I know in a way I half hoped that this might put me off to reduce the risk of death but it just hasn't. So as soon as I'm back on I'm going to get some advanced courses under my belt. Maybe one that covers avoiding stationary cars.....

Have you considered maybe doing this next year?

A lot of Orgers have done Bike Safe courses and I'm sure they would all agree that they learned a lot from them.

Cheers lissa.
I'm thinking I'm also going to use this opportunity to mod my sv and really give it a come back. Does anyone know the best place to get springs for the forks?

Hyperpro or Hagon springs are the most common for SV's.

Cheers DD, any idea on the cheapest place to get some and what type I should be looking at for about a 12 stone bloke that may occasionally take pillions?
