one of which I was exhibiting. Had a few words et...

I have bought a couple of sets before now and they are top quality.
