Right the SV is going away for the winter! Firstly I scared the **** out of me and my friend. It was a nice dry day yesterday here, plenty of grip on the road. Anyway Im sitting behind a car at about 45 on a wide, fast road and Im thinking of overtaking but there were hatched white lines all down the middle of this part of the road. Knowing it was dry I thought ah why not its unlikely to lose traction.

Unfortunately the lines in the middle section of the hatching were'nt flat they were raised almost like the rumble strips approaching roundabouts, Id commited to the overtake and suddenly the handlebars took on a life of there own and within 2 seconds they were VIOLENTLY moving left and right and yes Ive seen the crash videos, so I was expecting to come off at any second. Held it together but without question scared the **** out of me.

And today I hit a patch of ice, backwheel spun then gripped threw me off the seat so I was hanging off one side of the bike I slowed it right down but dropped it going about 10mph. Now my Fuel injection warning light is constantly on.

So Im ****ed off. Merry f'in christmas lol.
