Picked up my brand new SVS yesterday and apart from having little experience, passing my test last friday, brand new tyres and hitting the biggest downpour of rain I have seen this year in Oxford I'm well chuffed

I have only done just over 90 miles and had my first ride out with my mate on his ninja 7 today ( lovely sunshine ) and it was bloody marvelous

Still need many miles to get used to it and to work out how far I can trust the tyres around corners, but Im sure it will come in time.

One thing I have worked out tho is not ride down the garden to turn it around! I was doing the 40 point turn on the patio to get out and my bro says " why dont u just drive it around the garden? " Ok I thought and went round thinking that was much easier! until I got it on the road and realized my tyres and one of my boots had just found probably the only pile of dog turd in the garden !!!

timed saved = nil !! lesson learned :P

hope none of you where eating LOL

Glad your enjoying the bike, the experience you gain in this kind of weather comes in useful when the nice weather finally comes back

Roll on the Summer
