Mother Nature clearer prefers the yellow Storms. The bugs are all attracted to my bike over others. Even when the bikes are parked & the bugs are alive! Rode about 75kms getting up to about 120kms/hr (following a copper) today with a ladybird on the front of my screen! Didn't budge the whole trip.

VTR seems to be a bug magnet, the screen on my bike seems to funnel them straight into my visor, had a few bee stings too (now usualy wear a small facemask: just dont go into banks, they tend to get a little stressed).

Looks like a neat bit of road, we have roads like that too.

Do the saddle bags get hot being so close to the exhaust ( i have a bag system that zips together on a packrack, but often would like extra room and have seen saddle bags for sale but wondered how much clearance there would be above the pipe).

GREAT PHOTO

Nice try, Rincey, but not all ladybirds are red. The one that hitched a ride with me was just as lovely a shade of yellow

Addit: Dunno why my quotes aren't working...

Bit of a trade-off then, eh? Well if it's one or the other, I vote "Gallery"!

I'm with GCS on the teal colour, you see it's a covert colour, people think you are on a 30mph zimmer ride out, only to blast past them with them thinking WTF was that hehe

red, yellow, black, just so common, common, common lol

Looks like we have a helmet in common, that means I must be as stylish as the Italians

Anyway, lets put this colour debate to bed.

Bike was in for it's MOT today and was sat outside the shop for about 30 mins befor it got taken in. Parked alongside a few R1's, gsxrssss, blades, a mille r, a tuono with more carbon fiber than you could shake a stick at , red ones, yellow ones, black ones, blue ones and a few other blinged up shiny bikes. Guess which one got the most attention and admirers ...........................the orange firestorm

Get it up you all
