New to SV's and new to this Forum

[Vince650]

Hi everyone,

Thought I would introduce myself and say hello.

Ive just bought myself an SV650 and signed up to this forum.

Only had it a few days so far and I must say I love it, absolutly perfect for my commute from North London into central London.

Anyway so, not sure if I need to go through any kind of humiliating hazing ritual but I am prepared just incase.

Do your worst....

Oh and here is a picture of my bike! Its got a Viper can on it, sounds perfect and scares pedestrians.

Welcome to the org ... hope you enjoy your stay ;-)

We don't embarrass people here ... we are mostly capable of embarrassing ourselves* from time to time so that should suffice :)

*just ask Plowsie what he does with his feet whilst riding ;-)

Hiya and welcome.... someone will pm you bout the ritual very soon !!

[Vince650]

Ive added a picture now, as you can see its neither pointy or curvy!

Dont like riding faired or half faired bikes through London traffic at all.

Wotcha mate. The hazing ritual involves a standard SV can, a bucket of swarfega and a diving mask. Once you have assembled these items (or before, doesn't matter which), head down to Soho on a Friday to say howdy. Or come along to The Ace Cafe this Sunday, as a few of us will be there too.

By the way, if anyone tells you I'm a deviant, tell me their name and I'll do unmentionable things to their bottoms.

Actually mate that's a naked curvy. Pointy and curvy refer to the general shape. Up to 2002 they were your shape, all curvy. After 2003 Suzuki realised their mistake and made them all lovely and angular looking!

Then some deviants realised the error of their ways, started crashing like loonies and buying Kwaks instead!

Thanks!

I see I have managed to haze myself with an embrassing lack of SV knowledge, though I did know they changed in '02 I thought that the curvy faired ones had a different riding position to the naked ones?

Yup, higher, wider bars and lower footpegs on the naked ones (IIRC).
