Not the 'Storm but my old Laverda Mirage. First start up after heavy rebuild.

A bit hesitant and fluffy but at least I can start dialling it in now

Try a bit of oil at the knob end.

Tried this once, far more comfortable.....

Apparently the collector boxes like a good rust so check it...

Yes the exhaust's pretty scabby underneath - I suspect a stainless jobbie will be on the cards at some point.

I feel so much better for baring my soul and confessing...!

It looks in great condition,

Chris.

Most kind but believe me, my soul looks like the stains in a stripper's G string......

Recently picked this big old girl up. A total departure for me having never even ridden a tourer and I must confess, it's rather pleasant 🙂 Still love the 'Storm though even if the Teal paint makes it slower than a Harley on one cylinder... 😊 https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-2Tx4s3h/0/9a8f26c9/L/...

Happy birthday chap!

Bacon will forever be your friend.

Positively ghastly state of affairs...!

Happy birthday you cheeky young scamp!

I think I need to go and change out of these sticky pants......

Wasnt me. I've got a Teal 'Storm and everybody knows blue 'Storms couldn't even hope to get near 100mph....

Good times!

Absolutely beautiful! Congratulations to you all
