Yeah. Throttling up or down through a tunnel is a Good Thing on an SV.

Portsmouth Road in Suburbiton is pretty good for that.

I'm not a "whoooooo" type either, but on the rare occasion that I surprise myself with "good riding" (usually with a slide of some kind, long wheelie over a crest or similar) I'd like to say I go for a reserved "I say!" or "Capital!" with a modest grin, but to my slight shame it's really just a schoolgirl-esque giggle whilst looking around to see if anyone noticed and perhaps thought I looked cool.

Last week-end, on the road that is parallel to the M74 down to Moffat (you can go faster than the traffic on the M/way - the road I'm on is empty woooooooo!
The Moffat to St. Mary's Loch road, same day - more of a Blur's woooohooooo, etc!
And sometimes when I've had a really good day, once the bike is tucked up in the garage, I even give the tank a wee peck!

Went down that road a few years back at a thoroughly indecent lick only to see a traffic motor at the roundabout at the south end. We pulled in just after we passed at 30 and pulled into a layby.

And whooped and jigged.

Making a corner you thought you were not or having the fuzz none the wiser is always cause for celebration.

A biker doing a jig. Now that would look funny
