Hi all. Here's another "hi, I'm new, please don't abuse me too much" thread. I originally signed up to wish TSM GWS but now I'm here I'd best introduce myself. First up, I don't own an SV but I'm sure I'd get just as much of a ragging whether I did or not. ;)

The basics. 30...err... something guy from Hertfordshire, work in London. Currently ride a Xreg Bandy600 for the commute and a Treg XJR1300 for the weekends. Been riding about 8 years now and luckily the crashes have been few and far between. Previously owned a BMW 650st, a RD250LC and a Bandit600f. I had the old Bandy for a number of years until some numpty decided that bikes are obviously non-corporeal and pulling across in front of one would result in the bike passing harmlessly through his car. Boy, was he wrong. Thing was, he came off worse than me, 6 foot of somewhat peeved biker thrown at you through your side window is never a good way to start your day.

So, that's it. I'll try not to ask too many dumb-ass questions (I get asked enough of them at work as it is) and try to keep kinda on topic but I promise nothing.

Pen'
