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.

Then you should consider Liz's bike. It's about the same size.

Yep it was taking up space at her parents so we collected it and its sat in my garage at the moment. She doesnt ride it as she prefers her K5 so we would like to get it sold.

Nah, not seen any for a while. Carricks might have one, not even they could break a Virago... They go on forever as long as you change the exhaust every 25,000 miles

Fizz do you mind, I am not that short, and Carsick don't call my perfectly adequately sized bike a mini moto. Just cos Viney looked like a giant when he sat on it, it's perfect for me.

Your just perfect Liz. Dont let that big horrible Fizzwheel tell you any different...hes just jelous that you can ride better than him

Fizz...re-read the post. She has this SV now she wants something smaller.

CS, other than the make, is there really any difference between a CB or GS ??
