Newbie saying Hi !

[Scorpio]

Looking to buy a bike soon so I can get it ready for the summer, especially keen on V-twins and loved a SV that I borrowed a couple of times last year.

Hoping to find something cheap so I'm expecting to end up with something with some battle scars - the main thing I am looking for is reliable fun :cool: SV's sound like an ideal solution :D (but open to anything else if the price is right ;))

Just found this forum so will be reading up to see what I should be looking for if I can find one locally.

Have fun ( is now a good time to start counting down to summer :cool: ?)

Welcome from Scotland :)

What's you're price raise?

[tinpants]

Welcome. Have fun, but don't feed the natives. They can get a bit feisty!!

Have a gander at the For Sale section, theres usually a couple in there for a reasonable price.

Don't feed Badger. Don't encourage Wideboy to wear mankini's, and the list could go on!! ;)

Get yourself on the Pennines Massive section!

What you talking budget?

Mankinis? I'm not even going to ask! ( what a thought to go to sleep with :smt103 )

Pennines = done :D Cheers for the tip ;)

Budget = buttons :smt103 Have seen some spares/repairs projects with minor damage to plastics around £800, hoping I can find something like that around the North East ;)

I'd keep an eye on places like Petite and France, and the smaller dealers for a P/X to clear.

[Geodude]

Howdoo scorpio and welcome :D

[Owenski]

If you've got the money and thats your intention (a spares/repairs project) then I'd be looking to buy now before the prices climb again as we head into dryer times. £800 could fetch you a curvey needing little work or a k3 even k4 pointy which needs a fair bit more, depends how your function over form ratio idles.

and welcome :)

Howdy pardner :D
