Riding a SV again...
Its great! After almost a year of not having ridden one it feels so good. Oh and the power! I forgot about it all, and the engine braking. Though it is a little strange being so close to the ground again, I'm going to have to ease myself back in to the cornering, with all the ice and snow it made me a little paranoid.
So other then the sticky brakes and the snow on the bike it was great morning! So if you want to love your bike again, go get your sv smashed up by a recovery company, ride a old Kawaka GT about for a year then get another sv from Scoob's to replace the GT and love the SV again. The smashed up one is being moved into the back garden in the summer for 'best'. |

Even at this time of year you will still be able to do more damage to the chicken strips than Scoobs ever did

Also the brakes... there so sharp! Well compared to that old kawaka.
Now I've just got alot of little jobs to sort on the bike. 1. Fix fairing panel correctly. 2. Straighten out panel mount. 3. T-cut off painted circle 'damage' marks (soapy water don't cut it). 4. Get new number plate (loving that cable tie in place of screw). 5. Replace headlight bulbs with silver stars. 6. Put on bar muffs. Sexy... 7. rub down tank rust marks (found some more when I swapped for the cut down seat). 8. Put on crash mushrooms. 9. New brake pedal. 10. Replace indicators! There so huge! 11. Get some mirror extenders. 12. Find Alphonse... 13. Change the brake lines. 14. Sort the heavy clutch. Note: this is not the correct order. |
