Default 1st Brown Trouser Moment

Went out nice & early this morning to blow off the cobwebs & get rid of the Guiness out of my system. You can't beat early on a Sunday morning because eveybody else is still tucked up in bed, so you get the roads to yourself.
Had a good 75mile ride round the twisty back lanes to find mine & the SV's capabillities for the first time. I came into a fairly sharp left hander & chucked her in & on the exit opened the throttle nice & gently (so I thought) when the rear tyre let loose & skipped about a foot . My @rse made a very nasty noise & I just held on & waited for the bike to settle. Luckily I stayed sunny side up, but I need to remember that it is a twin & not an inline 4 I'm riding

I have to say that the SV is a fun machine & I'm not sorry that I bought it.
