SV650.org - SV650 & Gladius 650 Forum



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.

Where me and the bike stopped



Where the rear end dug in and stopped







Come a long way...



Bike dragged all along here



You can just see the bike at the top



Taken from the junction where the bike ended up, binned it just on that right hand corner

SV bowling, that's a new one

Any inclination to what caused it? Ice? Damp/grease?

Damp i think, it was nice and dry, but damp patches, thought ahh too fast for this corner (it always sneaks up on me and ive done it 5 times...) hit the front (wrong) brake and just went from under me

Ahh I see, ah well your alright that's the main thing.
those plastics round the headlight may be pricey and hope your forks are in a good way...if not there's always a silver lining in the shape of a fork upgrade.
