My fire storm, wheels now all polished and forks polished, only taken me 2 years to get this far lol



Then it got knocked over in a car park, not a happy bunny

looking good mate.....

thats very clean looking .... like it

The lever went in the post this morning Tony.

really like those shiny forks

how s your back these days . it was you having back probs was,nt it

Not bad for a S plate with 55k on it
And all that polishing was done by hand with wet and dry I might add, finger tip were sore!

It is me with the back problem, saw specialist on Friday, disc has degenerated more, now on waiting list to have spinal fusion op.
Been given all the pros and coins, 1 in 700 chance of being paralysed, 70% success rate of op working, but only 50% chance of it working and pain going away. And up to a year before I'm back on my feet.
Only bit that scared me was the 1 in 700 bit
Can't ride at moment as back kicked off after picking up a kettle of all things at weekend so just keep polishing lol
Cheers keV

Those fork lowers look fantastic and I like the little bit of Red along the top of the belly pan.

Will admit more than a little scared but it all. Specialist basically said if you have anything you want to get done, get it done now as the window for the op is june-august. Between the tramadol and the morphine patches its great lol

I like the polished wheels and forks looking good makes my silver storm a bit bland.

You wouldn't believe how much its taken to get it polished this far, my poor fingers had open sores at one point lol, think when I'm back on track and sorted, swing arm will get it next lol
