Default Newbie West Yorkshire

Signed up a month or so back but not had time with doing bike up, license and new job so it's all be go, names Carl but mainly known has Wardy, I'm a car guy mainly but have been watching bike racing every week for many years now, dad and brother are the biker two but after a few old work mates etc going in for license, I got the motivation to do it and climb back on a bike after fracturing both elbows on a pit bike three years back, dads had both shape and engine sizes of Sv years back, I was looking at street triples but sensible option was to start on a Sv, picked mine up from a old guy who can't ride anymore, plastic damage and needed cleaning but all good, 420 mile in and she's running well.


Day I bought her
