"Best rebuild in general", shouldn't just be crash damages ones, that way dizzys bike and her extremely talented mechanic are in with a chance! :-P

dizzee's downpipe is amazing. it's on mi youtube video at about 20 seconds in - she mentioned something about it being taken off and machine buffed by the previous owner (please correct me if I'm wrong! - my memory aint what it used to be now that I'm old) - now she just keeps upto it and it looks imense :)

dizzyblonde 12-02-08 10:43 PM

Re: The Best SV 2008
 
yes your right paul. the wheel rims and the pipe were done by the previous owner. I just polish them a lot now with autosol and stuff. The hi-level was also customed too. Its a Dan_sv special...chopped down scorpion and one off very high curvy linkpipe

I was gonna say thats a pretty short timescale for everyone to get their entries in Lyle. Maybe we should extend it as it seems a good idea

Can we add 'best sounding' - as that's my category! :D

Edit: Also... must get a picture of my pegs... will compete for the 'lowest' one too... as long as scrapes on the end of the pegs/worn down pussy bolts can be used as evidence!

Re: The Best SV 2008
 
Can I add another category......Most luckiest crash? Seems from reading the org for a while that unscathed at 70mph might win that one....only kidding.....don't want to relive it at the glitzy oscar style awards cermony.....I might cry!!!

Quickest accident maybe? I bought mine in december, within 15 mins being on the bike I was shunted at a roundabout. Hardly an 'accident' but an incident all the same?

don't beat this matey!!!

hmm I too could go for a most unscathed person and bike following low flying deer at 60mph collision. Incidently even after all the polishing at the weekend it still will not go away, I found some remnants of deer gut stuck on the engine in a secluded corner at the weekend.#-o
