I had a FireStorm as a first bike (probably not the greatest idea ever - but there you go). The blue ones are faster, but FireStorms are faster in Yellow (Scientifically proven on the Dyno day a group of FireStorm owners here in England did in 1997 - the red one was down about 8 bhp on mine [ok, that was due to being a "grey import" which was restricted to produce less than 100 bhp]).

I see LNB finally got her bike- good going!

Whilst this is an ancient thread, it sort of fits that I include a picture from 2003- that's not far off the most recent picture I've got! The only catfish I've ever caught angling:

Nice! Was that in France?

We should start a new thread although it may be more appropriate elsewhere. Here's me with my biggest ever carp (and biggest ever fish, come to that) at just over 47lbs:

I was cold, wet and slightly the worse for wear after 1/2 bottle of Ricard and a long fight with the fish. That's my excuse anyway.

LNB - nice bike, looks just right for you!

Your carp is 10 lb better than my best French carp... yes, the baby cat was in France on boilie whilst carp fishing- I'd love to catch a big one, the 25lb fish I got was like an express train.

Thanks L Number Banana. Nice bike. Dont know too much 'bout bikes but anything that can accommodate a net,fish bags, rubber bands and a fish crazy person is an awesome set of wheels. ^:)^

Devious: Oh, yeah, well, you see, it's just that we're not, as yet, totally satisfied with the grounds of your claim.
Vicar: But it says something about filling my mouth in with cement.
Devious: Oh well, that's just insurance jargon, you know.

Yup, it's a keeper, that's all that matters. Fun for the track, sensible for the street and can go very long distances loaded up with fish gear. :-BD
No aquariums... b-)
Racing, shoes and fish. Nothing else matters. Oh, and bacon.

Hi Mats!
Yes, the little bundle of fun is a 2011 Ninja 250R. It's still carbs here but no problem, with our weather I'll have to use the choke a lot anyway. $13 of high octane gas gets me about 250kms. :d
Thanks for the track tip. They have a Ninja Nights here at the track but I haven't gone yet, still getting my shifting and braking down to a science. I won't be racing but I'll be on one of the best tracks with a whole bunch of other women riders.

There's only a few places where the 250's have a class of their own here but it's catching on. The bike is a riot, really active and responsive and now I know what you meant when you said that I could get my knee down with relatively little practice! It's like all the physics laws come together like poetry. The balance is incredible, leaning over isn't anywhere near as scary as I thought it would be. It actually feels kind of natural.

Can't believe I waited this long to get one.

Good to be back here.
My favorite bike I EVER had was a TZ250 it was a rocket ship.

did you by any chance forget any periods? as in, e.g., version 20.1.1.? if yes, that'd explain the "polished" look and hint that you are probably long-time married, Yann...

The older version had been long classified...;-) Always use the upgrade version!!;-)

I used to be married but it has been sometimes since I am not anymore..still doesn't mean I am single
I am lucky to share my life with a wonderful gf even if she is not into fish or reptile

Also I know I always have looked older than my look could suggest I am still under 40!!! still got a few years to enjoy before hitting the mark

I have been using Picasa for the past coupla years and I find it quite user friendly. The only issue I have right now is that they have linked it to Google+.

Why not attach it to the post? Alternatively, if you want a quick and easy gallery to link to, use dropbox. I'll send you a link or you can use this. Note: I don't think this allows hotlinking images - that's becoming something of an internet no-no.
