picked up my 1st ever firestorm just at the start of winter so i havent even ridden the old girl yet.
shes a red 1998 vintage with 20k on the clock and a nicepair of loud race cans fitted (unsure of the make)
ive had many many bikes,in all different styles since i passed my test 27yrs ago.
recent events with covid etc meant i had to sell my 1200 bandit and zx12r
and for the first time since getting my lisence,i was bikeless depressed and lost.
last september i picked up a cheap vfr800fi,nice bike,but im a big lad and 800cc just wasnt cutting it,
and as ive long been a twin fan,i sold it and pounced on a bargain vtr.
ive always had rsv milles in the v twin camp,ive had 5 milles and 1 tuono,
but always strangely lusted after a storm.
i thought my mille sounded like thunder with a mivv gp race can on,
but heard a storm and a neighbours sp-1 (my dream bike) and they made my mille sound quiet
ive been looking through the site for a while,learning bits and bobs,and thought it best i registered.
looking forward to nicer weather and bonding with my new beasty,seems bloody ages since i last rode before winter.
cheers everyone.matt
