I showed that to my wife earlier. Showed her OEM price (used) and then that. She said "what's the difference?"

I said.... "Its a bit lighter". Her look said it all.
:lol: I can imagine :thumbup:

But Kev is Mr Titanium that's the difference :lol:

The only problem is...........................................Kev's Storm no longer has a Firestorm front wheel :biggrin

Interesting adverts on Gumtree. Be nice to put the motor back in the frame! Maybe then tear it apart and leave it in a garage, ah Fab!

I'd say we've all had a look by now.

I'm pretty sure I know who this is. Certainly who used to own it at least...

I thought the same thing. Only the location and name of the seller clouded that.
Ooh this is my 10,000th post as well!

10000 well done mate! That's some going.

Yea the pic used for the carbs is the same one he posted here quite some time ago. The fancy gear rod is the same as are the rearsets.

Kev the last time this was brought up... By someone else... He ended up threatened and then called Police on me... Hard for me to be honest about it on here. Its not something I'll ever forget but something I'm over and I'm happy with the bike I now have.

I'd say the Rothmans was changed... Its hard to know really. Might just be another storm... And the other was split.

Fair enough mate.
The grey one has the Spondon frame, which the PB bike owned by he who’s name should not be uttered, didn’t have. The heads on that bike also look a different colour (black) as opposed to silver on the lump for sale.

The PB bike didn't have the Spondon.... But he did have a Spondon. 100 percent.

You can get them cheaper from the states, even with duty.
But then you need to buy rings, another hundred, plus head gaskets.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
