New here
 

Good evening everyone :D - I've been reading this forum for a couple of weeks now and have finally managed to cease giggling, chuckling and guffawing for long enough to do the decent thing and make an honest man of myself by registering.

Initially, I was driven to searching out info about a bit of a snag in my gearbox - third gear would appear to have gone awol!! :cry: As I don't have the garage facilities required or a large enough kitchen, the poor machine is now layed up at the dealers awaiting word from Mr Suzuki which sounds a bit expensive :reaper: to me...but hey..there's the rub. It's gotta be fixed somehow. In the meantime the shop have been kind :shock: enough to lend me a GS500 :laughat: for transport - nicely restricted, and has managed to do half the mileage of my SV - I had to get off and push it up a hill the other day - it has had the effect of making me appreciate what I have (or perhaps 'had' is more appropriate).

:cry:

Anyway - here I am - when I have found a picture/item worthy enough I shall do the avatar thing - standards look quite high here!! Hope to contribute to some of the light hearted banter in due course :D :D

Welcome to the madhouse mate. :wink:

Sorry to hear about your SV woes, hope it gets sorted.

Re: New here
 

Standards high................ :lol: They can't be they let me in, not only that you wait till scoobs ambles along this way.




Welcome to the assylum overflow. :wink: :lol:

Hi.Nought like keeping yer "standard"up eh.

Hmmm - Biker Biggles from Barnet - originally from the screaming metropolis of Berkhamsted myself - last time I went back there, I discovered that everyone had moved out because of huge market influences on house prices - apparently. :?

Veeerrry unusual to lose a gear on an SV... Is it under warranty?

Hi

Good to see another comedian registering

"The standards high here" :twisted:

Sadly not - it's an 03 plate - had it from new, regularly serviced etc etc - the bog standard suzi warranty expired after 12 months - so the workshop are now waiting to hear from suzuki before they break out the scalpels, pliers and sledge hammers!! :shock:

Stingo...Looks like you really got the hang of the emoticons straight away mate! Bit of showing off their in your first post! Welcome aboard...you may live to regret this! :D

Sorry to hear that your bike has a problem.Pity you didn't fire a question in to Supr Sid Squid on "tuning and tweaking" before dropping bike in to the dealer,aint no SV prob that guy can't advise on. :wink: :)

BTW..Just noticed...Devon? Oi boy you got a tractor? :wink:

'Ere, no. And what I really meant by high standards was....oh never mind - here's a pic of my other bike...
