Bit of an update, most of you know, I bought my storm a couple months back and got ripped off, various faults needing mending, some of them dangerous.
Well after a couple of months tinkering, some bits off various members on here for very reasonable prices, I had my first actual proper ride today! Only up to Hereford and back (90 miles) but trying to keep up with a friend of mine who is a bit of a psycho! So we were 'making progress'. I wasn't pushing TOO hard as I have sh1t tyres (adrenos) and they are brand new, so will probably have to use them up a bit before i change to some decent ones due to funds and already spending way too much on the bike for how long I have had it.
But even so, we were hitting some 3 figure speeds on twisty B roads. Have to say I LOVE this bike, totally different experience from riding the deathtrap up the motorway from Cornwall. Rebuilt forks made it feel well planted, debafed cans had it popping and gurgling away and it really goes!
So, yes, I now see how you get addicted to these things. I am definitely in the club now!

Budget storm gradually on the road to spangliness.
