Bikers are a friendly bunch aren't they
 
Well, I picked up my SV650S today from the New Forest today. However, bearing in mind that I did my test in January, and that I haven't ridden a bike since (and I hadn't before either), it was destined that I would stall once or twice.

However, I managed to stall one too many times and then I killed the battery, as I hadn't given the battery enough chance to charge (it had been stood up and not used that regularly prior to me buying it). However, at the time I didn't know what had happened and was sat there with my new bike, at the side of the road, with not a clue what i'd done.

What cheered me up, was the fact that 3 bikers stopped (at different times, whilst I was waiting for the RAC) to check if I was ok and tried to see if they could see what was wrong and countless others asked if I was ok too. I've not known it to happen when my cars have broken down.

So, a big thanks to everyone that stopped :cool:

oooh that's nice, I always thoroughly thank them when they do. I've found to many Rseholes drive on whenever I break down!
