Been having a nose through the boards recently after buying myself a Firestorm a couple months ago.. thought it time to say hello... Hello
Picked up a '98 model earlier in year and although not the best example.. I like it. Have fancied the Firestorm since someone who lived near where i used to work had one (good few years ago now), just loved the sound of it and finally got one. Found it local (ish) to me. It's had a slide down the road at some point which has resulted in a change of colour and a crappy paint job plus the CCT's are now rattling like there is no tomorrow.. other than that It cleans up very well, everything works as it should (with the exception of the CCT's) and it rides nice as well as straight. Paid £800 quid for it, 40k on clock came with some service history plus a few spares... extra double bubble screen in blue, locks, spare front tyre and a spare seat which has been re-trimmed nicely. Gonna rip it to bits in the morning though.. looking for a cleaner looking bike so it's a good look over plus service, CCT's are already on the way (will do the stopper mod) and then a paint job. Nothing fancy, all the panels will be the Audi colour Abyss white (nice and bright) and going for a blue anodised look on the wheels. Carbon fibre hugger and front fender extender then just a few blue anodised bits, fluid caps on h'bars, h'bars grips etc to add a bit of colour here and there... all being well will then be ready for summer... not to mention a run to the IOM TT's next month
Been riding bikes on and off since a kid but in past never had any mates on 2 wheels so never really been far on a bike.. or at least no where worth going lol Been a single parent for years too but now kids are older.. well time to relive my youth a bit plus ride my bike properly, all being well will start this summer by getting out to some meets and shows etc plus I got a few mates who have swapped to 2 wheels over the past couple years so now there is no excuse. All being well may catch up with a few of you guys along the way too
Will post some pics of the bike as it takes shape
It's got to the point that over the past few nights it's been keeping me awake at night, and on that note it time to go bed and lose some more sleep thinking... brain in overdrive lol
I phoned up a local shop pricing parts and was told off by the guy on the phone for riding it (didn't realise the seriousness of the problem at the time) haven't used it since, well not until today.. New CCT's now fitted and carbs balanced... followed your guides, excellent
