Anyways as I have to use the bike until they sort out a van for me I have a 40 min blast along the A2, so this morn I had to fill up & there just happens to be a shell garage about 1/2 a mile from the office. Pulls in, fills up, go in to pay. Just commin out the door & this bloke commin in says ''Is that your Firestorm mate?'' Yes I reply,(thinking oh no he's just clipped it or something!) ''Oh man get the CCT's sorted out'' he says '' mine went the other day & I had to scrap it, only got £200 for it, I was gutted, had the bike 4 years I bloody loved it, was told it needed a new engine, couldn't find one for under 700 odd quid, £1000 + to repair blah blah blah'' So I told him I'd fitted converted manuals, no spring no problem. Stranger still was that he knew about the reg/rec mod & had done that but not about the CCT mod. Mentioned VTR.org & he wasn't aware of it. So it would seem that another one has bitten the dust & will end up in a breakers somewhere, shame eh?
