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. |

Re: Hello
Welcome to the asylum.
I'm not sure there's much point trying to p*ss the cagers off. Just accept that most of them are cr*p drivers and overtake when the opportunity comes. |

Re: Hello
Welcome.
Stay out of the way of automobiles, did you not learn during your altercation with the van? |

Josh big welcome to the site but please calm down a little and change your attitude before getting something more powerful than your Piaggio. Yes car drivers can be a royal pain but sometimes they just don`t see us.... i`m guessing, as you`ve already written of your aprilia into a van, that maybe you need to improve your observation skills? Attitudes like yours scare me and I don`t want you to be yet another statistic to add to the already way too large number of motorcycle fatalities. Calm down lad!!!

Re: Hello
Welcome Josh
 As others have said, cars will win in a coming together, so try not to find out. Even a restricted sv will leave most cars standing so just wait a few seconds then smoke em Most important advice I can give, stay alive !! |

Re: Hello
Hey, it's cool, nobody sets out to crash (except that Svengali guy on Youtube), just a warning that there's no point being aggressive when you're the vulnerable party.
I hate to think what insurance on an SV for a 17 year old is gonna be... |

Re: Hello
33bhp makes no difference to insurance. I expect it won't be cheap but it shouldn't be too bad either.
My advice, 1: Get a cheap curvy you won't mind bending a bit 2: Make sure your insurance company is reasonable about 33bhp "certificates" before you start the policy 3: Ride fast on nadgery B roads. Any fackin pussy can open throttle in a straight line.
