winters here and a lowside as a result - SV650.org

03-12-04, 01:08 PM

Well as an occasional contributor I hope peeps don't mind me sharing my unfortunate lowside story.

First off I've had in 2 years, but pulled out from the side of the road on Brighton seafront on freezing evening and promptly found myself on my knee facing oncoming traffic.

Guess it's a little reminder that those days of cranking it over and gunning the engine are gone until spring

Must say that the totally OTT JHS crash bungs did their job. End of brake lever snapped and aftermarket screen shattered, but that was it.

Take care folks

p.s. just love my K2 SVS. More than 3 years on I just couldn't sell it. Too much fun for so little money!

bummer....

at least you got off lightly... certainly true on the adjusting your riding for winter front, starting to get very cold already
