Afternoon chaps.

It's taken me a little while but wanted to say hello after purchasing my lovely SV from El Saxo a couple of weeks ago. I'm from south Manchester so hope to get out for some rides with you locals at some point, especially with the recent weather!

Anyway, heres a nice picture from my first run out with a friend...

Very nice & nice view too. Where was the photo taken?

Very nice but it looks a tad pointy and everybody knows SVs should be curvy

You could always try some wet and dry and round off the edges.

Very true. They should also be blue, of course, but nobody's perfect.

Welcome to the madhouse Appelhanns. And I can't really fault the bike - I'm currently lusting after a black pointy in my local dealer (which I can't quite afford)! Nice mini btw, yours?

The road is between Disley and Whaley bridge, not sure of the name and it's not great but has some nice views for pictures
