I will not be defeated...

Exactly the right attitude. Think of it as having been presented an entrepreneurial opportunity!!

Best looking blade yet by a mile, It's just a shame the standard version has the same paint job, kind of makes it harder to see the specialness of the SP. . . . the buzz of the new blade is far up the revs and it'll be proper fast, dare I say too fast for the road if rev it to the fun zone. . .

Looking good Nigel
But be careful with those rimstripes mate, Mac is known to react aggressively towards reflective objects in trafic

Nah, he's inspired now. He's prepping for rim tape on Old Rusty!

Serious cleaning. Got the bins but no Storm (today)

Hi there, and welcome!

Thanks for that. I guess it's the same for the 50th Anniversary that has been floundering on eBay for the past 2 anniversaries!!

Tragic, not a drop of yellow in sight!!!!

I might have to resort to some C4 to win the battle...

Or WD40 .

Another one of these listed today. Also appears to suffering in the paint department

Poor Rusty. I truly hope you can at least recover costs on it. Perhaps the motor's worthwhile re-working as a good spare. Bit of head work, ports and valve seats and could even be saleable?

Did sweet FA today as it's mainly been rain on the Grain... Punishing weather in West Mids also. Promising for tomorrow & Sunday, & possibly Monday too. Perhaps we should make the most of it. I see latest reports of Covid's 'R' rating hovering around 0.9 - 1.1. As '1' is the trigger for re-...

You guys haven't met some of them yet...

Please give us a hint. Are they the proud owners of yellow Storms?

Similar observation from me too. Some forums I'm on and have been on have terrible cliques, nut cases, trouble makers, et al. Very strange that it's not evident here. Surely 'Stormers' aren't that rare a breed?
