Hello all,

just thought I'd post a quick hello as a newby.

I own a 97 Storm in red which I've currently got stripped down to get the bodywork, wheels etc cleaned up and straightened out a bit.

Gutted to be off the road with all the recent weather tho!

Cheers,

Benny K.

Hi Benny,
Welcome to a great site!
Just to let you know one thing,RED is the fastest colour so ignore any body that tries to tell you different!!

Thanks for the welcome guys.

I'm afraid it'll be staying mainly red, although with a few white bits here and there. Speaking of which...

I've got mine at the powder coaters too... I've heard a few scare stories about the bearings and also the tyres not sealing properly. One mate told me to leave the bearings in and fabricate caps for them but i just took them out and asked the coaters to mask off the centres. Didn't mask the inner rims tho; do you reckon I'll have constant flat tyres??

P.S. Got a whole new set of SKF bearings - front and rear - for about a tenner (Â£25-ish from Honda...). If anyone's ever interested, give me a shout.

Oh, P.S.

I think Crossroads is a little bit before my time, but wasn't Benny the gay one??

Thanks all...

By 'common' you mean like a tart/whore? OK, I'll avoid red then as Kaz guessed too. Thanks for the advice Sirch
