Hey all from Dundee

Post by Sweyn »

After passing my full test late last year, and then subsequently buying a nice Yellow 'Storm (My step dad had one when I used to have a 125, and I just had to follow suit) for my first big bike! I have loved every bit of it until I laid her down earlier this year :thumbdown:

I'm embarrassed to say the least. However, it was a relatively good crash (Only a broken collar bone, and minimal damage to the bike), if there is such a thing :lol: . That hasn't put me off though, and I'm in the process of rebuilding her!

Since then I have used this forum plenty to find out the certain quirks that these bikes have and even though I am a mechanic (Car mechanic at that), the instructions for doing the MCCT's by VTRDark were a must have! I have fiddled about in the past with my '89 Yamaha DT125R, but the 'Storm is a whole other ball game!

I look forward to getting to know you folks and having a laugh here! I would love to meet up in the summer if anyone is keen?

Anyway, I've rambled long enough.

Have a good one! Sweyn.

Cheers for the warm welcome guys!

Aye the healing is going pretty well, I was only in a sling for 4 weeks when they projected 6!

Thanks Sirch, I do feel like I have a nack at photographing cars and bikes. Certainly better than candids of the missus :lol:

Hoping to be back on the road by March (Call me crazy, but I've been itching at the bit to get back to riding) :crazy:
