Firestormin and Pete.L

If I head up via Bristol way, then I reckon Banbury might be a bit of a detour too, so are you still OK to go up via A-roads or are you thinking of M5? Feeding hole sounds good

Also, what time are you planning on setting off?

I dunno... When I were a lad, Moriawaki only did proper engine intrernal tuning goodies, like for my old Moriwaki Z720... wot a tool... then had an 810 kit for the old 'Z'... loads of torque for its day. None 'o this fairin malarky!Still, all this reminisin does nowt to advance yer wheelyin techniqu...

Well, boy did I have fun! Still fekin useless at the 'off the throttle' second gear wheelies, absolutely nowt, but decided to keep trying the 'slip the clutch' jobs and... whoo hoo! Now, you got to understand that my prowess as a 'wheelie god' is somewhat in it's embryonic stage (er... just been con...

Err yeah, they are pretty 'mean' lookin...

Just bin readin thru all of the posts (yep, bored!) and gotta say, I just have to go and practice wheelies! Only ever managed a few first gear power ups and the odd clutch feathering 2nd gear job, but nowt to write home about! So all this talk of 5000 revs in second and dipping the throttle off n on...

Hi These were on my storm when I got it, but I have the receipts and they were 350 for a set. Braking is excellent (with braided hose and decent pads). http://www.digitalized.co.uk/vtr/ck_vtr.jpg http://www.digitalized.co.uk/vtr/waves.jpg Says on the receipt 'wave' discs - of course, that might not ...

Cheers Wayne, it looks like I'll be heading up towards Bristol to meet up with Firestormin and some others. Thanks for the offer tho' - now you can relax about having to ask the missus!

Hi All I'm definately in, as long as it's not totally chucking it down, cos i'ts a long way from Dorset in a thunderstorm on a firestorm! So, any one else from this far south up for an early start? Otherwise, I'll try and meet up with everyone at Banbury for some grub. Can't wait to hear the noise! ...

I suppose I might be speaking for a few of us here...
Does the fire at the museum mean the gathering is off??? or is another venue in the offing?

... geography's gone up it's @rse... bet Surrey ain't nowhere near south - in relation to Dorset anyway. Still, might cross paths...

Hi Steve

I'm in agreement about the roads and the weather! If it looks like clear(ish) skies, then I'll be going. I'll post something nearer the day to see if we (and any others from the southern regions) can meet up on the way.

I have Hagon Shock on my Storm. I can't say if it's better that the original 'cos I bought it with the Hagon unit on. However, I have no complaints about the handling. Bloke who had it before me had the forks fited with Hagon progressive springs too and they are a bit lower in the yokes which all ad...

I could be up for it.

Anyone going up from Dorset way?

I had a radar detector once and it just made me paranoid! Kept going off at traffic lights and other areas where some IR device was present. Basically, leave it off round town (shouldn't be going balls out round there anyway :wink: ) and it should be OK. Mine didn't get Gatsos till you were past the...
