Just cleaned my SV again for the 3rd time in 2 weeks. Getting bloody sick of it I can tell you.

I cleaned it 9 days ago and it's covered in crap all over again. Seems like a never ending cycle. I'm starting to wonder if I can be bothered with biking at all. I only do 15 minute journeys to work and back. Takes me 10 mins to get my kit on and off at either end.

Then there's the maintenance. Balance it onto the paddock stand twice a month to oil the chain. It's only a matter of time before I drop it in the gutter.

And I'm sure my neighbours are plotting against me - something about waking them up at 5am to the sound of twin Rene's methinks

Also, I've been reading about people's offs on here recently. I had a close call year before last and I think it's only a matter of time before I have a nasty one. Is it worth the risk?

So, possibly coming to a 'for sale' thread near you- One silver SV650S K2.

I feel better for that.
