Got a bit un-nerving at Donington :? and was very scary at Pembrey 8O Current storm with 6mm dropped and rogered forks, 6mm ...

Had one on my old CCM, well made and a good halfway house between a road legal can and race can. Don't be fooled into thinking it'll be as quiet as a std can tho, the CCM had quite a bark to it but that was a big single.

You can actually take the storm to the point you continously saving it on the knee, it just depends on the surface and the rider! Who are you trying to kid? you'll be telling us that you can get the rear spinning up and smoke the tyre next! :roll: :roll: The footpeg in the pic was on my 1st storm, ...

I had issues with electrics relating to the ignition switch making it hard to start (I couldn't kick it over either!) Th...

Bear in mind that blade forks need reworking with stiffer springs etc, you'll be better off getting the std forks up to Revolution for a fork tune a cheaper and far superior option.

Might sound a daft question, but are we talking just till the light comes on or near empty?? My light comes on around the 95-100 mile mark but I can usually only get about 11-12ltrs in so that means there is best part of another gallon in there before it runs out.
