Well my insurance comapany have come through in the end and I am getting a brand new Storm. The type and specification will be replaced for new on a like for like basis. My claim against the council for uninsured losses, helmet, clothing etc is progressing so hopefull I will come out the otherside no worse off (except for 2 months bikeless and some bumps and cuts).

Thunderbird 1 (25,000 miles)

Thunderbird 2 (2,000 miles)

Thunderbird 3

Awaiting delivery.

Another Storm will be finding it's way into my garage and making the tours I have booked to Bloc, Scotland and France and the events in Dent and Triumph Live. My year will start in March now by the time I get two wheels.

Just go for a Blue and white and have fun. Amazing what you will do for a new Bird.

Got them made up myself JB - airbrushed same style as my Davida helmet.

Have similar plans for Thunderbird 3 (and yes I'll try and keep this one for a while longer).

Fingers crossed he all gets sorted quickly!

If we make three claims in as short a time as you've had to here in USA , we'd be black listed or have varey high rates even if we're not at falt.

Only one claim big fella, the first ever on a bike and only 3 in my lifetime (one of which my fault) so insurance companies make good money from the likes of me. As do Triumph!
