SV650.org - SV650 & Gladius 650 Forum



Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).
There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Default Usa newbie to this forum

Hey all . I'm a 59 yr old , old school biker who has only lately discovered this site . Long time britbiker ( Nortons ) currently riding an sv650 set up as a strpped down tricked up streetfighter . Also currently building a 73 T120RV streettracker . Have owned over the years 14 bikes and my favorites are the 73 Norton and the SV650 . Dream bike has always been a Vincent Black Shadow but that'll never happen as the collectors have discovered them ! Sorry about the length of this self-centered rant , but I thot it incumbent to introduce myself .

Welcome!!!


.... from the other US rider on here.
A former BSA rider in Virginia.

This is a great forum where people actually ride bikes and offer good advice, etc.... as well as being a likeable bunch. (for the most part)
Unlike the constant whining and drivel that seems to dominate most US forums.
