Re: Handling issues - doesn't want to turn in....

I used my front tyre right down to the bear minimum this summer and as soon as I had a new one fitted the bike just seemed to be on rails into the corner's. I hadn't noticed that it had become that difficult but once I rode out of the garage, even when scrubbing in, it was an amazing difference. Che...

Re: MotoGP today

Re: winter maintainance

It looks like it was wrapped in bubble wrap in 1998 and unwrapped for me to buy it in March this year. Brakes are ok, got braide...

Re: A special sign..........

If santa brings me one, it'll go in the garage so I don't forget which side to park my bike :roll: - otherwise it'd be not much short of neon sign saying bike thieves this way!!!!!!!

Maybeee, if they hadn't used the slow dodgy yellow one and had used the cool Black one the Firestorm would have done a little better and come in first instead of second :biggrin

Thought I'd better not be rude

Hello all,

Bought my Firestorm in March this year, only just found the site, been out enjoying it too much obviously!!

Anyway, already put my name down for OP Storm 2010

When the weather's too crappy to ride the Storm you'll find me green laning instead.

See you around
