Do I need to get the lathe started up?

So many questions.... so many.... lets see how it all goes first.

I believe it was Harold Wilson that coined the phrase 'a week is a long time in politics'.

A week is a long time in Weeksy's garage...

[Nordboy]

How about this one ..... you'll fit on it no problem, it will be comfy and no problem keeping up with the others on the odd day you decide to ride it or even take it on track just for shits and giggles

12 months ticket, half decent tyres and its got the blue spot calipers so decent brakes too ....make him a cheeky offer and i'm almost tempted myself if i am honest to upgrade to the 1000cc but my 600 Fazer does what i need of it and just turned 40,000 miles

I really can't see Weeksy on an Frasier 1000, but you never know.

Should i contact the seller for a sales commission

[weeksy]

Well it ain't that one.

I bid £1300 on the Silver Firestorm. But he's not replied either way yet

Still a sports position

[KungFooBob]

Bit of a project maybe?

Good shout. But very much a no from me.

I'm waiting to see what the £1300 offer in the Firestorm does and we'll see from there. Obviously as it's bloody cold and horrible it doesn't matter right away

[KungFooBob]

I hope the 'Storm plays out ok, but I'm still going to keep looking

Spot the odd picture out.

Never heard of one before but it's a cool thing

[Dodgy69]

Just beat me kfb. I like that, bit different.

[KungFooBob]

IIRC they over tuned the 650 twin a bit too much and they were a bit fragile, but I'm sure Weeksy wouldn't be bothering the redline :p

I had one of those about 15 years ago (way better nick and cost me 2k iirc), same colour even.

Without question the most disappointing bike (given looks, Ducati name, reputation) I've ever ridden.

Never even heard of that before.

I'm sure at the end of the day it's just a fairly boggo budgetish 650 twin. But it's a Laverda with an almost trellis frame. Love it, looks way better than 2k

I thoiught you didn't want sporty?

I had a Firestorm about 20 years ago, it replsced a VFR750 and a CBR600. It was much less comfortable than either of those despite fitting higher bars and an aftermarket (Corbin) seat.

I know some people love them, but I couldn't get on with mine and sold it at a loss after 18 months - and I used to keep my bikes for 4 or 5 years
