Racing/riding styles

I can't help but think that there is a certain anti-litre sports bike attitude(or maybe that should be sports bike) among some SV owners.

Sure some have bought a sports/expensive bike straight after passing their test....but so what....its their cash at the end of the day.

Also it seems to be presumed that if someone has a better bike, then they must automatically be an ********!

The bloke that came over to talk to LyleJ, might of just been being friendly. After all its surely better that he came over for a chat, rather than ignoring him!

Having met a diverse group of bikers, tbh there isn't really a particular group that has an excess of nobs amongst their ranks.

Oooops! Unintentional! Just have only ridden with Pete on rides where I'm 'leader'. I meant the way he does not ride in the blind spot.

Well, calling lyle's SV a 'girls bike' isn't a very friendly comment in my book. It just sounds like the typically dismissive, nob-headed comment of a weekend warrior to me.

Not all weekend warriors are nob-heads

But I agree it doesn't seem terribly friendly to refer to someone's bike as a 'girls' bike'.

My R6 has been referred to as a girls bike....its all banter and a bit of fun really isn't it!

It is a girls' bike. It's a girl who rides it.

Jealousy is such a terrible thing...you go back to slowly ambling around on that big green bogey of yours

its a well known fact, that the SV is a girls bike, but IMO there is nothing wrong with riding a girls bike,or wearing girls underware
