There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

SV's make great track bikes. I frequently get outdone by Binky on one and more recently Red Herring despite being on a more powerful bike.

Hope you enjoy it.
Yeah I've done track days for a few years now and I've learned it's not what you ride, but how you ride I currently share a GSXR 750 srad with my girlfriend, the bike's fairly standard other than braided lines/better pads and decent rubber (currently Diablo Corsa) and I can stay with much newer and faster bikes in the fast group, which sometimes they don't like

I can't wait to get an SV though...and for some sunshine again!

I work changing the tiny bus shelter adverts in East Anglia all the way to the massive billboards at the side of the road in London. The yard is tucked away and it's where all the stock is kept.
My plan next year is to buy a van and start doing trackdays with the SV if everything works out.

KJ, I make sure I switch stealth mode on when I enter Sawtry so you cannot see me.

Ah I'd love to be out and about for a job. I hate being stuck in the same building everyday!

Awesome, maybe we could hook up next year for some track days? Go halves on the petrol etc
