Hey,
My Storm (or do we call them VTR's?) got delivered last Friday. I managed to get out on it but sadly it developed a coolant leak so its gone back into the garage had one of the rads replaced and now its still has a leak so won't be back until Monday.
I took a picture of it before it went back (i have more but more of the defects on the bike that i want to repair):
I managed to get on for a ride on her, I don't have much to compare it to having only owned a 125 (cruiser) and a z300 (pictured above) either way lots of smiles on the ride out, seemed to have all the power I had expected and sounds so so amazing too. I've got a nice long list of things i want to sort on it, hopefully i can give it some TLC and get it back into good shape. My plan with this is to chuck a cover over it and let it be my garaged classic.

Looks very clean . Shame it has a leak already, but hopefully the garage fixes that.
When you say garage Classic, I assume you mean it only comes out on nice days and the z300 does all the commuting work

Re: New Bike Arrived
That is the plan! I'm hoping to replace the z300 soon with a tiger as i want to start touring.
Re: New Bike Arrived
Your VTR is looking great
Fingers crossed you get the bike back very soon with the leak fixed,
Chris.
