Rob, you're a liability to yourself
I can see why you couldn't resist, it looks like a well sorted Storm

Re: how did that happen
You are just helping Rob to overcome his bad decision and keep his bike in your garage for a while until he take it back. Didnt that happen with the yellow?
Re: how did that happen
i had a real good check over it this evening, fitted a wee fork brace i had just because i had it. and a fork spacer..
its not fancy dancy type of bike but a good solid bike with some nice sensible mods on it..
the yellow left me, to a friend then came back, stayed a while then another mate bought it who then lashed it up the road on gravel so its getting sorted far as i know..mmmmmmmmmmmmm i wonder would he take a bad price for it that yellow bike has a great donkey in it.

I think they've given up on swapping brides over there. It's now more about swapping rides
My new ride is a bit of a Howler and I love to make her Squeal
Re: how did that happen
hey welcome to NI lol.. we all share. its actually turned out to be a rather nice storm and was chatting to Lee about it and its had a good life with being well serviced. win win... all it needs is a decent master to drive the blade calipers and il be a happy bunny.

Re: how did that happen
You see?
You weren't going to mod it, but now it needs a Brembo rcs19 master, and while you're there a Domino qa would sit nicely next to it.
You might as well finish it off with a Titax lever, but then you'll need one for the clutch side as well.
Hmmm. A radial clutch master would keep it balanced, and the clutch slave might as well be upgraded if you're going to the bother of bleeding the clutch line- which would need to be a braided one, with brake lines to match, natch.
Etc, etc, etc......

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