Here ya go, a nice new sticky chat thread for posting just about anything. Normal rules apply i.e within the U rating, no abusing other users etc etc

DD, thanks very much! Much appreciated

You know that you're local to WayneL and Thunderace who are also in Aldershot??

dirtydog · 04-06-12, 08:53 AM

Yeah have had a PM convo with WayneL who's not far from me.
Where abouts is thunderace

Hopefully get the SV back on the road soon. Not been MOT'd for about 3 years now! Since its last MOT it's gained a GSXR750 front end and an Elka rear shock

DJ123 · 04-06-12, 08:57 AM

Not sure where Thunderace lives, i only know it's Aldershot

3 years! Time to get it back on the road then

What type/model have you got? Gixxer front end v nice, i'm considering it for mine when i decide how long i am keeping it for.

Woohooo! New thread. Thanks Dawwwg!

Mines a curvy S. bought by the other half (Kithat) new in 2001 and then acquired by me about 4 years ago when I bought kitkat a Raptor 1000.
Was originally pearl lively yellow but is now Shimmerin green. Showing about 35k miles now.

In my defence I've not been off the road for those 3 years as I had a Benelli Tornado for a little while

Here it is

And yes the wheels are still mismatched like that, still trying to decide what colour to paint them!

Like a Kwak Green?

dirtydog · 04-06-12, 09:36 AM

Darker than kwak green, that picture was taken in the shade so doesn't do it justice really.

Been the last few years with having a baby (now 3 1/2) and busy lately with a mk2 xr2!

DJ123 · 04-06-12, 09:48 AM

That looks good

i like the look of that. I bet it eats corners better than before with the suspension set up

dirtydog · 04-06-12, 09:50 AM

It should do, I've not ridden it in anger since fitting the rear shock
