Welcome to the mad-house!

Keep your back to the wall, don't feed the animals after dark, and for crying out loud,, disregard everything Hovis says!!

I'm sure I know someone by the name of "davepreston"... just can't think where - maybe the wine is stopping my brain working. :( Am drunk!

Hi Dave, welcome to the site.

Yes we call the '99-'02' model Curvy's, they are the best SV's to have although I would mention that the Yellow ones are the fastest! ;)

[kitkat]

hiya dave, curvies are the best

[hovis]

I would mention that the Yellow ones are the fastest! ;)

its true


to enhance your motorcycle plesure, you will be wanting a race can,

crash bungs are also a good idea

ps, hello

[missyburd]

'ello and welcome :D

[stewie]

Hi mate, welcome aboard, nice choice of bike :D

[Paul the 6th]

yes yes yes -

a new end can transforms the sound of the bike, a full exhaust system gives a bit more power as far as I've heard?

EBC HH Sinterred brake pads give more bite on the braking

double bubble screens from the likes of Powerbronze, f. fabbri or others keep the wind blast off a bit better at motorway speeds

new rubbers = avon storms seem to be one of the most popular tyres (which I'm buying soon)

you can get a rear hugger which is a bit like a mud guard = stop crap flying underneath the back of the bike and looks pretty trick

tail tidy replaces the giant plastic numberplate/rear lights bracket and 'tidies' up the back end (mainly a fashion thing) = popular one for the sv is from 'Hamicad'

there's alsorts of different bulbs you can buy for the headlights (H4 fitment on the pointy but I think it's the same for curvys?) = they give much better light coverage at night

you can mess with the suspension by buying a rear shock from the likes of ohlins, nitron or matris OR you can get hold of a rear shock from gsxr which is a cheaper option.

You can get stiffer springs to put in the front forks and also thicker oil which all firms up the front end when you've sharpened up the brakes - alternatively you can do a full front end swap from a gsxr: includes front forks and calipers (yorkie chris has done this to his... it's just ridiculous, I want it done on mine)

You can mess with the gearing by getting front and rear sprockets with more or less teeth to alter the acceleration

braided brake lines (popular ones are from HEL but I found their customer service to be absolute ****e)

chewys mirror spacers are used to move the mirrors outwards so you can see more than just your elbows

heated grips from the likes of oxford will keep your hands warm and toasty through winter

thats about all i can think of for now but welcome to the forum and by the way, there's a few of us from the pennine massive doing an 'end of season rideout' this sunday = http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=118350 think there's a few people coming from manchester/that way out. We're always keen on new members getting stuck in there so here's an official invite from myself. Just watchout for dizzeeblond - she steals all the carrot cake :)

allthough this site is the Dogs nadgers. It is also home to the bewildered and colourblind, as can be seen from the above quote, which of coruse is frankly wrong as blue is the fastest nicest bestest colour. :smt002

[Paul the 6th]

see my avatar for the correct colour and type of sv :)

[Dangerous Dave]

blue is the fastest
Willing to drag race to prove that....

Erm I must admit I now have a red D675 so yeh I will have a piccy of my Blue SV in my pocket when we race and techincally it should win :smt002

[Dangerous Dave]

Worth a shot, D675 vs SV800.

[timwilky]

Ow do from down the road (Clayton le Woods), where in Preston are you?

Get your backside over to the Pennine Massive and raspberries at the tykes.

[pben47]

Welcome to the org.

Here was I thinking all the Pennine Massive were from over the wrong side of the Border.

I'm in Leyland next door.

Welcome mate,

I'am from Blackburn so if you ever want a ride out give us a shout and we will sort something out.

Do you ever go to rivington barn, sundays are the best, but you can always catch someone down there most nights.

Big D's is another place to go, Tuesdays nights again are the best, but does get a bit busy down there.

I see there is quite a few of us from this side of the hill, maybe we should meet up sometime and have a bimble out.

Can't make the rideout this weekend due to KIDS !!!!!!, and no baby sitter. I am gutted as this would of been my first ride out with the MASSIVE!!!! Hope they all have a great day and all get home safely.

Give us a shout when you want a ride out
