Cheers chaps!

Standard CCT but stopper mod on the way - RR I've not checked yet but it's second only to CCTs on the list.

PS: Anyone got a red seat hump/cowl/pod/WTF such as what they don't need no more?

Holy bing bang, ding dong, wing ding, schping schpong, lacka wacka hoo ha! I got my ass a storm baby!! A late registered 2000 on an 02 plate, picked her up from Kent and navigated back to Hampshire by the simple maxim of "Keep the sun on the left" and what a ride! https://farm4.staticflick...

85-86: RD50M Hooligan! Wore a denim cutoff over a leather and thought I was the b@llocks. If only I could go back in time, slap myself in the face and say 'DON'T!' 86-88: GP125 Thought this was super fast! Old school so 15bhp baby! 88-89: GS550 Fell asleep on this once -Had to crash. How not to impr...

If it was nearer I might go haggling but it's just too far off. TBH I don't really want a rolling project but I can smell spring in the air and have been planning a trip to the Pyrenees this summer - it's like the biking equivalent of beer goggles. I just need to be a little more patient, learn to r...

Cheers for the advice folks - I'd be hard pressed to call it cheap so have walked politely away.

Hi, been looking at a Storm a bit away from me and the sellers been decent enough to send some pretty honest pictures as I really don't want to travel unless I'm pretty sure. The only thing I can really pick it up on is a bit of rust, on an oil line forward of the gear shaft and on the subframe to t...

Cheers

Hi folks! How's this for the rod this mod needs? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/8mm-Aluminium-round-Solid-rod-bar-x-330mm-long-6082-T6-/191087179381 Also, not 100% sure on what distance is being measured for "A" Is the gist to get a length of rod that will completely backfill the gap inside the...

Sincere condolences Lee. And seriously you've got nothing to apologise for. Glad you have some good people around you who talked you out of a rash decision cos I'd have hated to be the one that bought that bike now I know where you're head has been at. Besides, secretly I am a bit of a tosspot messe...

Great road to Alton from basingstoke, i used to do that and go to Alton train station cafe, then down to Winchester through Four Marks, a great twisty bumpy road. That's a sweet road. It's good biking country round here - even got that Pompey nice and handy for continental access. Welcome, from one...

Welcome to a fab forum. Ive seen a few of us in Hants, what area are you in? Basingstoke mate, home of the awesome roundabout infested ring road. And just about every road out of town is a blinder too...partly cos they're all dead twisty, mostly cos they're roads out of Basingstoke. ...you talk a b...

Last bike was yellow so probly skip that for the change. 19l is a must though - had a Bros 650 many moons ago and that sucked to commute on as I had to fuel up every other day = done with small tanks.

Hi, Info hunting brought me here to learn the fundamentals of VTR ownership and I have already learned so much; Teal? NO! Expect to get all elbows deep and generally James Herriot on whatever I buy for reg/rec and CCT purposes ASAP ( as soon as purchased ). How or spot a 19l tank. Really, don't go t...
