Congrats on buying your new toy Karl. Agree with you that drag racing is more fun than the twisty stuff. I've just fitted a 60 horse nitrous kit to my little brother's 'blade, so next time you fancy going to York let's play :twisted: I know that every one else drags 'busas but then that means they m...

Marty,

Are you still looking for wheels or have you managed to sort some yet? If you still need some drop me a line as my insurers are taking my 'storm back and it seems a shame to let her go with what appears to be good wheels!

Cheers, Bruce.

Sounds good to me, but not too early as I need time to either replace or nail my bike back together first! Anywhere with food is good for a meet, lets get some suggestions in, for me some of the best roads are over on the north east coast but I guess the southern contingent don't want to ride that f...

Evening all, coming home from work the other night, minding my own business and some car driver decides not to look when coming out from a side junction across 3 lanes of traffic........you guessed it, one very sick looking Firestorm and one very pi**ed off me. He hit my front end bendind one fork t...

cheers, just been looking at my local RoSPA group, think i'll join - probs be a larf. If ya fancy A trip to Manchester, I'll take yer out for the day. I used be an Observer with the manchester group. We'll have ya peg scratchin before ya know it. As the fireman said, it'll cost ya a butty. We just ...

Hey Kitch, I've bought cars that have been insurance write offs before and never had a problem, I've also had a mate at work who owned a repaired bike for a while. When my insurance company sort my damaged CBR out I also intend to buy it back off them and fix it up for winter. Just buy it as you wou...

I didnt realise until after the M.O.T, but the tester was making conversation and asked me how long i'd owned the bike and my address. Both these points of information are on the V5, was he checking ? If so, then are testers asked to do this ? :roll: :D :D Yellafella, No your tester should not need...

Everyone seems to be moaning ( from magazines to web forums) about the new MOT system, well don't 'cos it really makes no difference to the test. Firstly the computerised bit is just a way of entering the information as opposed to witing it out by hand, what the bike fails or passes on is still up t...

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I wasn't too badly hurt although my poor old cbr doesn't look too good. Bloody taxi drivers, " sorry but I just didn't see you", " well no you wouldn't have I was under your front bumper!". If nothing else it prompted me to buy a 'storm and s...

Hi all, Just bought myself a Firestorm after having my CBR6 written off by a taxi last week! I've always fancied one and looked at loads in the past so after my accident I thought that the best way to cheer myself up was to take the plunge and buy one. I'm now the proud owner of a 1999 black ( being...
