Avatar pic is through the user control panel if you click on quick links, I'm a bit hit & miss myself with getting pics in the posts - click on go advanced instead of quick post & have a play with the insert image / attachment / insert link buttons. You can preview on there to see if you've got it right.

My mate has got a Blue Curvy which looks nearly new in the for sale section, was owned by an old guy before him and v low mileage, very quiet engine no rattles or anything. its the one listed by topfridgeman.

Had 2 SV's and one Hornet, Hornet is a bit bland for my tastes.

There seems to be a bit of a curvy vs pointy thing going on amongst some members on here, lol, is this true ? Thanks hol, reason why I wanted to know is if I'm looking for a used bike with about 15, 20 k on the mileage it would make it easier for me knowing its been checked already. Thanks again

I did notice that mate, looks good with the pictures and I would be definately interested but I have a couple of weeks till the funds are available but it is quite close to me. Probably be gone by then unfortunately. Thanks for letting me know though.

think Hol answered the picture part, as for the number of hits I'm getting it could be to do with the sv virgin heading, and of course the fact that members on here seem keen to help newbies out, of which you and I are both in the category. Have you bought yours yet ? curvy or pointy ?
