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.

Looks peachy, welcome to a very helpful forum.

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

Welcome aboard mate. VERY nice, the best colour and almost the same as mine. Your's looks nice with that screen, I am looking for a low one for mine, gone off DB screens.

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.

Great, i hope to meet the Guys at Winchester services etc, then maybe back to mine to drop gear off, then off for brekkie and a blast etc.

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

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

beckton you say, my old stomping ground, I know a couple of great bike mechanics in beckton, your only 5 to 10mins away from me in Shadwell...
we'll have to meet up at the high beech tea hut in the future....

Anyone else feel travel sick watching a video looking backwards ?

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?
