Default finally.........

......... got out on the SV i bought before xmas.
i love it - its going to take a bit of gettting used to. its very different to ride that the Honda Bros i traded in for it, but i know i will get there soon.

shame it rained when i was out - the roads got very skiddy.

cant wait to get out on it again now

Nice one mautlin
Surprisingly, the best ride I've had was in the wet with my boss, tearing through country lanes..
I haven't ridden on a warm road yet (next summer is scheduled for 2218 I heard) but I can have fun in any weather

Whens it next going out?

1st needed new battery.

2nd because the bike is in a shed which is 6" above the ground, i might be able to get the bike out but would not be able to get it back in again. a customer of mine made me a great ramp to get in/out, which i took delivery of last week.

3rd the bike is in such good condition for a '99 i do not want to ruin it, so even if i had been able to get the bike out, i probably would have kept it tucked up warm & dry because of the poor weather recently

i am hopefully out on it on friday
