Nice one Bill, I see a mamil in the making. Keep it up

Dry roads today and finally got insurance and tax sorted on the new (to me) SV650s... so celebrated last weeks test pass with an hour out getting a feel for the new bike. In a nutshell... very solid feeling, geared higher than my old 125 (obviously!) and getting used to the position will take a while, but got a feel for taking pressure off my wrists by gripping the tank with my knees... my core needs to get stronger to support this! Wonderful hour out though and can't wait for the next dry day.

Thanks everyone.
Er...sorry for the confusion.
Exercise bike = stationary bike in "American"
Lost over 40lbs in less than 5 months riding it in 2011.

Suddenly I feel so..... American.

Exercise bike in American, can be interpreted as turbo trainer in the UK

Both are stationary

This made me laugh. Definitely one for Chris8886 who won't use capitals because it requires the extra effort of pressing the shift key!

BanannaMan · 15-02-16, 05:14 PM

Haha! That is a BIG difference!

It's a bit chilly for delivering motorcycles naked, and think of the gravel rash if you had an off!
