Muhahahaha...i got 3. Although one was from my mum. (why do mums send valentines cards to their children. I've tried to explain but she keeps sending them!)

Anyhow forget cards....they're worthless/useless. They go straight in the bin after the obligatory shake for cash.

I got a big cookie monster.

With your new found mate in Hinkley, why not go for a speed triple instead? Hooliganism to the max!

You poor thing. ET sort it out!

Here have an extra

ASM, I would never publically admit getting a Valentine's card from your own mum. It's just not cricket. Must be a weird French thing.

And no, my wife is not up for grabs. I like to hoard my girlies.

Steering damper: £200 - £300 new
Stage 1 dynojet including maps and air filter: £350
New rearsets: £400

I would also be looking at a custom paint job (£700) and also some polished rims (£200).

That's a lot of money but it would be very unique.

Thoughts, opinions all welcome. Oh and I would only use the Hornet for sunny days and meets etc.
This sort of money would buy you a nice SV650

Thanks, I just had this lovely vision in my head of a really cool looking Hornet with shiny bits all over it...............droool.
And at the end of the day it's still a Honda...buy a new bike.

Hmm, the words 'SV' and 'nice' just don't work for me.

Being a Honda means it doesn't rust after 5 mins. My bikes is living testament to that. My SV rusted after a month, the hornet is still looking good after 20'000 miles with not so much as a deep cleaning sesh.

Honda's rule!

Anyway, er. I've found some cool carbon discs. Only thing is they are 1500 smackers for the pair.
