Don't feel too bad Pinky, last year I sold my beloved Storm as my neck and wrists couldn't take the strain anymore (old age creeping on) went for the KTM 990SMT still a V twin with loads of grunt but upright seating position very comfortable and takes luggage. The last longish journey on the Storm was 130 miles nearly killed me could hardly get off the bike at the end. Best so far 260 miles on the KT got off without even a sore elbow. Do feel guilty about the Storm but needs must etc.
I was born with nothing and I still have most of it left.

As a no-longer Storm owner, can I echo the sentment about this forum being more than 'just' Storms. Over the years I've had a fair share of laughs and tears from this site. It's all about attitude and I guess anyone who's got/had the soul to love a Storm (for all its foibles) has got the right attitude. Keep it up y'all.

As for Road Tax - doesn't exist here in France. Nor MoT for bikes. :D
