There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

I also saw a very nice yellow curvy at stratford rugby club today.

Also, for the folks near me, anyone suggest decent places to buy kit? I'm in need of a lid and was going to have a drive over to midlands superbikes tmrw to generally have a mooch about there stock, both bikes and kit.

As for my worst photo, suffice to say it was a hair metal theme night and no one should ever be made to where pink spandex. It will never be seen on here.

Midlands Superbikes is probably a good place to go to. We pop over there fairly often, and last time we went they had a few SV's. Their selection of kit is fairly good too.

you'll come to trust us so much, and have so much love for us, that you'll feel comfy revealing this photo to us all


besides, as good as my mental image of you is now, nothing beats a real photo. so put it up

Gratings.

That's a nice looking curvy on Autotrader. However, I'd try and get a dealer down to £1800 at the most (what I paid for mine a couple of years ago). Especially as the 15k service is quite a big one.

More importantly, it's yellow. Good choice of bike that!

Well, back from Midland Super bikes, bought an AGV helmet but the Svs they had were a little out of my budget, a pointy at 3k+ and a curvy around 2.5ish. It was a decent drive across though and I'm sure it will be more fun on a bike.

We were half thinking about popping over there today, but didn't know what time you would be there, and you wouldn't have known who we were, so we went for a ride instead Yeah, their bikes are a tad on the pricey side sometimes. Is there nothing for sale on here that's suitable?

Not at the moment, a couple of decent looking nakeds but ideally I want something half faired. I'm in no rush though, just gonna keep my eyes open and I'm sure something will come up.
