Well as the people who have been following my random threads I passed my test at the beginning of the month and then went to Serbia / Hungary untill yesterday (more information about that when I can be arsed to write about it)... anyway, my brand new SV650 got delivered this morning and Ive just got in from a day of getting used to it.
This is the first bike ive owned and have only ever ridden a 125 for 4 days before... wow this thing is responsive! Ive had so much fun on country lanes all day!
Ive done 150miles today of all types of roads and speeds, stuck below 5500rpm (which is REALLY hard to stick to) and also managed to drop the bike once. Was on a pin turn on a really steap incline, was in too high a gear a stalled. Bike wanted to go down and I couldnt save it so used all my strengh (not alot) to make sure it went down lightly, guy in a car in front of me saw me go stopped, checked I was alright and helped me with the bike. Only a scuff on the left crash protector and small scuff on left mirror... nothing bad
Anyway, im rambling on and i guess you get the gist of it
Still got a week off work and plenty of time to play so if anyone is in the Shrewsbury area for the next week and fancies going around for a ride PM me.
