Storming in!
Hi all,
Newbie here. First of all I want to thank every single user on this forum. Thnx for all the usefull (even the not so usefull
) posts about the VTR. VERY helpfull in my quest building my personal Firestorm. Especially Tweetie's posts 
Short intro, my name is Robin (27) and living in the east of Holland. Had alot of bikes before and now I'm back on the Storm, my second one. Sold my old project to Revelation (already introduced over here). The one with the full 600RR front fairing. After a few other bikes I bought my VTR last winter as a project bike. And now I'm finally finished. Almost that is. Have some minor problems that need to be fixed.
I'll post some pics in a bit.

Beautifully done. Actually it is one of the nicest street fighter that I've seen. Did you get your inspiration at the Bull Dog Cafe?
I spent a bit of time in Holland many years ago. It happened to be at the same time as the queens birthday. I never seen a national party quite like it. I was in the eastern part as well, touring a small brewery; dam good beer.
My wife who is all of 152.4 cm (5') felt a little on the short side. Seems like everyone is over 180cm including may of the women.

Yes a sister is in the making
I recently bought my 3rd firestorm. Its an ex race bike.
Needs "a bit" of work, but plans are to turn it into streetfighter this winter.
Already have some nice parts underway.
So will take her apart soon and send the engine to Roger Ditchfield for overhaul. He can restore it to full glory and 130hp!

Oh my god. VTROM for damn sure. I love it. Thank you for sharing! Now the REAL question is: whose CCT are you using?
EDIT: Seriously did not see divingindaytona's post! Curses, I was beaten to the punch!
