My Dobie is 18 this year probably not going to make 19, she was rescued when she was 2.
Her eyes just about work she has selective deafness and her back legs are wobbly but she still chases cats and rabbits through pure bloody-mindedness.
We have a Staffie X Collie as well she's about 4.

You do realise that Honda only sell loads as they sell C70's and C90's by the ship load in India, whether this is something to shout about I'm still undecided :?

A couple of summers ago the Plod around here had a purge on illegal plates. They would stop an offender and confiscate the plate, issuing the 3 points or what ever it is. Then the nice boys in Blue would wait around the corner for Mr motorcyclist to ride his bike past with no plate on, as he probabl...

My storm has almost the same setup as you. I have a dynojet kit fitted a K+N filter the same cans as you and I run usually with the baffles in as its still sounds good. I run 2 small stacks in the air box instead of one of each. I still have the inlet thingy as well as I was told not to remove it. I...

I saw a very nice Benelli tre-k amazonas in a bike shop a few weeks back.. more upright.. so might help my neck/shoulder pains. but will have to see how my new job goes :wi...

Remember Kitch with only about 200 yrs of their own history they have to be seen to be part of everything to justify their existance.

Radstock has some great lanes around it to play in. I don't go off that way often but I always enjoy it when I do. We have a few other Stormers around Swindon & Glousecester we'll have to have a little South West ride out some time and all get together. I live in Pembrokeshire now but spent mos...

I swear it goes better too, but I can't see how it can. When I changed mine a long time ago I was sure it went better. The APE man in the US of A reckoned it was cos the chain now had a fixed route and not a variable route with the spring in use. With the flexing of the spring the valve timing chan...

Some late bikes and those going to the states don't have a light switch as the lights are on permanent like. I don't know if its the same with storms but uk tornadoes have light switches were US bound ones don't.

My 148 was using the measurement of the circumference of my back tyre rather than a calculated value, just goes to show how a few mm can make a little difference. I used the kamware software.

I've been using 15/44 (one down on the front and 3 up on the back) for a couple of years now. I find it good, it makes the bike a bit more sprightly and no worse if not slightly better on fuel (mileage corrected of course). I use a sigma to keep track of my speed as it does throw the std speedo out ...
