Is the SV your only form of transport?
Just wondering... I am lucky enuff to have a car too (and access to my girls when I break mine!), but how many people rely solely on the old SV??

Only kidding... I still got a bit of the boy racer in me at 26 (lightly breathed on Pug 306 XSi 16 valve jobby) but only coz I can't quite afford my Supra TT or Skyline GTR just yet - maybe next year... |

the SV is one of six bikes I own , however,
one is beyond repair one with no engine ( in bits awaiting build) one historic relic ( 88 gsxr "L" frame) hasn't moved in years ones a dirt bike ( not road legel) then the CB750 as the winter hack and of course the SV. If I'm not on two wheels , I'm not mobile. The wifes got a car i can use if I need to move stuff. Cheers Mark.

Although I have a car (Vectra SRi 2.2) it can goes weeks without use as I'm always on the SV... The wife also has a car (Escort GTi) but she sometimes prefers mine for longer jouurnies (mother in law etc).
The SV has become my main source of getting to work. My office is in East London, but we have others in West London, Manchester, Slough & Brighton, and I have done them all on the SV. In fact, since commuting on the bike, the only days I have used the train are 3 days in the Winter when it was icy. I am contemplating doeing the European offices on the bike next year  Also my son will find any excuse for me to take him somewhere on the bike. He does love it on the rare occasisions I get the chance to pick him up from school.... I give him his jacket, helmet & boots and we ride off leaving his mates playing on their BMX's  He loves it

SV for fun
SV is for fun socialising etc........
The car is for doing the mundane mileage of going to work on shifts the sv does get the odd visit to work so far in the last 6months on the sv I've done about 4000miles of socialising/fun. Also have access to a ZX6R............ |
