Both video pretty damn awesome for very different reasons! Good finds

Well I've only been back on bikes for 18ish months after a 10 year gap after an argument with a range rover when I was 17 on my little 125. So yeah, I'm taking it slow and steady...for now! But the storms a tease, and the noise just eggs you on!

See I did just wonder if I was in to high a gear. I'm still getting used to which gear is best for what, only having been on my 600 which need's 2 gears down for an overtake. Couple that with the my first time on the storm I went from I think 4th to 2nd and whipped the throttle open and almost crapp...

Good find some interesting info to go with the interesting translation in places

Always hard to tune over the net and without know what has been done to the bike but by your description it sounds like you are rich on the top end. Is that something I can easily have a play about with on my own or is it a garage job? I've not done much mechanical work, but I'm always happy to giv...

I seem to have a knack of buying things with something wrong (like the time in thailand ) especially things with engines in them!

Well I'm a big ol boy so might up the psi a bit, but just having then at what the workshop manual says is soooo much better! I'm planning on doing Jamoi, best not have a slow puncher in both tyres :roll: I do have another question, when I'm sat at 70ish in top and I roll on the throttle for an overt...

So it's been a week since I start riding the storm and I've still be struggling with getting used to the steering. Thought it was just because I wasn't used to the riding position so wasn't counter steering correctly. Had a go on a mates sports bike, could get it to turn no problem. Now when the cha...

Welcome Nigel,

Just up the road from me. Good luck with the bike hunt!

Fitted the Mk2 risers that arrived in the post from Bigtiwnthing. Not had a chance to see how they feel yet as just as I finished it was trying to rain and the roads round me are filthy thanks to all the sodding farmers, so the bike got tucked away in the shed till probably monday now. Next on the l...

Another vote for Bigtwinthing, pleasure doing business with you

Tar very much, and don't worry about the delay...if they'd of come during the week I'd of been fitting them instead of doing what I should have been!

nice!

I've got the book's to read, but haven't started them yet. I always find books better the the TV series of films they spawn. But I'm really enjoying the TV show so don't want to risk ruining it by reading books first...suppose I could read the first 3 though?

It seems engineering books in general are expensive. I keep looking at buy the odd one as extra reference for the OU stuff I'm doing, but they're just to expensive. I'd sooner spend it on stuff for the storm!
