SV650.org - SV650 & Gladius 650 Forum



Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).
There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Had been lurking since April/May 2006, got my SV for my 30th b'day on 11th May, not sure when I signed up, but this was my first post. Different username back then.

Not quite a new to biking, but back after a 11 year stint of needing a car to earn pennies, but not quite earning enough to run a bike as well.

Stay in Harthill (no I'm not religious and not a football fan, I just needed a cheap house!).

Just bought a new K6. Cupar Motorcycles, MO couldn't match the price and frankly didn't seem like they wanted to. Done 1500 miles in the first two weeks, partly thanks to a trip to Skye.

My Skye (and rest of bloody Highlands) trip was 26th May with guys from work. It ****ed it down all weekend. Two days, 800 miles and 16 hours riding later we thoroughly agreed with Quedos....torture! Took the last two weeks on holiday for my hands and wrists to recover! Love to hear how you guys got on on the 17th.

So hello everybody, nice to (kind of) meet you. Would be interested in a rideout any time to meet properly, so give us a shout if your'e organising and I'll keep an eye on these posts.

This was mine.

Just bought myself an SV650 today, pick her up next saturday. T Reg Naked Model 12000miles FSH with a few trick bits on it.
The names Col and I am a plant hire manager & CBT Instructor at the weekend. I ride about 300 miles a week, whatever the weather (except snow).
What is the finish on these SV's like? will it be ok in the good old English winter.

A search doesn't produce mine but I remember it only too well.

It was to let the forum know that my friend, who I knew was a member here, had had a very bad crash and was in a serious condition in hospital.

Saw the X rays of that crash again recently - didn't we Si!

I never did put that bike on the track - I put it back to standard, kept it for 9 months then sold it after I bought the SV650S K5 that's now being cared for by Rai86
