New Storm rider in Lincolnshire

Hi all.

This looks a great site for all things Firestorm.

I'm Hondo and I ride the great TT 'esque roads around Lincolnshire. I actually met another VTR1000 rider and member at Willingham Woods last Wednesday. He had a streetfigher modded storm.

My Firestorm is a bit of a race replica to be honest. Purchased it a couple of weeks ago after just fancying it and carried out a few mods. I have had many bikes since 1979 (approx 84) but this is my first Honda V-twin and I like it. I had a an Aprilia Tuono previously though and that was a beast but the Firestorm is just as much fun to be honest. I'll post a pic as soon as I get around to it.

Thanks and I hope to contribute whenever I can.

Welcome to the club Hondo, lots if important infor in teh workshop section, have a good look at that and make sure you sort the CCT's as a priority #1.

Post some pictures up and hope to see you out and about.

84 bikes in 31 yrs............some might say you are scared of commitment :lol: .......even if I included all the rat bikes we used to have on the farm when I was a kid, all my dirt bikes, and my road race bikes, I dont think I will get far beyond 20 in the same period..................some might say I dont like change :P
