After months of hardwork, lots of bruised nuckles and many new tools later my storm has passed its MOT. The only downside was that the garage had to strip the front and rear calipers..Â£300

i would like to say a big thankyou to everyone on here for the vast amounts of help ive recieved over the past few months! In particular:

Sirch
LSM
FSM
Pete
Beamish
Alan...prolly some more sorry if i forgot you!

o and timbo for his post count banter taking my mind off riding!

Riding with rensports now and i have to say, even in the wet they seem to be really good, still early days and theyre not really scrubbed in yet so we will have to see.

Thanks Guys!

Nice one Squiffy, glad you are back on the road. Its all good experience and if you have to do some work on a bike in the future it will be a breeze

Well done Toby (Squiffy) at least you got there in the end

Also as Beamish says, you've gained some good experience which can only come in handy in the future

Well done M8.

Does seem a lot of money but at 50quid an hour + parts etc I guess that works out at................ still a lot of money. Still, done now and let's hope the weather gets better for ya to test her/him/it out soon!!!!!!!!

Nice one Squiff
