Yup, many thanks for the seat, Job almost done now.
First run at a redesign is done, but it will go back to Tony A soon as I want the cover redesigned, but it sure is more comfortable with the gel pads in.

dont know what you can do about the smell, but to get it dry you need to open the phone up and take off any covers and teh battery, then put it in a bowl of rice [dry, not cooked or left over from the local takeaway]. The rice absorbes all the moisture, and the phone should work. I would then recomm...

Hello new from essex, we look forwards to learning a little bit more about you...........That has to be the shortest newbie intro ever.

but till then welcome

And I know it makes matters worse, but looking at the lack of damage to the screw head, it happened quite close to home! My mate is a builder, and when we load / unload the trials bikes into his van, I notice that screws lying around on the floor of his van sometimes fall out on the road in front of...

ill get some pics up soon / tomorrow Seb Any photos or feed back ? Having ridden mine at night for the first time in a long time, and running behind an R1, I realised how bad the std firestom headlight is! as long as I stayed close to him, I could use his lights to show me where we were going, but ...

2.30 thursday, riding out of town from Shirley on the A34, just went past my office distracting me from conference calls......just like school reports, "easily distracted"

New colour yellow storm and wearing an orange rucksack, was it any of youl ot?

Was about to reply to say my clutch is the same, [will only slip at low revs, at higher revs [or torque?] it justs grabs], but then read about your crash!!!!!!!!
That is a real sh1t, hope you are both OK.

OK, further updates. put 2/3 of a turn more on the ride height adjuster, but it is clearly more than a 2:1 ratio from shock length to rear wheel movement, as I could feel the bike much higher when I sat on it, and also the angle it leans over on the side stand was clearly changed. Steering was faste...

Never been stopped by a bike cop, but rode down to Portsmouth and then round Brittany for 4 days with 6 of the West Mids finest motorcycle escort riders. They like to ride their bikes just like we do.........if you stick to the limits in built up areas and road works, dont ride like a tw@, show good...

Welcome to firestorm world. Bike looks good, very individual.

Some of the iconic bikes for me: Triumph hurricane http://i734.photobucket.com/albums/ww348/amcq46/best%20bikes/triump_500.jpg CCM scrambler http://i734.photobucket.com/albums/ww348/amcq46/best%20bikes/ccm.jpg Ducati MHR http://i734.photobucket.com/albums/ww348/amcq46/best%20bikes/Ducati_MHR900_1983...

After a good thrash last week end I decided that I would have a fiddle with the suspension ride height, as I didnt feel like I had enough front end bias. Over the winter I had fitted Roger D modified forks, and dropped them 3mm, and I had fitted a WP rear shock with the adjustable ride height 3mm lo...

I can only agree with both comments SOme of the other Forums are crap as they become dominated by the "in crowd" and the rest of us leave if we have any sense! I have only stuck around 3 forms for just that reason, But this is the one with the best balance between supportive /helpfull /kno...

Twinrider. Like the sound of the aluminium beam framed CR500, is it in MX or supermoto trim? if MX I have to ask why, are you mad, do you like replacing rear subframes when it grips and flips?? if SM, yes you are mad, but I would love to try it on B & C roads. please post pictures Phil-VTwin, ve...

This was my first bike, which was bought new as a farm bike, but me (13) and my younger brother (12) wheelied, jumped and crashed it into a an early grave [but not as fast as Timbo!], whilst my Dad was still using it to r...
