Default Hi all!

Hey there everyone. Just stumbled across this forum and there was no way I couldn't join up! I live in the metro-west area of MA, so unfortunately my season is just about over. I've been riding for just over two years, so still pretty new. Had a nasty accident on my first bike, a ninja 500, in July of '05 courtesy of a GMC suburban. Last summer I bought a 2003 SV650 with only 300 miles, might as well have been brand new. I've done some cosmetic mods, nothing major at all, but it's starting to look the way I want it. This is my first post, so here's some pics of my bike! My plans for winter/next season are to run a holeshot high mount, remove the rear blinkers and use a clear alternatives integrated tail/blinker, and change out the front blinkers to the mini's that are currently on the tail. So, I suppose that's my intro!

This is it now:



and this was how I bought it:

peek a boo



wrong color & shape, but i guess you have differant rules over there.

over here is a fact yellow ones are faster, & the curvy is faster than the pointy
so........ yellow curvys are the fastest (apart from fireblades)

Thanks for saying hello! Actually, when you measure in miles instead of kilometers, blue and pointy is way faster than anything else. Sorry to disappoint! And Ed, the exhaust is coming! A winter project perhaps. This is what I'll be putting on:



The company is called holeshot. They're relatively small, so I'm not sure if you can get their stuff in the UK, but the site is http://www.holeshot.com. They have quite a bit of stuff available for all years of SV's, worth checking out, maybe they would ship.
