Default Its about time I did 2 things - Hello and I need a bike.

firstly is to say hi to the org as been reading for a couple of weeks now and never have so hi to you all...

bit about me.....27 from bristol, 125 cityfly for 2 months...then gsf400 for 2 months ...passed my DAS last week (1 day DAS - result!!)...im also a new dad of my 8 week old son cameron james

originally wanted a yzf600 / thundercat once id passed my test but insurance qoutes were really bad so started looking elsewhere and stumbled on the sv650... not entirely convinced at first if im honest...but after reading lots...seeing all the different mods etc I now want a sv650s above anything else...and insurance is GREAT!!

so I have finally sold my mini bandit to a mate and now have a bit of cash waiting to buy a curvy s,

so the second thing i need to do is say im looking for a bike if anone has one for sale have put details in the wanted section rather than repeat it here so if anyone has one for sale at the right price for me please let me know!!!

oh and although I havnt posted before I have read loads on here and its been very helpful...so thanks!!!

hello and welcome mate. I signed upto this site randomly last year before I'd even passed my test or ridden a 'big bike'. Now I've got a k5 (2005) pointy and visit the site several times a day to see what's happening and if anyones off for a ride out.

There's some real bargains which pop up in the for sale section so keep an eye out in there, failing that, bike trader/mcn bike mart etc - good places to find what you're after.

If it doesn't start, check the kill switch.

if it cuts out when you put it in first, check the side stand.

Welcome, and good choice on going for a Curvy too!!!

Being Bristol based means your only a stones throw from JHS Racing too, they are 'the' SV tuners!
