Been a long time since I've posted here.....
Threw my bike down the road around this time last year, embarrassed and gutted so just chucked it in the garage and forgot about it.
Anyhow I recently felt the urge, so got some bits off eBay ( it wasn't that bad and I can live with a few scratches and dings as it's pretty rough now after using it through 3 winters) and put her back together as cheaply as possible.
Managed to badly twist my wrist digging yesterday, but as long as it's not too bad I'll go for an MOT tomorrow. Hope she passes, had her since new (2002) and I'm now doing a 64 mile/day commute so looking forward to spending a lot of time on her this year.
Don't know why I Ieft it so long, only took me half a day to rebuild her!
Wish me luck!
MOT tomorrow.

Post some pics of your resurrected Storm - worth a thousand words and all that....
It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Re: MOT tomorrow.
Did around 80 easy and relaxed miles today. Bike felt like it was new. Definitely going to be used a lot this year for commuting.
