Re: im no longer an SV owner
 

what you going to do now coddy? is it the end of biking or u getting another?

Re: im no longer an SV owner
 

its the end of biking for a few month mate, dealer has offered me a few of the demo bikes for the odd day or two. might be looking for a ride a little cheaper or supermoto stylee. im undecided yet but a little thing thats 5month old wins at the moment lol

Re: im no longer an SV owner
 

sorry to hear this mate, ive got 2 of the little blighters and they do suck up lots of cash but you'll soon have 2 wheel again!
stick around coddy its nice having you on here!! :)

Re: im no longer an SV owner
 

Oh man that was such a nice bike, I really wished I had the cash to buy it. Glad you will stick around though!

Re: im no longer an SV owner
 

Andy, if you can afford it, why not look around for an early pointy like mine? Think you can pick them up for around £2500 at the moment. Failing that you could go budget and pick up something like a Bandito for about £1400. Still a decent bike. Stick around mate

Re: im no longer an SV owner
 

will do rob. been offered a bandit 1200 by a guy at work or demo bikes by tillstons. hopefully will be back on 2wheels soon

hows the car search coming on?

Re: im no longer an SV owner
 

lol I bought another mx5 mate, this time the 1.8sport from a dealer up in Durham. Took it out for a blat up along buttertubs yesterday and it was enjoyable. I didnt actually find another car i liked and found diesels expensive, however im already beginning to think i should be getting rid of this for something better for the commute!

Hi Andy

Got home fine. It was a mistake to head west over the A66. It was blowing a gale and it felt like we were cranked over to near 45 deg to compensate. Still, got some use on the left side of the tyre:D . It was so bad we jumped onto the M6 and crunched the miles back home in the lashing rain. Was dry as we came back into the Manchester region though :eek: . It was nice to meet you and your family. Keep safe.

Glad to hear you got your thou ratty! How are you finding it so far? you certainly got the nicest one around! i think even my exhaust will be drowned out now

Re: im no longer an SV owner
 

Just go in the garage and there it is :p . I've not had a chance to get her on any good roads (in decent weather) yet. It's still got standard cans on it so I'll still be behind you on noise. See you on the road soon.

Ratty

No don't do it Ratty, bring it back to Teesside where it belongs - I'll look after it :p
