A few months ago I sold my heavily-modified slabside 750 ratfighter and bought a '97 Firestorm from a fellow Visordowner. It was a bit tatty, having been dominoed at some point, but it ran well and had new Quill cans fitted, which clinched the deal. Unfortunately a mishap on the home with a dodgy ratched strap saw it scraping down the tarmac once again, but the damage was only minor and with a bit of heaving it was back on the road again.
I've now been riding it and loving it for a few months, and apart from a few wiring glitches and a tendency to never have as much oil as I put in yesterday, it's fine. Passed its MOT with flying colours and will soon be shod with a new set of Metzeler Z6s on the previous owner's recommendation (currently has Bridgestones fitted, the rear is almost shot, and I'm not a big fan of the bridgy characteristics on this bike).
What do I have to do to be welcomed into the fold? Buy a round? Complete the initiation ceremony? Pull down a policeman's trousers while he isn't looking..?
Right, now I've said hello, I'm off to post my very first ever question in Workshop (if I can't find the answer via a search first ;) )
Might remember me from the Mem Meet at Coalville.
....good to see you've got a decent bike hun xxxx
