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 Best bike forum out there?!

Having been through quite a few forums (fora?), I think I can honestly say that this is the friendliest, most useful, forum there is. Not only are posters courteous and knowledgable but just a decent bunch of folk out to support and help each other.


Seems obvious, but I am constantly struck by people on other forums who snipe at others and lack the cohesiveness and genuine desire to help one another.


I think the SV650.org forum members should congratulate themselves on being a bl**dy good group of people, and it comes as no surprise that even those who now own other makes and models are still regular contributors and members. Gotta love y'all.

I'd agree with that. Having met a group of orgers at the BPW recently I'd say you could not wish to meet a nicer bunch of folk.

Kept my SV just so I could infuriate Bibio with my lack of mechanical sympathy and inept tinkerings!!

I agree, everyone is very friendly and helpful.
