hi all

Evening all

Just want to say hi to everyone. Joined about a couple of weeks ago, and been lurking and reading since then. Last week I collected my storm, here it is.....

Only a week on, and not many chances to ride it, but so far I love it. I had been looking for a new bike for a while and had considered a ZZR1100 or a Bird. The VTR seemed to pop up at the last minute, another V-twin sounded good. And even the CCT problem failed to put me off. I own a CBX550, that should tell you why!!

Anyhow, look forward to getting your opinions and advice on some extras I plan to add soon.

P.S. Nearly forgot to say thanks to yellafella, VTRgirl and Kaz for their help in the test area.....

Hi Robg

Nice looking storm you've got there.

it's a 'storm, it's bound to be nice... :)

It does look like a minter though, well done.

Need mine now!

Thanks all, same problem here John. Just not had the time to get out on it. so just like you I think that I have done around a hundred or so miles.
I also need to take a look t the suspension cos it does feel a bit on the hard side, country lanes aint too much fun at the moment.
