SV Bling

[manuboy]

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...

[Sniper]

Nice bike, don't let that bloody D near it. He is trouble you know.

You able to find an excuse to go for a ride tomorrow? :)

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!!

[Zed]

Nice bike Joni...So that's Joni's new wheels huh?? Wow Jo, great ride! Glad you got down there safe and sound. Now you Chch lads & lasses take good hear of her now ya hear! :grouphug:

Apart from when it shits itself, what was it? Relays or something? He offered me a ride then mentions that it broke down, thank fark I wasnt riding it, when it shit itself, dodgy bluddy Italian electrics....:slap:

[manuboy]

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....

[skelstar]

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)! :niceone:

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)


Nice bike, don't let that bloody D near it. He is trouble you know.
It lives at my place..... thats my wheelie hack and shopping basket (manu dosent know that tho)

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 :lol: 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)



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....
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 :violin:

Ps: wellcome to Chch Joni

[Rashika]

Could be worse dude, could have spent half ya life behind the trash mans rear?... bet ya stoked he went north...

VTWIN was my greatest influence. If you can attach it to an SV he's done it... and i hear he's not too shabby in the twisties....

Oh yeah, Welcome to Chch Joni.... stock the fridge will ya?

pffffffff..... man i rewired that thing you call a guzzi while you went thru the socket set ... nup, too little, nup, too big, hmmmmm... it was no coincidence the guzz made it to Kicks man! Ungrateful!

[Riff Raff]

Could be worse dude, could have spent half ya life behind the trash mans rear?... !
That's what Kickaha was doing last night! And I thought Dangerous was sposed to be the dodgy one!

Never met the trashman (WT). Yeah VT is getting faster eh...getting rid of his SV though...I think hes eyeing up a K6 Gixxer :)...(another one)

[Ms Piggy]

I'm just glad Joni mader it ok! :2thumbsup Sorry I couldn't meet you at the Ferry Terminal in Wgtn Joni :(

My god is Kickaha's oven actually work though?? Careful luv you might get an electric shock! ;)

WOuld have to say that since I have a relatively uncommon bike, and Im still kinda learning, I would rather not ride with guys that have the same bike. When youre riding a 'slowish-top speed' 250, the individuals riding skill is shown a bit more. Cant blame the bike if youre slower than he is (pathetic I know).

[Sniper]

Oh yeah, Welcome to Chch Joni.... stock the fridge will ya?


Sensitive to a womens needs arn't ya :killingme

[James Deuce]

another one...yeah!!!

Nah, there's another person in Wellington with enough nouse to avoid the Gixxer trap.

You know why they don't bother buildinng Gixxer's with a decent finish? Because the average lifespan of a Gixxer is about 9 months.

[Joni]

Well for the record, that Guzzi together with the Buell and the SV with its flash pipes make quite a loud entrance into a quiet neighbourhood! What a stunning welcome... :2thumbsup

Thank guys for coming around, was good to see you.

Cathy - Yes the oven does work, but the scary thing is what he usually puts in it... I wont say you wont believe me, you know him well enough that you would! :slap:

bowing....any excuse for a blat, gave me a chance to test my headlights out in the dark (they go very well Skelster!)
and my tinted viser too... nope sadly I DIDN'T get pulled over by a cop :spudwhat:

[skelstar]

...(they go very well Skelster!)...
Very good thank you.

thats coz there such awesome machines their owners ride them more often than competing marques...so exposed to the elements more I guess

[James Deuce]

If the elements you mention are, gravel, tarseal, fence posts, and turkeys, then yes they probably are more exposed to the elements.

[cowpoos]

Thats why I might have to buy british...someones gotta keep the faith.

british.......oh no........really. only a speed triple is a respectable morden british bike....and the jury is still out on the 675 :wait:

[skelstar]

british.......oh no........really. only a speed triple is a respectable morden british bike....and the jury is still out on the 675 :wait:
Which jury??? I havent read that many reviews but the ones I have said that its brilliant. Anyway...lets avoid this decending into superbike comparisons. I dont need 636/GSXR power...I think the 675/650/600 looks better than anyting else in that class (as far as I can remember). ;)

[Rashika]

Very good thank you.
I had this really odd sensation...riding along and I kept seeing this light off in the distance, then got closer to the motorway and saw it again....ahhhh the light goes off in me brain: it was my headlight reflecting of road signs, so YES in answer to your queries about the brightness of the headlights at night they are AWESOME! :2thumbsup
oh and that was only with main regular lights, didn't use my highbeam, wasn't quite pitch black yet, didn't want to blind all the oncoming traffic :lol:

[manuboy]

Sensitive to a womens needs arn't ya :killingme

just to keep you happy, i remember that thread you posted about getting pulled for a tinted visor. Last night at 9:20pm (darkish) i rode through a major cattle stop - 14 pigs + all the flashing lights you'd ever want to see.

