Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).
There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Default Greetings from the Antipodes

I've been logging on to the site for a while now so thought it was probably time to say hello.

I'm Paul form Wellington, New Zealand. I ride a grey K6 650S, which I use for my daily commute, and if I'm really lucky the odd weekend blat.

I've been riding for almost 35 years, so I've had the dubious pleasure of riding an awful lot of sometimes awful machinery. FWIW I reckon the SV is a surprisingly good all round machine, and being 5'6" and 72kg it suits me perfectly. I'm pretty convinced that the Japanese design sports bikes just for me!

The best thing about the land downunder the land downunder is that I can ride all year round, bar the occassional severe flooding. Not that I'm boasting now.

Hope that you chaps are getting a bit of decent riding weather up there.

Well my Wife is a Kiwi, an Aucklander tho.

Be heading your way at the end of October

If you need made-to measure leathers, I can recommend Motorcycle Safety Wear up in Auckland, mine are 2 years old now and have been down the road a couple of times, but I am still happy with them.
