Default newbie from the borders

Hi guys, newbie here from the borders, bide on the borderline so always ride in the borders and cumbria.

great forum you have built up here, been browsing for a good few days and have barely scratched the surface of the vast amounts of knowledge there is!

i've just put a deposit down on a 2005/55 SV650S after taking it for a test blast, what a machine hey! i'm used to riding supermoto's so kinda gotten used to the acceleration and torque of the beasts but after taking a ride on the SV, it was sold! so i'm going to be on a bit of a steep learning curve into the world of sports bikes! lol

this is my beasty, comes with a beowulf can and the baffle will be coming straight out! cant wait to get it on monday!!!




cant wait to get out and ride it and possibly meet some of you guys on rideouts.


Stuart.
