hi to all

Post by Steve H »

Hello everyone,

Just joined the forum, owned my 98 firestorm in the most popular colour of yellow for just over a year now. it still puts a big grin on my face every time i go out! most of my riding is 2 up with the mrs, i do worry about her comfort but she assures me its ok. Not seen many others around to be honest, Sunday afternoons in matlock bath (our local haunt) there's usually just ours there. Anyway, glad to find this site, and i hope to learn loads of helpfull stuff from you folks, and maybe meet some fellow stormers !

yes, welcome Steve - maybe we could have a Storm Convergence on Matlock one Sunday, then you'll really appreciate the bike. i.e. by meeting up with some black ones first hand, then red, then blue, then some hairdresser blue, and maybe a custard or two :wink:

Even though it is red, what on earth was he thinking? Blipping the throttle and dumping the clutch is bound to do that on a big bike. He should sick to mopeds where he belongs.
