I guess i missed a whole lot of fun! no worries though im gonna be back for some more .

The biggest advantage your bike has over stock is in the hills. When i did the Nilgiris climb enroute to Ooty boy was i riding a cycle of wat! I missed the power delivery of your bike beyond words on the hills. Storm had to be at high rpms constantly at all times till i finished the 36 hair pin bends.

Your bike was the perfect tool for such a ride!

Hehe, true. I appreciate good bikes. Joel's is certainly the best in my books, any day. This is not a biased opinion. Like i said, its best experienced and i'll leave it at that, and i've tried my best to describe it as it is.

Imagine the fun if it was a very peaky setup, hypothetically speaking. I would be jumping with joy. It would be a 4stroke rx on weed haha. Powerwheelies etc etc.. im getting carried away now!

But Joel's got it absolutely spot on with the entire set up.

I call mine storm because it induces climatological changes haha not because its any faster. 'Bull' was in reference to 'bullet thunderbird' due to the torquey nature of things. The only difference is that bullet spins out the rear, while upshifting to 2nd under hard acceleration, whereas joel's bike doesnt do any drama and lays down all that power on the road, in a smooth, gentlemanly fashion.

Damm i miss Joel's bike each time i ride mine!

thats one bike i would love to rip!!

btw do we get that wool in the market??

^^ glass wool

joel- piston mod to compensate for higher lift/ valve clearence?

and more....

yup! glasswool like the ones used in mufflers which you can wrap around.. not the loose powder..
do we get it in the market??
