.......It seems that in my quest to get on my new (to me) sv650s (Yes, it's a Curvy and yes, i've heard it all before :)) as soon as possible, I haven't really introduced myself properly to all you guys and gals!
I'd just like to say that the forum is really up to scratch and informative (Visordown can be soooo cruel sometimes!). I mainly commute to and from 'The Essex' to 'That Laaaahndan' on a regular basis, so smile if you see me, faired all black curvy model.

The plastics behind the bar and the medicine's on me............

That maybe so, but i'm afraid with my 220 pound frame sitting on top it may not be that fast!!

Right back at ya Stu :salut: (btw, that jacket was a perfect fit, cheers!)

I wouldn't worry about that, once you hit 45mph mark the curvys 'aerodynamics' take effect and bring you to a halt anway.

Nice colour though and watch out for that Gallows Corner if you go into london by the A12. I :smt076 that roundabout in the morning rush hour.

How do you mean '2 months' Law? How long have I been on the forums or how long have I had my SV?

So let me get this right, Curvy Black ones are the fastest, but pointy black ones are even faster, it's common knowledge that curvy blue one are actually the fastest but I should know that Yellow ones are in fact the fastest of them all?!?!?!

Confused!!!! :shock: :D

Well when your pushing the envelope and hitting the scarey side of 55mph sometimes components like the clutch will fail. It happened to Schumacher at Spa, it happened to Nicky at Brno and now it's happened to me at Romford :P

Oh Yeah and welcome LS.

I avoid that route and use the A13 and Limehouse Link thereafter, far quicker I find and less 'incidents' than the A12!
