considering we've had the warmest year since records began, not many of us have found the time to ride, even tho I did trips to devon, wales and spain, I still don't think I've done more than 3000 miles... :(
breaking my wrist hasn't helped tho.....doh!!!!

Quite hard for me to tell really, I had a translogic dash fitted and it was not fitted correctly so I read the same miles as before ....0 miles
But On a plus side it showed 256mph so I reckon I've got the fastest storm in the world.
Long and short I need a new dash best get saving me thinks :end:
if only your bike had stayed reliable, you would have covered 5000 miles in spain.......... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
wasn't your speedo reading over 300mph at one point....... :eek2

I really think I shouldn't have, or rather I don't think I'd have wanted to.

T'is very good. Still the best bike I've ridden, it's flaws are starting to be noticed but meh. I'd still rank it as a much better bike than the VTR (although I would still like another at some point).. I'll know better once I've done the Germany tour on it next Summer what I think, 500 mile days :D

ACF50'd the b8stard. I'm not going to put it away like some sort of fairy :lol: I've got my new textile jacket arriving next week and I'm debating whether or not I should get the trousers now.. She's gonna be an all year thing, same as the Storm was.. I intend to get my moneys' worth before I trade her in after it's paid off :p

far too few.... of course, my bike spending 4+ months in the shop during prime riding season may have something to do with it....

6k this year, 7k last year. I don't commute though, it's all just for fun.
The first 3 months of this year were spent rebuilding it and refreshing pretty much everything, which was also a lot of fun :)
