SV no more

[DarrenSV650S]

Today after 8 years I finally said goodbye to my sv :(

Will I be banned now?

That looks a whole lotta fun

[Kenzie]

Is that a 250L? I had one about tens years ago. Regret selling it big time!

[DarrenSV650S]

It's a 250, dunno about L

And yes it certainly is fun!

[Kenzie]

K and L's had a pipe either side, and the later ones had a banana swing arm and both pipes on one side.

[DarrenSV650S]

Yeah I think it is an L

[TamSV]

It's the N but with Tyga side by side pipes. :)

That's a shame you've sold the SV, that was one of the nicest Pointys around.

But the RGV is a fine machine, I may have been looking at one recently...

[DarrenSV650S]

Thanks Squirrel, but don't worry the sv is in good hands ;)

[TamSV]

Speaking of which, does anyone want to see my new naked pointy? :)

[squirrel_hunter]

Have you two swapped bikes?

[TamSV]

Keys were exchanged today in a neutral location

[squirrel_hunter]

So why the swap then?

[TamSV]

I wanted a naked middleweight bike and Darren wanted to sell one. He wanted a 2 stroke and I was persuaded to part with mine (he knew I'd been thinking about selling it anyway).

An alignment of the stars. :)

[Geodude]

Very nice Darren, hope you enjoy it :)



What magic you got in mind for the sv Tam?

[TamSV]

Mostly just putting petrol in the petrol hole and riding it. :)

[andrewsmith]

So was it an sv and cash or straight swap?

Cost you a fireblade

[TamSV]

You got those new fairings on yet Darren?

[DarrenSV650S]

No. I removed the old ones last week, shoe-horned the bike in to my flat and was all set to get started in the warmth. But then my heating broke so I had to take it back outside in case my landlord found out about it being in the flat while the heating is being fixed. I'll post up when I have the new ones on :)

[carelesschucca]

You know Darren I think I hate you ;)

I'd completely forgotten about this deal between you and Tam, so jealous you have that bike.

[littleoldman2]

I just hate it that Darren can take the bike into the flat to work on.

[littleoldman2]

Or more to the point that I cannot:rolleyes:

[DarrenSV650S]

I hate you guys too :)

[andrewsmith]

Or more to the point that I cannot:rolleyes:
Yours is too wide to get in the house ;-)

[Bibio]

Yours is too wide to get in the house ;-)

he also has a lovely garage connected to the house. he just need to throw half the shizz out of it and put a radiator or two in.

[littleoldman2]

I'm busy on eBay right now. I don't need radiators in the garage just a wife who'll help me work on the bike in the front room:p

[pookie]
