On the road again!

After 8 long years...
Long depressing years, without no light, clear sky or warm weather.
And all that time the storm was rising. It was always there, but it needed long time until it gained strength from the winds blowing from the open roads. And the storm arrived with a blast, smell of burning rubber, sound of a thousand horses charging to the battle. And it was Firestorm!
Ok. Sorry about the poetic start. I just felt that after being 8 years without a motorcycle, I should say something more than: "Hi - got VTR, see you around..."
So here I am. Thrilled about my new (old) bike... And smiling like an idiot because you just got to love that machine.
Of course, with all the good, you need to cope with the bad bits as well. Which are too soft front, too hard rear, too low handlebars... But isn't that half of the lifestyle?
I am not calling this as a hobby. Jogging is a hobby, building model planes is a hobby, but all the work, time and money spent this is either bad case of obsession or a lifestyle (not to forget the urge to go riding, which is comparable to a addiction).
And not to forget the most important thing. Storm is Black. Black as it should be. Until they invent something darker than black... (I know that the red ones are faster, but I kinda appreciate to have a driving license).
Drive like a lightning!
