Hi my name is sam am 23 i live in Pontefract, i am currently serving in the Army with over 6 years served, i did my bike test in 2009 just to get it out of the way then i got sent to afghan, came back and 1 year later had my full bike license, that 2 year rule and all.

I am looking at bikes now, am really interested at min, my youngest brother has an SV650, my mum has SV 650 and dad has a triumph 1000 something like that, am more of a car person as i like to do projects, well hope you all make me welcome and help me out with any question or quierys that yet to come.

Welcome to the nicest forum on the web. If you are in the market for a nice bike, you wont go far wrong with an SV, I have had mine for a while now, starting restricted and now full power. I love my bike, it rides lovely and is also great fun to work on.

How dooo

Welcome Sam, as others have said, good first bike, cheap insurance, loads of bits around etc.

Your dad obviously has the right idea though ;)

Welcome to the forum, you won't go wrong if you get an sv!!! And I'm sure you will find riding safer than your time in afghan, stay safe.

Welcome. This place is a bit of a loony bin, but as Jayneflakes says, it's a nice friendly loony bin. And a helpful one if your bike ever breaks or you want to make the bike a bit more funky and you just can't choose which shade the rim tape should be;)

Welcome to the forum Sam do you own a Lambo and drive it slowly?

SV is a great first bike and as you like projects is also a great bike to be buying. You can improve the SV in anyway you like, its a good start to the biking world.

Nah, sorry to say southern softies are not at the top of my list, after all despite their faults. They are not cheese eating surrender monkeys.
