Looks like I've sold the Wee-Strom

  1. And my street fighter went last week. Next cab off the rank appears to be an
    ST1100. Any one here owned one? Got any tips? I'm going to have to buy a
    white helmet and hi vis vest and scare the shit out of cagers. : )

    They flex in the middle if you change line too quickly (does that help) :)

  3. Yeah my main riding seems to be touring and commuting so it should fill the gap
    nicely. I only took the Strom off the beaten track a couple of times so it
    seems to be a waste having it spend all its' life on tarmac.

  4. Knowing someone who has one - and did that - it's only fun for the first
    week.

    Then you're hit with the realisation that every bastard on the road
    peels off at least 10 kph (regardless of whether they were exceeding the
    limit or not) thus slowing you down to a frustrating crawl.

    Drivers/Riders start behaving very erratically when they think there's a
    police presence following them - and erratic equates to dangerous.

  5. As it turned out they were asking telephone numbers for them at auction so it
    looks like tomorrow the only two wheeled transport I will will either need to
    be pedalled or a 50cc scooter. Boooooo!!!!!
