G'day from Australia

Post by 2wheelsagain »

G'day all.
I picked up my first Firestorm and first Honda since 1982 just before Christmas.
She only had 16000 km on the clock but ran like a bucket of poo.
I got the PO down in price and rode "Scarlett" the 160km home hoping I had done the right thing.

Anyway a carbie rebuild, fork seals and new brakes later she's coming along nicely and pulling like a 14yr old school boy.

I hope to learn a bit from you guys.

Thanks for having me.
