The Silver Surfer

Yuh huh Tony, thought of that one but realised I don't surf! Neither net nor wave... What do you think of the bike though? You like?

[SVTONYB]

looks great JB, I came so close to buying a hornet when I bought my sv

seems like yesterday but just realised it was 6 yrs ago

[Jillyburd]

Mr Jillyburd's had a fair few nasty probs with his SV and is a tad fed up with the machine at the mo. I'm of the opinion that the SV650S is a bike for a fair weather country as all the problems Tiger has encountered seem to be due to the lovely Scottish rain, snow, ice and salt on the roads. Despite the endless cleaning and polishing after riding the bike he still has problems with corrosion and rust. Anyhoo, he's a dedicated type of chap and will persevere regardless. I however, have a Honda.

Well really you know on here it's going to be "hairnet" anyway don't you ?



Cheers Mark

Brilliant! I will insist Mrs Tiger says it every time she leaves the house!

As for my problems with The Finish Vs The Weather, I always new The Weather would win in the end...

Lovely bike Jilly, looks nice and tidy!

Did you find that one then, or Mr Tiger surprise you with it :smt055?

[Jillyburd]

Mr Jillyburd totally surprised me with it! I had no idea, totally blew me away and gave me palpitations about riding a 600 after a 125!

I will master it. Eventually...











...when the weather improves

Well done Mr Jillyburd :thumright:

Now just make sure the wee one gets a nice mothers day card and you'll be able to give me a brownie points loan!

I've been working all day and partying all night in Cannes at the VMworld virtualisation conference this week, and come home very tired and useless after abandoning Mrs Ralph in single parent mode, so I'm not flavour of the month..:-#

Nice choice! Hooligan tourer :smt028
