Can I still come and chat?

Sorry, but in effect I've sold my 'Storm? Will go by the w/e. Why?
Well I have three motorbikes, two scooters and a Caterham 7 sports car.

Mileages last year:-
VTR between MOT's - 266
Ductai between MOT's - 70
Royal Enfield - Zero
Scooters (both) - Zero
Caterham 7 - Zero

See, I'm wearing the poor VTR out!!!!!!!! Actually, a house move forces the issue and as the guy that sold the bike to me in the first place fancies it back; how could I refuse. So bike reg 'VTR 1 K' will soon be with Matt again.
The Caterham must go and probably the Enfield too plus the scooters once rebuilt (as another awaits me!)

Thanks for the memories good ol' VTR.

WOW, some tasty mods there LSM. Would like to know more about item 7+ and the straight through pipes if you ever have time.

[LotusSevenMan]

I only have a couple of pix 'down-the-can'

Basically, take a std Honda VTR can. Cut the end off VERY CAREFULLY. Remove all the interior pipes and baffles etc. Fit a perforated tube the right length. Then, very carefully weld the end can back on and get it all polished up so as to look just about undistinguishable from the original............... until you start it up!!!!

Not that close-up but this is the finished item.

It appears Flickr are giving grief to pix 'embedded' so not sure if you can access these or not!
