Not got a Storm?

Post by Mav617 »

A few of us have had/want Storms, but have either moved them on or still looking. So, if you don't ride a Storm exclusively, what do you ride also or instead of?

I have a Yam TRX850, and since the Storm went have also had an RD350LCII and a Yamaha MT-03:

I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!

I moved from the Storm to a 2015 V-Strom 1000. Nice bike, very much enjoyed it..

Image

Insurance bent me over too much though and barely dropped the price for the second year, so screw them.
Nowadays though I'm riding this..

I actually think it's more fun than the Storm was now that I'm comfortable enough to open the taps properly. sh1t off a shovel and it screams

I really should take some more photos of it. This is the one from the day I collected it and I haven't taken another full shot since :oops:

When I sold the storm I picked up a blackbird
Image
For every day use and longer runs .
Still go another storm for track days and early morning fun runs .
Image
So I have best of both now .
Had the bird 11 months and put 13k on it and I'm shocked I haven't done many mods to it .
Normally I mod the crap out of them in a few months but can't seam to want to do it to the bird
