You may have to persuade the keys of TLWs KTM off him.

I don't care how you do it.

Next time I see you, I will let you have a go on mine, you will be amazed and overwhelmed by all thirty three galloping nags at the back wheel! She sure is comfortable though since the bar swap and she feels like a big mountain bike now! ;)

I do love my bikes though. :smt040

A member for 5 years, over 1000 posts and then rides an SV. Only on the org.

What was wrong with your Fireblade? How you can prefer that to the SV I don't know. I hated my SV but love my Blade.

WHOA there kimosabe, who said anything about prefer it to the Blade? Not me I assure you, I've no desire to swap to one, but I did love it for the short time I rode it (50ish miles) and wouldn;t mind one for a commuter toy.

But before then my son I have a Ninja, FireBlade and CBR400 to sell, a Thundercat to rebuild, a BlackBird to rebuild and then... (by the time I'm 50) I'd have one to scratch around on, but it would have to be a curvy

Still looks better than a curvy :p

And re-reading my post it makes no sense, it's been a long day.

Anyway. Glad you had fun!

Read above, if I did get one, it would have to be a fast one.. i.e. a CURVY one, with indicators that are visible to those behind, so that's yours out on both accounts

:mrgreen:

Cheers Lucky. Was still a good weekend, and I ended up with a cheap BlackBird that is held together entirely by rusty wires and cable ties. But I still love it. Actually, looking at that pic makes me want to buy a double bubble black screen, I think it looked good with that

Milkybar kid I'm glad someone spotted it :cheers:

Congratulations Stetchie!!!
From the very first time we rode together, I knew the day would come ,when you matured as a biker, that you would be ready to move up to an SV!

Quite a lot I hear!
One of the stabilizers is bent, the bell quit working and most of the tassles are gone!
