After a year off back on a bike

[andy-type-r]

Hi all after a year off due to a big crash on me R1 last may i thought i would get meself a little starter bike again.
Had been riding for about 15 yrs now so you all know what its like to not have a bike i missed it a hell of alot and took some persuasion to get back on but i am glad i did.

So i was in my local suzuki dealer in letchworth where iused to work and happened to ask if he had a cheap little run around and he did, he had just got this little ole sv650 curvy on a 99 t plate as a p/x so i bit his arm off.

So its a 99 t reg sv650s, with 10k on the clock
In red with matching belly pan.
it has a full renagade exhaust system pretty loud lol :D with custom hanger.
new ebc discs with pads
D/B screen in dark.
rear sets, carbon chain guard, maxton rear shock and new tires and a sissy bar lol.
Has been serviced today wth new plugs,oil and filter and had a new chain put on.
it also has tax and flew through the mot today, to be honest it sounds lovly and rides really nice so may keep it a few months before getting anything bigger again.
bodywork is really good, all i need now is the cam chain tensioner doing, let me know what ya think

If I didn't have a Silver Curvy, I'd have a red one like yours.

Welcome back to the biking world Andy. :D

Suzuki are doing an offer on that type of SV, you get a free Specsavers eye test. After the eye test they point you to a pointy SV to show the error of your ways. :lol:

wow that is cheap, looks like a nice sv too. Im curious though, why 2 indicators on the right at the rear?

[andy-type-r]

Ah yes that did pee me off along with the wheel colour choice in purple with polished lipp lol.

the reason for the other indicators by the previous owner i might add is cos he was too tight to buy the resistors for the led ones so he put these in to slow them down.
was thinking of an under tray but they look hassle to fit

..................shinyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

[leebex]

the undertray is a doddle to fit really, theres a guide or 2 on here, think I may have saved one of them for when i fitted mine.

Your name and location should of really given the game away about who you are. It's not till Gavin just said to me that the penny finally dropped. Instead of saying what I did in my original post I would've instead blamed you for getting me into this expensive hobby in the first place. :lol: If you'd failed me for my CBT I would've been much better off money wise. ;)

I'm good mate and the bike will go to bike heaven before I trade it in. :D
