What's next?

VRRrrooooom!

A good rider!

"What's next "
Build a stage 1 engine :-)

Californian superbike school, trips to the nurbergring, 4 day Spanish track day events, and if you are tiring of the storm, dare I say it, a change of bike....

Gotta be cams and high comps.
Then learn to ride it all over again....

As much as I'd like more oompff from the Storm, I just can't get excited about the ammount of time and financial input required to extract maybe 8 - 10bhp, I think a deposit on the new R1 or RSV4 would be an exciting way to spend a wedge of cash

Doesn't stop me taking an interest in the various "stage 1" builds going on though and I admire the enthusiasm for an ever improving dyno sheet

The black bike is going nowhere without me sat onboard

I'm tempted by one of the new sports bikes, which would make more sense on trackdays and spirited rides, but the Storm is a keeper now, I've never owned such a individual or made to measure bike. Which also happens to be arguably the BEST ROAD BIKE EVER!

Black Storm is done, except from small refinements and maintenance...

The project is over!
















Now, where's the key for Smokin' Joe...

You have worked your butt off Jamie and the bike looks great.

Iam am a bit late but still want to make the butt end a single seat with nothing behind it. Moving house and work commitments have slowed me down a bit. I like it being different and will get it done this year. As you have said once you sort the suspension there great bikes. mine has all the good mode done so seats just a thing i want to do to make it different. Looking forward to many runs out and meat ups in 2015
