2nd Anniversary

Post by T8ull »

Bit of history for me, since 1999 I have never kept a bike for more than 18 months. So the firestorm ownership has gone the full term, now 2 years. So that says something. Well I did add to the herd this Summer, but that takes nothing away from her. Must Vac bag her up in the next few weeks.

.........So far, so good, so what!

Steady on Lloydie, that's also just over 2.5 years...

Anyway, part with which one exactly? Kermit or Piggy?

If I had to part with one it would kermit as the paint and condition is the only special thing about it where as the pig with all that bling will be porn ! All the good things one one bike .
It would take a lot to make me sell the frog tho

I could only part with mine in exchange for an SP.

I guess I'm really sick as I bought mine back in 9\97 and still have no intentions of replacing her :wink:

Add more bikes, no problem but get rid of it, never. :thumbup:

I agree :lol:

I've had my storm 9 months and 9 days now.. I'd never sell it..

I've only done something like 100-ish miles on it over that time but it really sells itself well

But I'd also never ride it if I carried on at this rate :( :( :lol:

Five years now. Well, some parts are still the same as when I bought it..... Actually I can't think of any... Horn?
Maybe the .... No, I did something to that.

Perhaps......
I'll come back to you on that one.

Anyway I bought it ages ago.

And I'm keeping some bits of it.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