When i say rode through it, i mean they waved me on... tinted visor and all.. hehe..... so it was just a one off for you, not a policy thing....


If the elements you mention are, gravel, tarseal, fence posts, and turkeys, then yes they probably are more exposed to the elements.

hahahahahahahaahahaha... qik somebody put that in the "quotes" thread... hahahaha... shit i like the beasts but thats funny........

[**R1**]

man i get a bit antsey when i'm out / about and somebody scoots past on a blue SV... or being at a rally and some dude spots ya and parks beside ya on his blue SV. Like chicks and outfits....

You guys immune???cant say i have that problem anymore, but then it was never that bad coz i dont like those comon suzuki's

Yamaha for the best, Suzuki for the rest:nya:

[Uncle B]

VTWIN was my greatest influence. If you can attach it to an SV he's done it... and i hear he's not too shabby in the twisties....
Thanks mate. I still love twins but I'm comming to the end of the road on the SV. I've got all the bling bits but to carry on being up with the play I would be looking at spending some serious dosh on her.
Go take out a Gixer K5/K6 for a spin......you won't regret it.

The SV will be on the market in about a weeks time if any body is interested.

I had a qik spurt (not literally....) on a K4 - outrageous but not a bike that i'd live with for long i don't reckon.

Yeah i've got a long term plan, involves a k{insert digit here} for about 6 months, then a V-Strom so i can get some real touring done, then mebee sumthin else, until i come to rest on a BMW, cos i Luv's em (and i've never ridden one). But plans are just that aye....

[manuboy]

The far right, red T is my mum. Half way thru the sex change Op and things are looking, well, pretty avg really

The staunch chick centre is her best mate - just been released from Mt Eden , did time for riding a buell.

The hand-on-hips on the left is just some groupy that wandered in off teh street. Kept running her hands over my weapon (stoked she lept away fro m the bike tho.....)

[SpeedyGirl]

Joni babe, welcome to ChCh... we will have a lot of fun, need more of the girls down here to keep the guys here in line!!! :bleh:

Hell no....... have you seen what Dangerous, Kickaha, Biff, TonyB, Sniper, Gav (just to mention a few) can get up too... the girls need all the help we can get... especially if you mix Dangerous and drink! :killingme

So, what youre saying is you ride a girls bike?
As for the SV bling, I was struggling to see what you'd actually changed from standard! Is that one less tooth on the rear sprocket or something?
PS Hiya Joni:drinkup:

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

small issue with englais comprehension there G? that's be why you bought that blouse machine... thought it said Ducati on the side :bleh:

[gav]

"Colour matched seat cowl, blah blah blah" sorry thought half that shit came standard, see my bike? Seat cowl standard mate :yes:
Just thought "bling" meant stuff that you know, someone apart from an anorak wearing Suzuki vee twin owner might glance at and think "wow, look at those cool mods!" instead of "hmmm, gay cheap arse standard front indicators...." hang on, you've removed those homo side indicator thingys off the fork legs, nice touch :2thumbsup

[kro]

Those SV's have a lot going for them, styley looking machine, good torquey mill in them too. That looks very tasty, I love the little stainless guards over the coolers, thats sexy.

[Kickaha]

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,

I thought she might be hungry after her trip so I left some food out for her :yes:



...and who says GUZZIS cant do parlour tricks, nice burnout D :lol:

He'd have to do it on the lawn though as that Italian shitter wouldn't have the power to do it on the seal :finger:



Cathy - Yes the oven does work, but the scary thing is what he usually puts in it... I wont say you wont believe me, you know him well enough that you would! :slap:

[Dafe]

The SV is definately a great bike, good value for money!

About a month ago I pulled into a petrol station in Woodville, no less than five SV's there. They're so common now. Seeing so many around I've recently become very used to their look. Quietly, I'm glad I've moved on!
However, I'll always be fond of the old SV!

[cowpoos]

If the elements you mention are, gravel, tarseal, fence posts, and turkeys, then yes they probably are more exposed to the elements.

well yes jim...your correct once again...gixxers are alot better on all surfaces not just the bitumin un-like competing marques who are scared of alsorts of excuses not to be ridin....

Ps: you missed out rabbits :bleh:
