SV Bling

**manuboy** · 8th December 2005, 21:23

Ah yeah. Fark its hot tonight. Wicked sunset tho.

Joni arrived. She would have offered hot sweaty bikers a drink but Kickaha had NONE. He did have a 3 day old pie on the stove, but we flagged it cos he might have actually cooked it himself. Nah, there are cobwebs on his stove elements... (as there should be aye man)

Anyways... the SV got some aftermarket treatment (yeah yeah, it's still just an SV though)

1. Joni, some strange lady who was telling the freak to get his hand off it (she's alwayas telling him, he's a slow learner)

2. Same retard - fast way to bleed the rear brakes

3. Colour matched seat cowl + hugger (same guy that did Aarons R1) + Powerbronze radiator/oil protectors + custom fender elim & integrated LED indicators

4. Again

5. Jodi's luggage mover + the kids

6. Rashika's lack of throttle control can be hazardous to lawns - close call missing the cat too.... phew...

Cheerz man

Needed the rack to get the hugger to D's - he had the mouting bracket... yeah, doesn't really enhance the style aye...

Jees - first time ever i nailed it coming onto one of the northern motorway onramps - front wheel went minor skyward and then just keep "bouncing" until it turned into full on tankslapper - didn't react to well... just kept it nailed and by the time i had her under control i was half way up D's ass end.... i don't think he saw a thing..... twas close!!

Thanks!

Stanadard issue Ventura system... rack itself just gets replaced with grab rail when ya don't need it, obviously can't remove the entire system without removing most of the sub frame though!

Yeah, i have this strange freakin feeling he enjoys it when it shits itself, like "phew, it's a real guzzi", not one of those clockwork jappa shitters....

Those are some nice toys you guys have got down there. Nice blinged out SV dude. Have spent half my biking life following SV1000's (Dafe, VTWIN)!

1. How the hell can the freaks hand be on it when his hands in his pocket, and yet 'it' hangs down near the knee

2. best and fastest way to remove OEM parts.....
Manu yells out D... 'cant loosen this screw' (his missus does all the hard stuff at their place including dressing him) so I grabed us both a beer, I removed the OEM shit at the rear with the bolt cutters (cos Manu said... 'ohhhh how does this come off' I said 'watch this'
anyway I removed the header pipe, belly pan and OEM radiator guard fitted the new shit and replaced it all again.... and I drunk my beer..... looked up and Manu was still trying to get the cap off his beer :slap:

6. Yeah well TonyB always said that bike was a lawn mower (sorry bout ya mint lawn Kickaha)

OHHHHH... yeah I was watching in the mirror as I nailed the Guzzler to the red zone, even with 91hp I still left the 110hp japper behind

was funny watching the SV weave out of control from one side of the rd to the other (thought Suzuki solved that TL habit on the SV)

Ya know... when we arived at Kickahas i was just stoked that the spaggiti wiring dident go up in a puff a smoke and the bike shit its self

Ps: wellcome to Chch Joni
