new rider & SV owner
Hi All
been lurking on here for a few weeks, so thought I would introduce myself. recently purchased a K9 naked, added a belly pan and seat cowl. not a hell of a lot of riding experience, gsxr600 and a ducati 748 about 15years ago, then never rode since then, got married and wife didn't like bikes is the reason, so I bought a 125 a couple of years ago to ease back in to it and surprised her lol.. got an ear bashing and then she finally came to her senses and said it was ok to ride!! so here I am with my SV650, missus is even now keen to pillion with me, just taken me 15 yrs of marriage to get her to like bikes! look forward to some ride outs and maybe meeting a few of you in the future. great forum with loads of info!! and I think I figured out pic attachments. Andy |

Re: new rider & SV owner
Welcome back to biking.
Best plan with her indoors is not to do silly things when she is on the bike and maybe put her off bikes. I was out in the car yesterday doing a steady 50 along some fairly twisty narrow country roads with high hedges (no centre white line in places) and a gaggle of brightly clad summer bikers came up behind and proceeded to give a lesson on how not to overtake, they seemed to specialise in blind bends and by the time all of them were past there had been a couple of fairly near misses with traffic coming the other way. I caught up with some of them up at the next junction (with a busy main road) and I had not risked my life to get there.

Yea thanks for the advice, I've seen it first hand as well recently with bikers taking short cuts and putting themselves in harms way, and others. I always say to myself that I hope I don't ride like that ...ever! |
