Hello all,
Just posted in the "SELKENT" Also as I'm from Sunny Kent.


New to the forums and also new to biking, only passed end of last year and got my SV650 “Pointy” two weeks ago.


Yes I’ve already managed to throw myself off of it due to lack of experience in the wet on a diesel spill at slow speeds. Just trying to get it all fixed up, then I can book myself one of them bike safe courses, if they're any good. Anyone think they're worth doing?

Hope you're all having a good day!

See you guys & girls around. :)

Its rubbish when you drop a bike.....I had an IMMACULATE fully faired bandit and dropped it TWICE.......:smt010

So then I got my SV...only been out on it twice and so far so good...but has totally knocked my confidence and was on the verge of selling it for a while there cos I was scared of it.

Thanks all,

Yeah think I'll get myself booked in for it, can't make my riding any worse. :)

Got my fingers crossed that I will be riding again next week, I hope.

Are you male or female?

The key difference between 3-4 pages, and 30-40 pages :)

Na had worse falls walking down the street. I threw myself into a bush to break my fall, it worked really well.

I'm male, atleast I hope I am. :eek:
