BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

Took the sv out for a blast today, took a minor detour to a local bike shop with the missus on the back. Decided to start picking the bike we will get next summer anyway to cut a long story short. Test rode a triumph sprint st, came back and promptly part ex'd the sv in against it.
Felt so nice and relaxed plodding along at 100 odd, on the sv i coulnt breath over 80 today cause of the wind!!!

Roll on next sat its collection day

Nice one - I had had my Sprint ST1050 for about 6 months now, and love it - have covered around 3500 miles, and did 670 miles two up on a trip to North Wales and back in a weekend a couple of weeks ago.

Check the headlight alignment - they are usually set too low, I have upgarded the bulbs to nightbreakers which helps - seriusly considering a HID conversion now though, and a set of trident pipes

Will check that out though to be fair dont do to many dark miles these days.
Trident pipes look good are there many others available? Havent done to much research was sort of a spur of the moment purchase.
Really cant wait to collect it then for the good weather to come again

On another note gonna strip my sv of its k-tech springs 0.85kg, gsxr calipers and adapter brackets and will hopefully be able to get the carbon can off which will all be for sale in the very near future

D&D and IXIL also do pipes, however I think the Ixils look crap and I haven't found a UK supplier of D&Ds yet
