Nah. Ive just been watching some old videos and reminiscing. With the move and all there is no way I can afford one at the moment. I don't regret doing the deal I did, but I do miss it. Especially now my wheelies have improved!! lol

Would I swap the GS for one. Erm no!! But will I have another in the garage the moment I can afford it. Er..Yep!

I do too, if I'm honest. Sold it for an SP2, now have a 929 Fireblade.

Everytime I ride my storm trackbike I realise what a fantastic bike it is. Far more comfortable than my 929.

Although I do like this very much
280742026411 eBay.

1984 HONDA VF 1000 RE RED VERY COLLECTABLE AND RARE

It's old and expensive. A storm in similar colours would be better.
No bike (yet).

So I have set a goal this year to return the awesome GS and replace it with another common Firestorm. The only way I can redeem myself is to go for a Tahitian candy blue (you know the less common faster ones)

On top of that, I am hoping to change the kick start only DR for a WR250

None of this can happen until November though as that's the earliest I can return the BMW. Also it won't happen if the BMW return is cost prohibitive but it should be ok :thumbup:

So hopefully, Operation Storm II - Part IV - The return of the Storm should see me back on a storm!! :thumbup:
