Don't tell anyone, but I like a curvy frame when it is covered with pointy plastics. Does this make me a pervert?

A curvy looks like a bag of groceries that's been shrink wrapped to save space

I moved to Michigan about 8yrs ago, and settled here and haven't had a bike since. The roads are nasty where I live, but once two wheels are in the blood, they stay there. I only want to pootle around the district really.

The SV is red (metallic burgundy?), with fender tidy, and a Yoshi toblerone, but apart from that, no mods. But get this - 1500miles in 6yrs. The bike has never seen rain, nice warm clean garage, and the previous owner is an aircraft mechanic. Does it get any better than that! The original exh and fender are wrapped in bubble wrap!

So - what's a curvy, and what's a pointy. Tried searching, but of course with terms like that the search results are the entire forum. Mine has no fairing at all, so it's a blunty? Ah - maybe mines curvy with no fairing and with fairing is pointy?

As far as I know, nobody in the U.S. refers to them as 'curvy' or 'pointy'. Here, they are referred to as 1st gen. and 2nd gen.
You should be taking the bike to Tennessee, the eastern half of the state has some great roads!

I got very confused when Mr LPH asked how many of my friends had roundies as apposed to spikeys. Which sounded like some sort of Madonna/Lady Gaga costume competition.

Funnily enough wideguy, I'm in Pigeon Forge as I write this. Came down on vacation, but sadly in the truck. The roads round here would have been Amazing on a bike. Note made for the future!
