First nice day of spring - SV650.org

22-03-06, 12:54 PM

I've taken today off in preperation for a presentation Ive got to give tomorrow, but when I woke up the sun was shining for the first time since I got my bike and the roads were bone dry. Gutted!!

Left it till 10.30 and couldnt concentrate so took her out for a couple of hours and took a few pics, not the best cos its just done with my phone.

Not done anything really yet except the scorpion can but took the baffles out

.I ordered a Hamicad yesterday so should get that on this weekend.

lucky sod, I was otherwise engaged but wanted to get out and about.
Nice pic's M8... where did you venture to ?

Its Castleton in the Hope Valley, not far from my house. Managed to do about 40 miles before the cold really kicked in. Are you gonna manage to get out later? I'm considering heading back out for a while as its still nice out!

Yeah ditto, beginning to get a little confidence in the corners

I do feel very lucky to live where I do, lived in Manchester and Liverpool and its always good to get back here.

Quiff, the bike you saw look cool!? If your ever in the area drop us a PM, need as much experience as possible!
