Re: Newbie
Hi guys thanks for your kind messages, unfortunately I'm on a budget and a mate of mine has a repair centre so he's only charging me the cost of the materials, the bikes currently silver with orange wheels but I'm going a high gloss black all over, my mate recommended the wheels the same but I'm unsure on these ? I will of course add a few subtle stickers, I'm a massive Valentino Rossi fan and I love the flourecent yellow that he's well known for so it may well end up high gloss black with a few subtle fluorescent yellow touches here and there, It won't be everyone's liking but I guess as long as I'm happy
As for mileage it's got 58k on it but looking at some of the others on the forum I'm far from alone and they all seem to be going strong still.
I'll post up before and after pics when she's all finished
Cheers Gav

Re: Newbie
Leg ends? That's feet, isn't it?
So a sort of pink colour, dirtier underneath?
I suppose it would grow on you.
Unless you meant the other end of the leg.
(In which case it would be a sort of pink colour, dirtier underneath).

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Re: Newbie
I did strongly think about white, but decided on black in the end.

Re: Newbie
Welcome to the Forum M8. Great bikes aren't they. Just tell folk on here you've painted it Red and that'll be the end of it.

Re: Newbie
Lol I take it there's lots of banter on the best colour then, tbh I've not seen a storm in a bad colour they are all pretty nice it's just black was my preference haha
