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

OK.Hands up.I admit it.I don't own an SV and I never have owned one.
I ride one most days though as it belongs to Mrs Biggles and Master Biggles has just bought one as well,making two curvies in the garage.Had it four and a half years now.

Because I dropped / crashed my SV once too many times... so thought I'd get something more to my (lack of) ability...




Think I got a death wish ??

Mutley - that's a nice bike. But that top box and panniers are so big that the Royal Mail will give them their own post code

Valleyboy - you must be in the fire service so you can slide down a pole into your boots

Me - well I sort of sold my SV to the insurance company

Present bike is here:

My 3 bikes

the SV



The Gixxer, which I've not collected from the dealer yet



And my current form of transport, as the SV is off the road at the moment. Which I've just fitted new front & rear tyres to and new inner tubes. and now my thumbs hurt, I'd forgotten how difficult it is to get the fricken tyres on

Hey Sythree, nice bike: is it a W650 or a Bonneville I can see parked behind yours? :P

Ive got no where else to keep my boots... so they go right next to the bike... gotta make sure they arent anywhere that water will drip off the bike though.. or I get soggy boots the next day
