Hi all

Joined today. recently bought off fleabay a 'nail' of a 2001 Storm. Reg/rec went in days of buying!!! Needs a clean up but rides a treat. New reg/rec screwed in and alt checked. All good!!!!

Cheers

Welcome to the club Les. Have a read through the bit's that need looking at to keep it reliable. Whereabouts are you?

hi and welcome be prepared for the banta dependant on its color

Hi Les..

Is a "Nail better or worse than a "Shed"....

I try and steer clear of either of them tbh..but with a bit of TLC I'm sure you can bring it back from the dead.

Hi cheers for replies

Colour of my nail is Teal. I think a nail is slightly better than a shed!!

Will be dedicating a whole weekend to in depth cleaning once the rain stops! Have spent the last three days ridding very carefully in and around the Portsmouth area now that the bike is running. Changed oil and filter yesterday - screwdriver thru the filter job!!

Cant decide if to take the storm to the isle of man TT or just go on my tried and trusted Hornet???

i think you will find if its running and has the cct's changed for manual ones etc not the standard engine wrecker auto's you will be fine.

"Nail"- when you have a puncture, keep the nail and throw away the bike......
