How much abuse?

Post by grumpyfrog »

So, after loosing faithful Blackie last year, been keeping an eye out on what's for sale.
Now the question :




How much REAL abuse would I get if I got a teal one?

Personal abuse from you lot I can handle, but bike abuse I'm not sure I can take! :Argue:

You won't get any abuse from me because you can always paint it red. :)

I know I could be labeled as an arch teal abuser but at the end of the day its blue & yellow mixed together so worst of both worlds...

...er sorry, I mean at the end of the day it's a Storm. If its a good one & the right price whats not to love...


Also lets not forget didn't you used to have a teal mudgaurd on Blackie once upon a time ? :lol: :lol:

You just run along and get the bike no one will say a word
Watty had one and there wasn't as much as a bad word said against him or the bike :twisted:
told you not to but oh no you knew better

I've noticed there's some very tidy Teal bikes on Egay. Fancy one mesen, but do you think the low mileage on'm is because they dare'nt be seen on'm. Couldn't do with silver wheels,bright orange would suit. ?

I think it's a great idea. There should be plenty on low mileage, carefully looked after one's around and it's pretty obvious they would have never been ranted because they don't attract "That "sort of rider.
Go for it :thumbup:
and best of all, it will really make your eyes pop when you stand next to it in the sunlight :wink:

I bought a very clean, totally standard, well looked after Storm in teal. If the bike/price is right, who cares?
I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!
