hi boris, welcome to the forum, even if it has taken you a bit long to find your way here. You might now be the record holder for both the longest ownership of a Storm and the worst Internet searcher. Both these facts hint that may not be in your youth
Don't worry, there are a few of us on here that fit the same pattern. I have had mine for 10 years, found this site 5 years ago but didn't join till las year (I just used the workshop info and lurked!).
So I am only young in my head!

Yes you sussed me out, at 45 years young I am somewhat of a vtr veteran. Testerment to the bike though, after buying it new when they first came out the factory, only now am I having my first real problem with it. But if I hadn't had the problem I wouldn't have found this place.

Welcome to the forum Borris
When you said you'd only just found this site after 13yrs, I guessed you most likely only went looking for help once you had a problem, which is the norm for a lot of members. I see you confirmed my thoughts further down
That says a lot about a Honda Firestorm
