New here! - SV650.org

Hi all,

this is my first here although I've been reading the excellent forums here for a month or so. I bought my first bike today - K3 SV650S in Bronze - I know what some will say, "oh no it's a bronze pointy, what an idiot", but I like it and that's what counts I suppose. Oh, one problem though, I haven't actually passed my test yet so that's the next priority!!!!

I just wanted to say hi anyway, and thanks to all those who have unsuspectingly had a contribution to me joining 'the club'! I thought about buying a ZX6 or CBR 600 but I've been convinced to go for the SV by a lot of the stuff I read on here - I hope it wasn't a poor choice

. I'm also looking forward to meeting up with anyone in the Fife area.

If someone can explain how to post a picture then I will.

Cheers

Laurie

Bronze SV's are well nice me thinks, look classy with all the extra bits on!!!

As for posting a picture you'll need to upload your pics to a host site, i use http://photobucket.com/ . You then copy the html address of the pic you want to upload and then paste it into your post using this symbol

. Hope that helps (HTH) Rich!!!!

nice one mate! good luck with the test.

I only passed mine a week or go - got a SK3, like yours but in silver - was tempted with a zx6 or cbr too, but am soooo glad I went for the SV.

Good luck!

Billy.
