My Old SV
 

I was approached by a dodgy looking salesman the other day.

"Psst" he said "Wanna buy another SV"?

Actually I was wandering past the Honda centre in Shrewsbury and Steve the sales guy yelled out to me. Turns out they've taken my old SV in Part Ex for a cruiser.

Of course I had to have a look at my old baby. I'm pleased to say she looks as clean as I left her. Only done another 1k miles. I know the shop bought it in for £1500, so it'll be interesting to see what price it ends up on the showroom floor at.

Not show on their website yet, which is http://www.shrewsburyhonda.co.uk/home.php?type=HOME if you're interested.

I bumped into the old owner of my SV at a bike show a while back... She was halfway between fascinated and horified at what I'd done to it :) "I polished that every week!" "Well, that was a bit of a wasted effort, as it turns out..."

When ever Scoob's looks at the bike he looks a little horrified too...

As for the other SV... I've always owned it.

She's now in the showroom, no price yet though.

Yep I looked after her. It's all here.

Did they leave the org stickers on?

:thumbsup:

No I took the org stickers off just prior to the sale, they were looking tatty.

So that's what it looks like when it's all back together!! I used to see it in John's garage in more bits than I could count up to, cleaning rags and god knows what polish 'n all :lol: I did see the bike a few times and yes you could have eaten your dinner off it, it was that clean.
