Saying hello - SV650.org

Probably posting in the wrong section, just saying hello.
I have my 2003 sv650n for just over a year or so now.
Been biking now for almost 20 years, did what most do, started small and went up to litre bikes. My last bike was a 2004 tuono, had it ten years, really liked it . I live in Ireland where the majority of roads near where I live are tight and twisty, plus the Gardai (police) seem to have the roads hounded around me with unmarked traffic cars. Just wasnt enjoying the tuono as much as I used to, my brother getting done by an unmarked car on his z1000 and having to pay a huge fine didn't help. So sold the tuono and just picked up the sv so as not to spend all the money, wasn't even looking for one, I have to say I absolutely love it. I have ktech springs fitted, zx10 rear shock and slightly wider bars as well. Much more fun than the tuono and more comfortable.

Hello!

Just said I'd put up a picture of it, it was previously a UK bike according to the details that came with it.

Jeez, where about are ya? I've always found the Gardai to be pretty sound...though maybe the Scots accent and proclaiming I don't know the rules (despite working there) have gone in my favour.... Welcome!

I'm in Kerry where the traffic gardai are far from sound. Might be our local accent where we get away with nothing ��. Got done on a road one time for 10mph over the speed limit, same road you could land a 747 on, no other traffic and lovely dry day. Garda asks me, " have you any penalty points" to which I said no, cos I hadn't...... His answer " ah your alright so" and writes out the ticket.
