Hi folks, I've not been on for a while. I hope everyone is well and Grant, Drew and Gary, I hope you are healing well.
I see lots of new faces here so some of you might not recognise me but I've been an 650.org member for a couple of years now, back in the days when the pointy first hit the scene! I was one of the 'heathens' who slagged off the curve SV as a girls bike (all in good fun of course!) :wink: .
This post is to let you know that I'm giving up 2 wheels for good. After my fall in February I just could not face going back on the road and I couldn't be bothered with the bike, it's still in my back garden missing an indi and a back brake lever!!! :( It will be gettign fixed up in the next few weeks and sold. My girlfriend and I are getting married next year so I just can't afford to get the bike fixed or get something else at the moment. We are also thinking about the future and she would love to keep me alive for as long as possible. It's been an extremely hard decision but for her and my family, I need to give up bikes. :cry: I've gone back to my roots and bought a little hot-hatch so at least there is something to fire about the back roads on! At least now I will be warm, dry and I can enjoy a smoke and some tunes! I'll be sure to get my 'think bike' sticker on the back-window.
I had some great ride-outs with you guys, including my ill-fated track night (or should that be crash night) at knockhill and the irish run to Oban! So Nutty, Dean, Northy et all, take care out there and thanks for some fun times. Big thanks to Rab and Jim for helping me diagnose a broken front baring too! Anyone who is new to the site, you won't meet a better bunch of people!
Who knows, I might be back in a few years! In the mean time I'll be sure to wave if I see any of you out and about!
The SV and SV650.org will always hold fond memories
B-bye. 8)
