First Timer

Post by sharon4512 »

Hi I'm Sharon and I bought my firestorm a few weeks ago and have now had the joy of taking it out though according to some on here, it is one of those slow blue ones!! My other half has a GSX 1000 which everyone looks at when we stop but no-one is looking at his when they hear the thunder of my exhausts! It is an absolute joy to ride and I love it having a few problems uploading a picture of it though.

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Thanks everyone for the welcome will watch out for these non-blue owners eh! I am near Wolverhampton so plenty of nice runs out that are local though plans for Elan Valley were scratched on Sunday as the sun didn't shine until it was too late!
