![]() Still see plenty of the old SV’s out on the road including an immaculate fully faired curvy last week. Often think about getting another one. So simple compared to the newest stuff. Sent from... |

![]() Haven’t checked his sources but he may be right enough. I have upgraded armour for the simple reason that some of the cheap stuff is too bulky. I don’t think it makes sense that just because the... |

![]() It’s pretty good for a 25 year old bike. Main thing was the plastics are in reasonable condition because they’re like hens teeth. All the smoky bits are still available. Sent from my iPhone... |

![]() I’ve fixed the Optimate to the garage ceiling so I don’t trip over the trailing wire two or three times a day. Only took 10 minutes but now feeling unreasonably pleased with myself. [emoji3] ... |
