New to the Firestorm scene

Hello everyone, I have just bought a 2000 Firestorm off a very nice bloke called Robert Moore, I believe some of you will know him already. The bike is just as good as I expected and i look forward to have discussions and hopefully some answers from being involved in here.

I am in Tewkesbury Gloucestershire, so if anyone is in the area give me a ring if you want to go for a ride sometime.

Kind Regards

Carl Roberts (crrb1) :) :)

Welcome to forum. Sounds like you got yourself a bike that has already had the niggles sorted out. Get yourself a phtobucket account and get some pics up.

Stick around here and you can't go wrong, plenty of advice and guidance and members willing to help out. Have look over in the workshop knowlagebase and start planning your mods. :thumbup:

:beer: :beer:

Hey welcome! I'm only in Evesham so I'm sure I'll see you round!

Have a look at Gloucestershire Biker's Nights on Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/Glosbikenites/ ), if you don't know about it already! There's a ride-out most Wednesday evenings around the area :)

Have fun with your 'Storm!

Thanks for all the messages, I have already been thinking about fitting a headlight cover (black, on ebay for £15.99) and a hugger, can anyone recommend one or know anyone who has one to sell? Oh and also thought about a clear rear light cluster and I am after a decent bike cover if anyone can let me know a good brand.

Have you got a photo of the smoked rear light cluster or is this the one above?? I will have a look at the Oxford ones, I have been looking on ebay and the good ones seem to be around £50+

Hi Carl and welcome to the forum :wave:
I`m just down the road from you in Churchdown. As Snakebitey says, get yourself along to the bike nights on a Wednesday (The Fleet Inn at Twyning this week......weather permitting!) There were 5 or 6 storms out last week.
Cheers.
Tim

Welcome to the forum Carl. R&G covers are very good fella, and often come up discounted.
