Yes, any portly in a Storm outing.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

lol.. seems fitting :P almost. I am more of a portly "young" bloke.

The only pic that I have is the one that was in the add, which is really a sad excuse for a VTR picture, but I am going to post it so you guys can make fun of the actual color of the bike (I will take some decent pics this week end).

There ya go. I agree, its not ferrari red or lamborgini yellow, its more middle age daddy, family of 5 sedan blue. And thats exactly what I want. Low profile. when the key is not turned on the ignition that is :twisted: Then the colour changes to furious blue. I redlined it today! I was on camden road heading for camden high street and revved it hard between the yellow boxes of death. 9500? 10000? I could get my triumph to 13000 so it seemed a bit short for what I was used to but it pulled like a train. Dont know how the front wheel stayed on the ground...

Camden red 3 lanes wide going up hill from the Holloway rd towards camden , that's where I got done by a copper with a speed gun :(
It was back in 1999, they got me hard on the brakes, but still doing 80 in a 30 :oops:
6 months and a trip to court later and I walked away with 6 points and a £350 fine, I was lucky, I should have gotten a ban, I have my solicitor to thank.
Be careful as they sit at the top of the hill :shh:

Welcome aboard Young Portly Sir. Surly that's the quote of the year so far ! well done for pointing out the true meaning of blue Storm ownership.

If you do take up Martys offer of a pootle over to the east end for a look over your bike, make sure you choose a day when Carl's there, you might get some sound advice then...

Otto, if you go when Carls there you'll probably end up with your bike in bits and a taxi home.... Dont do it !!

However. if your bike needs pebbledashing, he's your man :thumbup:

That's very harsh Lee. I wont hear a word bad said against Carl & his mechanical skills. If he does take it apart it goes back together in the correct order & working !

BSM on the other hand is a certified mechanical numptie of the highest order ! Unless you want all your botls N bits removed, cleaned, polished then placed in a large receptacle & all mixed up...then he's ya man...allegadly, apparently, so I'm told... :wink:
