Evening all,
Have been lurking around this forum and viewing as a guest for a little while and have now decided to join up properly.
The name's Dave and, as per the title, I'm an ex-pat based in Saudi Arabia - however, when I'm back in the UK I reside around Southampton and my trusty little curvy SV650S is my only form of transport. It's also my first bike since passing my test back in October when I left the RAF and I love it to bits.
It already had a Viper end-can, lower fairing kit and double bubble smoked screen but I've also done a couple of little bits to it since I bought it - A few carbon bits, HEL braided brake lines, a purple screen (which I'm still undecided one), clear indicator covers and silvertech bulbs and some reflective rim tape etc. I have a set of Oxford heated grips to go on it along with a Honda CBR1000 voltage regulator as my original Suzuki one is only kicking out 12.5v max and I am currently amassing a complete set of spare fairings so I can get them resprayed and fitted to the bike as part of a mini-overhaul/rebuild.
The bike has seen a lot of use for country-wide touring, group days out and general day to day getting around whenever I'm back in the UK and I've recently done my first track day on it hooning around a circuit at RAF Odiham in Hampshire which was BRILLIANT fun.
I fully expect that once I've splashed the money out on the bike that it needs (2 new tyres, a new chain and sprocket and fitting the other bits I've accumulated for it) I'll be keeping it for a LONG time.
My nephew and niece love it as well
I look forward to chatting to you all around the board
