I miss it sometimes.
The individuality. The naughtiness. The ability to park so close to places. The noise. The vibe. The corner speed. The rear wheel slide on a wet day into a corner. The very small margin for error. Then I do think, maybe next summer, it's too cold at the mo. |

![]() Exactly. You want something enough, you sacrifice other things. My dad doesn't drink, or smoke, or waste money on anything. He'll take his own food on day trips instead of paying £5 for a mank burger. Result? Concourse Condition Kawasaki Z900 Concourse condition Honda CBX1000Z Benelli Tornado LE A very nice car. And he works for the NHS earning bugger all per year before you say he must earn loads, he just puts his money to good use. He hardly earns anything. |

some of us have invested a lot of time into this "hobby" , I didn't have anything as good as an SV for at least ten years.

In my situation, short of getting a loan/selling a lot of my current possessions/assets (the bike) i would not be able to get another bike, let alone a second bike. As stated i struggle to support the one bike as it is. Different people, different situations. As said, i'm a student with a part time job to cover as much of my costs as possible, without slipping further into debt for the time being. Maybe in a few years when i have a full time job and am in a position to afford yearly holidays etc i will definately choose the bike over a trip to some sunny country. For example this year i already worked my ass off over summer to have enough money to tour France on the bike with some good friends.
