Yeah, he's got a wavey disk and sintered pads on his RS125, I stupidly thought the SV's brakes would be better, seeing as there are 2 of them. I grabbed the brake, wondring how good it would be, and it went up on the front wheel and I shat meself. Also seeing how you would look/sound when overtaking at a ton plus is quite cool.

anybody who doesn't ride a big bike doesn't sit on it. end of.

Anyone can sit on my bike, they can sheel it around, take it for a ride, crash it, write it off whatever. They bin it, they brought it...simple rule number one

Yep, same ere. Rule #1 other than than that anyone i know (who has a licence) is free to use it.

My work colluege used my sv quite a few times to go and resuce his broken down wifes car because his 125 (commuter) bike would be too slow to go the couple of junctions up the A40. Personally i think he just wanted a hoon :lol:

Some people don't realise what a personal thing it is to ask to sit on your bike, they look at you gone out when you say no.
They're not toys you know.

I've never come across this phrase before, 'they look at you gone out when you say no'. East Midlands expression???

I don't let people hold my bike unless I know that they know what they're doing - most don't realise how heavy and finely balanced a bike is. And how quickly the weight shifts...

I was just pulling up to park outside a university halls of residence when a few druck students came running up. One shouted "give us a ride on the back mate" and started to swing his leg over.

I have never accelerated so fast in my life. :evil:
