Default Hello - Newbie in love

Hello all,

Just thought I would check in and say hello.

Passed my MOD 2 on Wednesday 25th May, two months after taking my CBT

Since I decided to get back on to two wheels, had a classic AP50 when I was 16, I have been researching and drueling over which machine to buy.

After a lot of debate between my heart and head I have made a decision and I must say I have fallen in love with SV650.

I am located in sunny Rotherham and looking forward to getting some miles under my belt.

Thanks Kellyjo,

I know I have made the right bike choice, after picking up the bike and riding 100 yards I felt comfortable and balanced - plus i had the biggest grin on my face

Hello Mr mid life. If you're going to have a mid life crisis, buying an SV is the safest option. Much less repercussions than running away with the secretary or barmaid from the local.

Good luck, enjoy.

I do not believe my decision to get back in the saddle really is a mid life crisis, it's everyone else that does.

I openly admit mine was, felt life was passing by so grabbed the bull by the horns so to speak and got it done, best decision ever.
