530, my record is 1000 miles in 16hrs, Calais thru to spain. pretty much zero traffic tho, but it makes it worse for falling asleep at the wheel. have a great relaxing holiday dude, hopefully we'll see you next weekend, iirc it's bude where the opstorm golfing challenge is held..... :lol: :lol: :lol:

You remember what the Navy tastes like?
It's like that, but older.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Lloydie you are a bad man. Go stand in the corner and say 1,000 times I must not shoot my children! At least you only used a paintball, did you see the 1 yr old lad in the news who's been shot in the head by an air rifle in Bristol. I feckin despair!

On a happier note I went for a very nice little ride today which again reaffirmed how brilliant the Storm is. Every overtaking opportunity is just taken, so easy, no dropping a cog or two, just open the throttle and instantly zap individual or lines of vehicles.
I haven't owned a four stroke triple, but I've had singles, parallel twins, two stroke triples, cross frame fours but this v twin is the dogs danglies. This bike is so capable in every eventuality, I can't imagine wanting anything else. Love it :thumbup:

Quality with a good ginger beer. Nice with a bit of Coke too.

i have to agree but sometimes, conditions dictate etc. The vibes kill my hands after just about 15-20 minutes now, i rode my mates Storm yesterday and wow it felt great until the fingers starting tingling. It was so bad i can't pull the brake lever hard enough. Thats frightening i can tell you, relying on a Storm rear brake. I have to be sensible etc and have realised twins are out for me.
missing the noise, not the vibes. However never say never!
