Picked my belated birthday present up (from me to me)
Went the long way home, Did about 100miles (Hereford/Leominster/ Kidderminster)
Had a smashing time no problems, and enjoyable throbbing experience, but I ached this morning !!
The bike is fairly standard (for now), Heres a couple of pics

I don't think the Teal on the wheels will help.
Welcome to the forum, looks to be a very clean looking bike. Has the front fairing had a re-spray at some stage.

Yes I think so as the paintwork has slightly reacted,somethink to address in the winter
How can you tell from the pics?

It's the non std stickers that give it away, but Carl also uses a magnifying glass to examine every picture in forensic detal
Glad you enjoyed the 1st ride and you also read the forum rules of having a wheelie bin in all bike photos

oh I see, just checked, stickers the same both sides so I wouldn't know
But the fairing has been apart at some stage as it hasn't quite gone back together right
as I said before, something to sort in the winter

It also has Manual cam chain tensioners which is good to see.

Yes, fitted last year and only done 800miles since. Do I need to do anything with them as theyre "manual"

Welcome along!
The Silver firestorms are 2nd fastest of all the colours, black taking the crown (obviously).
Very nice bike

Thats a great looking machine you have there .. I think that the
" Hi Ho Silver " storms are quite rare and you have quite a find there
m8tey .. all I can say is take through the cogs and let it have its head
bootifull .. then award yourself a
as a reward ( after your ride )
then stand back 2 metres and admire ... nice one
