My c.v.

hey, take yer time postie, the slower you are the less work i have!

btw, Cam - been done with the cloned card thingy im with the rbs bank and they were brilliant it's amazing what checks they have in place that can spot these things, they called me within a couple of hours of it going on and had already put a stop on my card, you will probably be sent out a disclaimer to sign and send back, once youve done that then the money will be put back in. Some git used my card to top up a virgin mobile payg phone in the cambridge area whilst i was 'up here' - silly people - don't they realise it can still be traced!

Pretty much all PAYG topups get routinely checked, for a long time about 40% of all credit card fraud was on phones. Nobody really gets caught for it, the hardware's available to trace an unregistered phone but it's not really practical in numbers. But most banks will tell the phone provider at least, and get the line blocked.

I'm a music teacher, so not much use to anyone, as for the bike stuff, In the 2 months I've had my SV I have had to learn how to change a choke cable, change a clutch lever, change a gear lever, fix a leaking clutch cover and de rust the hooks under the rear seat, did i buy a lemon? Me thinks so

music teacher??for what ??do you specialise (guitar /piano etc)or just music in general?

You've got "real" suspension on your bike though. Nothing really subjective about setting up suspension on a stock SV. The only thing you can do is set the rider sag (preload) and that's universally 25mm whatever your weight. The downside is that most people set discover they need stiffer springs to achieve proper rider sag.

I agree it does become subjective when you introduce compression and rebound but since there's no damping adjustment on an SV there's nothing to worry about.

Certainly true that... If you can hold a c-spanner you can set up an SV

Don't those things on top of the forks do anything? Look like little screwdriver slots.? Never touched em, but I do wonder...

I teach traditional music for the RSAMD, I run a school in the Sighthill area of glasgow, teaching Pipes, Fiddle, Bodhran and Sccots song.
