| | Posted : 17 Sep 2012 - 08:41 Post title : New Storm colour scheme | | | The 2013 Storm now has a matt graphite (dark grey) version. I saw one at my local dealers today and I got semi hard. The photo doesn't do it justice. It is so much hornier in the flesh.

Now if they just got rid of the fugly twin headlights I might well be tempted. well, in theory at least.

| | Posted : 17 Sep 2012 - 14:34 Post title : Re: New Storm colour scheme (Re: mjgt) | | | I almost ordered this one earlier on. But I just like the blue and white so much I asked if they would swap my tins for the grey and put my single headlamp on it - which they would. But then I got to thinking I would just have the bike I have now and £5500 less in my pocket. All for 100cc. So its the big bore and another bike instead.

...yes and the Storm is for big boys Mat
This one is nice in the flesh, and the Storm's twin headlamps is twice as good as one in my neck of the woods.
Mine might be getting a lick of custom paint this winter.

or used as an undercoat
black is for men.
authorative and powerful, true primordial void
( no wonder cars shift aside promptly, who wants that approaching menacingly fast upon them, worse than the reaper)
it is mysterious evoking possibility and potential
colours are for women.
twin lights, love em
like the powerfully emanating eyes of Thor.

| | Posted : 03 Oct 2012 - 20:45 Post title : Re: New Storm colour scheme (Re: BATMAN) | | | I looked for months at the two black options. To me the gloss looked better in the flesh than photos and the Matt looked better in photos than in the flesh.
When the Graphite became available my problem was solved, so I bought one. Picked it up last Friday and I couldn't be happier with colour.

Thanks for the welcome guys, yeah Jimbo already gave me a heads up re: The Tottenham and Walcha rides.
Hopefully I'll make the Walcha ride next year and I'll see how I go with Tottenham, but i've got heaps on up untill Xmas.
