Gidday To All

**k1w160** · 22nd July 2005, 14:39

"Discovered" the KB site on the SV1000 site last night and signed right up.

Have been riding for 30 years (even survived a stint as a motorcycle courier in the 80's) and have gone through Harley, BMW plus the big four from Japan.

After badly tearing a calf muscle kick starting my XS650 cafe racer (see pic below), the wife finally said something staggeringly intellegent "for crying out loud - sell that machine and get something new that will start and won't need to be worked on everytime you ride it".

Being the ever compliant husband, I did exactly what she said (probably for the first time in 20 years), and test rode a few bikes - and bought the SV1000S home.

Great to have a kiwi site like this - hope to meet a few of you on the road or at a track day.

Keep it shiny side up.

All the best.

C.U.

Welcome. Hope you also kept that fine yamaha even if it's only to look at as it's soooo pretty....

Welcome

May I also compliment you on a fantastic wife who deserves to be spoiled something rotten.

When I got back into biking, my GB400TT cost me a piano for my wife at twice the price, can't remember the quid pro quo for the K100RS and the Blackbird cost an MX5

She's one in a million!

I haven't heard of those. Which which witchddoctor do I buy them from?

They must be one of those new-fangled anti-insanity drugs, coz I've not heard of them before now.

Must google them, so I can see if it comes up with multitudinous lawsuits and class actions like the last lots of pills I was given (hope the dungfish in the sewers liked those...)

P.S It was my wife who said I had a mental age of 5. Probably 5 gerbils.

That XS650 cafe racer looks great ... pity it had to go.

But what a replacement. Good taste getting the SV.

Welcome to the site.

your must not read a lot of Terry Pratchetts' books then VifferMan. they have a halucenogenic affect to make crazy people halucinate they are being sane. the strange thing is they make them actually act sane. in fiction when the unseen university's computer went mental from communicating with the vice chancellor they had to type in "lots of dried frog pills" into the inputerator thingy in order to cure it.

HEX. It's HEX. Don't annoy it. Was it the Vice Chancellor, or the Bursar. It's the Bursar that depends on regular doses of dried frog pills.
