Hello everyone, i'm no doubt going to be spending a lot of time browsing what appears to be a very fine forum so here is a little about myself:
I've been riding bike since I was 16 in 1994 and then racing bikes from 1999 to August 2003 when a big accident in the Manx Grand Prix on a CBR600 put an stop to it.
Nearly two years on and I'm having a few screws taken out of my foot which means I should be in the clear, what better excuse than to get yourself a new bike?
After many years of wanting a Firestorm i've finally got myself one, its a 1997 model in black. I'd never ridden a Firestorm before and the silly grin it gave me on the test ride was something I haven't experienced for a long time.
I'm already tinkering and trying to get the bike as standard as possible, although it has been well looked after it has been fitted with silly indicators and rear lights, there was a time when I would of like this but now i'm getting on a bit (27
) I would rather be seen than squashed 
If anyone is coming over for the IOM TT drop me a line and we can meet up, i'll be on crutches so my new toy will be in the garage and i'll need cheering up
Thanks for reading
James
