just found this site and already a bit excited.
Hello all - from near Milton Keynes, Firestorm owner for last year. The first bike back onto after 15 years off them and I absolutely LOVE IT! A 2000, black beauty, standard apart from Viper cans.
Prior to that in descending order Ducati 907, GPz900, HOnda XT200, GPz500, GPz305, SuperDream, KE175, KE100 (awww!)
Anyway, currently fretting about cam chain tensioners etc due to tappety chattering going on and what back tyre to replace a Michelin Pilot Sport with.
See you around maybe

Oh..............

Cheers all
The Xt - that's a lie. Can't remember the name, orange Honda 2 stroke trail thing, they made a 125 but this was a 200 import. All I remember it was X 'something'. Fab bike though for getting around London, kept it 'til it fell apart.

Welcome.
To keep your Big Vee Grin, change the CCTs asap and I can say that the Avon Storm 2 Ultras are absolutely brilliant. (They've even got a wee "Storm" logo pressed into them - quite apt). You bein just up the road, maybe a run around the sweeping back roads this Spring/Summer is in order. Viper and Harpoon - bet they sound like Pantera's Rhythm section side by side.
