I SORN'd my bike :(
Feels bad man... Realised I'd only ridden it twice this year, and I'd only used it for commuting before that, new job is only 2 miles from the house so I'll never ride to work. Weekends taken up with mountain biking and Real Life...
But I can't sell it! Wouldn't get what it's worth to me anyway but it'd just feel so wrong. So the stripy green SV is up the back of the garage, tucked up nice and warm under an old army blanket, waiting patiently. But it's still a bit sad.

Re: I SORN'd my bike :(
That's a bit of a shame.
Yours was the first heavily modified SV I saw when I parked a couple of rows in front of you at Kelso Bikefest - maybe 5 years ago or more. It sowed a seed about GSXR front ends and the like. In fact, it's all your fault.

Same here. Over the past couple of years my bike has stood still more than it has moved and been sorn more than it's been taxed.

 I'm hoping that what happens is, in 6 months or a year or whatever I look at it and think "I want a go on that" and spend a bit of time bringing it back up to spec- to be honest it's a bit sheddy now after another scottish winter and not getting enough love. So maybe Northwindmobile v3 will come along. There's a set of newer GSXR forks and a pair of Busa pistons in the garage
