I'm BACK!!! - Page 2 - SV650.org

I'm keen

but only on Sunday

I don't have any indicators on my bike, or lights.

I do have a horn though and a back brake light and lots of plastic held together by stickers, so I am legal.

Probably best you ride in the middle of the pack then mate. Could be safer for you not being able to leave an indicator on though.

Have you got your dodgy front end sorted? Was it just the tyre pressure?

06-07-12, 08:54 AM

Yes, sorted. It only had 10psi in???? arggghh.

I'm still going through the "oh, I didn't notice that, that's a bit naff" stage.

Got to keep reminding myself that's it's a track bike first and foremost and a bit of naff finishing doesn't matter.

Off to Cadwell Park for 2 days on the track next week, need a spin at the weekend to get friendly with it.

He's always slow, just thinks he's quick! Now he's been to TVAM he rides everywhere at 30 decked out head to toe in hi-viz. now smokes a pipe when he pulls over to adjust his slippers.

Me and he had a very sedate ride out on he way home from TVAM but it did get a little exciting when a burst of smoke from the rough shag in my pipe temporarily obscured a particularly exciting righthander and as auntie Nathan was filling in his ride diary at the time he nearly followed me into the same field!

Hopefully fallout can give us both a lesson in sprightly riding.

I hate that! Looking forward to seeing it though mate. So long as it's riding well now and you don't feel you were done by the seller, don't worry about it.

Well that's only a small step down from your previous bikes miniscule, epilepsy inducing ones.

You'll need to be ready to respond should another epicuro come up! You'll kick yourself of you miss another one and end up with some half hearted sports bike

Your obsessed with Epicuro's. Stop all that weird babbling or I'll end up buying one.
