I enjoyed every second of it whilst it lasted, and all the bits lived on, bringing coolness to a couple of other SVs.

Oh yeah, and I bought a silver sports car to match my bike!

So- as I've clearly missed the thread, why the retirement? Though I'm sure riding around Islington can't be the nicest biking jaunt in the world- driving there's bad enuff (or at least parking!)

Dunno what I would be classed as. I got:

Roof helmet
Dainese leather jacket and jeans.
Alpinestars gloves and boots.
The SV has been tweeked a bit in looks as well.

Not rich though. :(

eye trouble, innit.

Living in Islington wasn't that bad for riding - a couple of near death experiences on the way to work sets you up for the day nicely.:viking:

Err, me, fashion, err, no.

Granted the new bike looks good but in reality the SV image sticks.

So no im not a fashion person, i buy what is practical.

Standard stock of Shoei, Sidi, RST, HG, Dainese, nothing special as they are all cheep bits and do the job i want them to.

LOL! I used to gig every week (up to 3 times a week sometimes) at the Kings Head. Getting parked outside was MURDER! Had some real @rsehole cops who gave me aggro for parallel parking while I unloaded the gear once- totally unreasonable... Had some great times there, though...

Am happy to spend money on quality. But find it difacult to spend more than £300 on leathers. Picked up a nice set of 2nd hand Alpinestars leathers right here on the org for half of that - lots of life left. Quality lids from the start though - no compromise here.
