Newbie Greeting
Hi All!!
Wanted to pop my head round the virtual forum door and say Hi. I feel a bit of a fraud as I have only just passed my big bike test and last week bought my first "proper" bike - a glorious fully faired SV K3. Before that I was riding a Honda CBR 125 and practising on my other half's GIXER 750 (never on public roads, m'lord ). I'm hoping to put some mods on the SV and generally bling her up so being as I am a newbie I would welcome as much advice, knowledge and teasing as possible. My next task is to get some piccies on here for you to comment on. I'm giving the old girl a clean and polish today as I've already being out playing over the weekend (trying to get her over). Toodles for now Amanda x |

Re: Newbie Greeting
That was quick!! lol
Well if there is anything you can tell me above and beyond the usual Muk-Off cleaning kit, polish, etc then fire away. One problem I have got is that the fairing has a a few scratches in it. Without replacing it whats the best way of going about getting it shiny and smooth again?? |

Re: Newbie Greeting
Welcome.
As for cleaning, a small child is the best method. £5 pocket money for a full clean and polish. Then let my sister take her 6 year old son back and she has to try and get all the grease and muck off him. Lucky you living near the New Forest - great riding area. |

Re: Newbie Greeting
I saw the words "Other half" and had a mental semi-shut-down.
Welcome to the org, we're really not as bad as the rest of them make us out to be. |

Re: Newbie Greeting
Hello and welcome,
I wouldn't worry too much about the scratches at the moment, if you're anything like the rest of us you're likely to add a few more in your first year of biking. |
