hiya, just to introduce myself, my name is mike, but most people call me Goldy, i have a lovely k5/6 (i cant remeber which) 2006 plate SV650s

ive only been riding, about 2 weeks.

only mods are:

red bar ends,
a blue flame can,
really gay looking red foot pegs (turned pink in the sun. came like that when i bought it. lol),
carbon fibre fender extender.

not much but its a start.

i cant wait to start to go on meets, its my daily commute to work so am allways out around Nuneaton, Hinckley & Leicester areas, so if you see me, say hi, im in all black leathers, and a black helmet....

let me know what you think....

Mike, just a thought, IF you want to rid yourself of the gay red footpegs, "Busters" have just had some on offer in black or natural alum front and rear pair for £11 + pp. Also fitments for many other makes/models chinkanese of course. I have baught some look fair for the price and are adjustable.
