Ha, it worked, pictures are up. Right I've stuck my location up, I'm in Beckton east London, quite often pop over to rykas, the Ace or anyone of the usual bike cafe's. If anyone is near me give me a shout and I'd be more than happy to meet up and say hello.

Good trip out on 5th july, read the Ferry, ice cream,bi-planes and pizza thread. ( maybe the wrong order)

Thanks for the welcome everyone, yes I'll look at that thread, always up for a ride out. I run a meetup club with a mate of mine where we organise ride outs on a week end for up to 25 bikes, decent group of people on a big variation of bikes. I may have to think about organising a Firestorm owners only ride out once I get to know the bike a bit more and get used to riding her.

Trip looks very interesting, may well join you on this. I'm actually tail gunning a ride on the 6th but its only a short one to do the Burnham bends with a blat through Essex, depends on if I can get another day pass from her who rides pillion when allowed

Will let you know for definite by Monday.

Welcome aboard sir

Ahh, I see a man with the most superior taste, welcome to "The fast black brotherhood"

I just noticed you are heading to Burnham on Sun, I happened to be there on the Sunday just gone

Firestormerz · Post by **Firestormerz** » Tue Jun 24, 2014 10:32 pm

Yes I'm a sucker for go faster black, even my black Kawasaki is faster than the green ones

Firestorm looks ace in black with red, my next favourite colour is the yellow. Yes Burnham, quite a few people in the group we are taking have never been to Burnham so we thought it would be rude not to show them. Theres a lot of rides coming up now, Melton Mowbry roller coaster road, Herne Bay, Oxford tour,Chilterns tour

Think I got the storm at the right time

Awesome! My Storm is also black and red (best combo obviously).

When you get to Burnham, check out Bradwell and the joining road towards Maldon if you haven't before.

Also to whet your buddies Burnham appetites, show them what to expect: http://youtu.be/u3h-qr5TEqU

I don't like watching backward facing videos, I also dislike helmet cams, as the rider checks the clocks and generally moves there head to much, for me its has to be a tank or fairing mounted forward facing camera....

definitely up for a tea at Berts, good to hear about mechanics, I've used Charles of Howard Powells for years, for complex jobs needing hooking up to diagnostics Etty Tylers or my mate Dave Wilkins but he's in Kent. Would be interested in your recommendations.

Ooooh the fastest black

Nice.
What crach knobs are they? Do they require fairing drilling?
