It's a target scanner. It lights up when you're in their crosshairs.

Not really just bullying here. It's theft, and outside school grounds so it's a police matter.
But also totally justified to defend one's person and one's property. I'm with TW unless he's likely to...

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

Other options being riding it everywhere in first. It redlines at well over 50mph :cool:

Re: SV650 Front Wheel Jack

I tried the same with some wood and some L brackets, which were far too soft. It didn't end quite as disastrously as it could have!

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

Might well be more to do with the compression applied from whatever source you use. Visible banding in dark scenes is unlikely to get improved with a better or newer TV.

Obviously TVs in shops use...

Re: sv1000's are now ULEZ exempt

People ride old bikes into London because they're cheap. They barely cause any...

My V5 is also blank in those sections.

Apparently what we need is a Certificate of Confirmity, which are available from Suzuki, unfortunately at a charge of £95 :shock:

Re: sv1000's are now ULEZ exempt

Re: sv1000's are now ULEZ exempt

So you'd expect that the 650 would be as well?

Can we get details of said legwork?
