Welcome! Never met a Canadian I didn't like.

Makes me suspicious. You must be up to something...

Evening DDW!! Well it is evening here, 7.45pm in fact, and it's cold and rainy too.

Nice bike

hello from wales

(its the little bit joined to england on the left)

wotcha!

im from the uk too. its wet and windy and dark and miserable. im going out riding tomorrow, yaaay

Don't have to complain about the cold to me. Out here we can only ride April through October because of the ridiculous amount of snow and ice on the roads. A bit frustrating seeing as how I just got my SV. No snow on the ground today though so I've been sneaking short rides every chance I get. Loving it so far, except for the slight ache in my wrist. (First sporty bike, gotta get used to the ergonimics).

ah yea, the achey wrist syndrome. try adjusting your levers (manufactures always seem to have them up a bit too high) and also grip the tank a bit more with your knees. Its worse on the earlier curvy models, the tank isnt as supportive IMO

Thanks, I'l try the knees bit, although the levers seem to be in the right spot. I just need to learn to not put my weight on my wrists and I think we'll get on fine.

welcome.... you lazy bugger and get them dishes washed ... nice bike...

try dropping your elbows so as your elbow acts like a hinge that way your not pushing all your weight onto your wrists. takes a bit of getting used to but it works.

Hello and welcome. Not Canadian myself, but got relatives in Belleville and friends in Brampton, Toronto. Went rafting on the Ottawa river some years ago, remember there were some nice roads through the forrests up that way.

BTW - nice bike
