A newbie in the Midlands
Hi everyone,
I bought my first Firestorm today. I only decided yesterday, so it's all been a bit quick.
You all seem to love these bikes, I hope I can get to a meetup soon and see some of you face-to-face. I shall be asking lots of questions because I don't know much about this bike except I'll have to fill up more than twice as often as I'm used to and to listen for cam chain noise … but I do love a V twin.

Welcome to the forum rin.
My advice is to study the workshop/knowledge base, some very good advice and urgent maintenance to take care of such as CCT's and rectifiers etc.
Very friendly people, hope you enjoy your stay

Re: A newbie in the Midlands
Thanks everyone,
I'm in Solihull, but work in Oxford 2 days a week.
I've bought the bike from someone who hasn't been able to ride much for a while so it's only done 17K miles and it's a R reg.
I had a look at the mods, I think I need pictures …
