Default Farewell SV

I 'm sad to inform you all that my beloved SVK5S has now moved on, she was and still is a wonderful bike who as from the weekend will be adopted by Mrs Neighbour. I will miss her badly. However I can no longer afford to keep her in the manner to which she has become used to with another bike on the way.

She (my SV) gave me so much pleasure over the last seven months. After returning to the two wheeled life after a sabbatical of some 16 years from middleweights we had many good times, nearly 10,000 miles worth in fact, the SWS runs were a great hoot, the AR was fantastic and showed us that we can still have lots of fun in this country.

Thanks to the SWS lot and those on the AR for making us both (SV and me) welcome, I will hold those memories close.

The time has come to move on though, to wheels a new, I know the SV will be looked after much better than I had the time to, I was far too busy out on the roads with her having fun. She will continue to wear the plate with 'Beenz' untill her new mistress chooses to change it.

Farewell my good friend, take care and good luck!

Sorry to hear this, surely the garage is big enough for two bikes!
