I see where you are coming from there Kev.
I've just been looking at the police report statistics and they've never had a blue storm reported stolen :D
Apparently, police don't know if this is really the case or owners are too embarrased about owning one inthe first place.

:Show elbow:

:Whistle:

It's far from unused, and stop thinking about it you perv. I don't want parts of me to be inside my foster mother, that would be weird

Today saw the return of the mille to the roads :biggrin

Covered 110 miles, mostly country twisties with a couple of towns. Feels so odd after being on the big bird. The mille made me feel big as the bike felt tiny. It is so much better in the bends and it's good having it trying to snap my neck in half under acceleration. Found myself dragging my knee round bends and generally having a good blast.

Loads of bikes out today but none of them wanted to play :( found alot of them to be pompous gits though as pretty much all of them I gave a nod and I only got 3 back. Must have seen at least 50 other bikers. What's wrong with people these days?!

Other than that a great day out and well needed :thumbup:

The storm felt like an agile little race bike after my week on a ZZR, it's good to go between bikes :D

We were out and about Derbyshire way today. Got a biiiig thumbs up from a Golf driver but absolutely no idea why... Got overtaken by a yellow storm too :oops: had the girlfriends parents following in a car so couldn't play. Plenty of bikes out and about though, good day :thumbup:

So that's why they didn't play. They were too worried about me crashing and wiping them out :roll: :lol:
