No, the other one's the nice one.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Rob, you're a liability to yourself :lol:

I can see why you couldn't resist, it looks like a well sorted Storm 8)

You are just helping Rob to overcome his bad decision and keep his bike in your garage for a while until he take it back. Didnt that happen with the yellow?

i had a real good check over it this evening, fitted a wee fork brace i had just because i had it. and a fork spacer..

its not fancy dancy type of bike but a good solid bike with some nice sensible mods on it..

the yellow left me, to a friend then came back, stayed a while then another mate bought it who then lashed it up the road on gravel so its getting sorted far as i know..mmmmmmmmmmmmm i wonder would he take a bad price for it :eek2 :eek2 that yellow bike has a great donkey in it.

You see?
You weren't going to mod it, but now it needs a Brembo rcs19 master, and while you're there a Domino qa would sit nicely next to it.
You might as well finish it off with a Titax lever, but then you'll need one for the clutch side as well.

Hmmm. A radial clutch master would keep it balanced, and the clutch slave might as well be upgraded if you're going to the bother of bleeding the clutch line- which would need to be a braided one, with brake lines to match, natch.

Etc, etc, etc......
