Hello fellow Stormers!
Hello fellow Stormers!
Good evening!
I've just purchased a FireStorm so thought I'd join the fellow owners and introduce myself!
I'm Jamie and I live in sunny Brighton. I'm 5 days in to owning my first storm and have to say it's a massive upgrade from my Suzuki SV 650S!! I have a lovely black storm, having done 19k miles. She has already had manual CCT's, and has aftermarket bars to increase the ride height. I've just ordered a Yamaha R1 Reg/Rec to replace the finless original, and have it booked in for a new chain and sprocket on Friday. I will be servicing the beast myself, found a pretty good kit of all the bits for a full service for around £80. She has the original exhausts, which don't offer much grumble so I'll be looking at changing them at some point.
Sure I'll be asking a question here and there, and of course will answer a few if I can offer any help.

Hi there,
I wondered what they were... I'm a fire alarm engineer, definitely not a police officer!

Back in the 90's Fast bikes gave away a sticker sheet that had the black rat sticker on it, just to share the love!
