Another Newbie (leicester) - SV650.org

20-08-07, 10:35 AM

Hello,

After owning a honda jap cafe racer (got to drop the engine to get to the spark plug!) and gs500 (the worlds most reliable, but boring bike), I have finally upgraded to an sv curvy which should arrive tomorrow (everything crossed!) so just wanted top say hi, and if you see someone on a yellow one you don't recognise, with immaculate knee sliders (as i'm too wimpy to get my knee down!) and a LOT of front dive (at least until I get Hagons into it!) then thats me!

Hello!

Welcome!

I'm from the Leicester area myself (well... live out in the county, but work in the town centre, and g/f also lives near town centre!)
Will keep an eye out!

Welcome mate, good to have you aboard........Ditto your comment on GS's I have trouble keeping awake when working on them

Cheers.

Thanks guys, nice to know I'm not alone! Got the new toy yesterday and it's currently sitting underneath my offices at work, looking forwards to getting an uninterrupted, twisty stretch of road to get used to it later!

Sure I'll catch you both about!
