Glad your keeping it YMV. Would be a shame for it to go when you waited to get on it for so long-
I promise not to bring the chalk with me to wales.

Get your lass a set of love handles- I prommised myself never to use them, but since getting them for the thugs to hold onto, the mistress loves them to..
Don't hassle me
I'll get there at some time

Well the buyer backed out and I've had such little interest that i can't be bothered selling it. I'm hoping tyres will help, if not it will go when the season starts.. thought tyres should make a world of difference, i only like drifting when it's on purpose! :lol:

Installed a sissy bar that I got with the bike today. wombles ugly but hey ho! :P

Well it's gonna feel a bit different without the Ohlins. Lloydie has a nice low mileage standard shock in his cave. :lol:

I'm pleased to hear your keeping the Storm. :thumbup: I thought you would be used to a little back end slide. It when the front goes you have to worry.

I've done about 1k miles since the ohlins came off. The difference is minor as i don't require it.

It's when the back end slides without me asking or expecting it to that i don't like it, and it happens too often! Like i said, I'm hoping better tyres will stop that
