Howya Watty,

Good to have another Irish SV owner on board. Based in Kildare meself - have a '99 SV650 and a '04 SV1000. The 650 was me first bike and couldnt bear to part with her after putting so much time and effort into her...

Once you get that Scorpion can on the SV'll sound sweet!!

Take it handy....:cool:

[skapegoat]

Wicklow sv based in Kildare??? were you shoned?:D

where exactly are ya head were in celbridge!
out racing next week in mondello you should take a trip down!
its a good day out if the weather is fine!

you may even convert that sv for racing by the end of the day!;)

[WicklowSV]

Moved counties about 2 years ago...too much work changing me login :D Based in Kilcullen meself...but won't make it to Mondello as I'm headin off to France on the Sat...

Had thought about converting the 650 into a race bike....esp since I'm so close to the track...gotta go check out the piggy bank and back of the sofa!!:D

[skapegoat]

its the way to go head!
svs were built to race, if you need any advice on what to do just ask!

the beauty of it is you can cover some costs selling the road going stuff too.


all you need is spare wheels 300e, race bodywork350e, front forks built 200e, shock 400to 800e air filter50e and a dynojet kit 100e. tyres are 300e a pair so 600e on top. ok so you need 3k at least but its the best ride you will ever have!:driving:

Hey Skapegoat

R u racing at Kirkistown and Bishopscourt over the Easter weekend?

The weather at Mondello last weekend was baltic - racing between snowshowers!!! But the craic was good as always. I must say the Int circuit at Mondello is my fav place to race.

cheers boys

[skapegoat]

i was out in the cold too! god it was cold!

i wont be up over easter though my finals for college are too close for comfort!!!

hope to get up for a few rounds in june and july!;)

[mcireland]

skapegoat......that you Byrne? If it is read on, if not....read it anyway but dont pay much attention!

Martin here, starting my search now for an SV but have to have a certain one or me insurance will kill me, is yours full power or restricted? its true that i have to get a factory restricted model for group 5 yeah? lousy companies, hopefully when i get home therell be adelaide up and running for some competition

keep your ears open for a FR 2003/4 S model, thats what im goin for! hopefully therell be at least 3 SV's floatin around the grove then :D

[thebluelion]

mcireland You on about road bike if you are try Open and Direct they quoted me £40 cheaper than Adelaide for the same company the only person close to open and direct was E-Bike who only a tenner out. hope this helps

hey thanks but im down the south and theres only 3 companies that will insure us so they can pretty much ask for as much as they want and not a feck load we can do about it. so for the moment we have to abide by their rules, but not for long, some companies like adelaide are opening in a few weeks so there will finally be some competition!

[thebluelion]

mcireland open and direct insured me through a company in England called Equity Red Star surely a comnpany done there could find you the same company?

[mcireland]

I'm not sure, I think you have to be living in England or Northern Ireland for a certain portion of the year to use their insurance companies. If there was a cheaper way to get insurance someone would have figured it out by now and every biker in Ireland would be using English companies. You live in the North yeah? I'm fairly sure theres completely different rules to what we have to put up with unfortunately

[skapegoat]

its me Martin.
Factory restricted are group five.
Put a wanted post up on irishbikerforum.com and biker.ie
a few lads there have them.
otherwise get to england and ship it over.

call around some day and we will have a chat.
Still have the nsr?

[mcireland]

yeah still have it, shes in storage til i get home from eastern europe but i wont have a problem sellin her i think, a FR SV will be tough to find at home, thats why im postin here, ill put a post up on biker.ie when its closer to the time that i can actually buy it,

ill let ya know sometime in july when to stick the kettle on :thumleft:

[skapegoat]

no bother martin what are you doing over there work wise?

[mcireland]

apart from downing as many €1.20 pints as i can :D im doing my final year project for college, loada crap!, finished the end of this month then going travelling around for june, dont wanna do too much though need some money to get back on the road :)

[Idleater]

a FR SV will be tough to find at home

MC,
