Lucky it was a closed road that he was doing that on eh?

Really? that's completely irresponsible behaviour then.. If you see him around be sure to give him a good kick up the arse from me.

I have to say Zapf, your SV650 is looking VERY nice.... What do you think of it????

**sAsLEX** · 22nd November 2004, 19:40

have you thought of adding the little bottom fairing like on Spank's ?

**Redstar** · 22nd November 2004, 20:10

I have some pictures to upload but can't work out how to do it?

great to hear that Ninjaboy is up and about!, sic bike..... just a funny side to this, i asked luke what he thought about the crash, ( just to see what he was thinking, maybe was scared etc.) he said he was a bit sad, why i asked, the response... the bike looked stuffed! now that Ninjaboy is ok ..is it ok to laugh?

Weeellll... nah mate - I've met scarier people than you.

I think the bike problem was probably rider error - but from your observational point of view do you think there might be a problem with the bike as well?

I had a look and there was no chain wrap,the box was free and tyres up there was a 3 metre skid on the left side lane to the middle line there was no peg gouges or oil so in short it was a panic overbrake on the apex of a long bend. But I'm not an expert on this stuff and there might have been a bird strike! yep tell the insurance there were a few birds around at the time

TS, I am meanting to put up a review of it... but getting round to writing it is always a challange. Its heaps quicker than my VTR250 that I can say... all that is required for passing cages now is just turn right wrist a little and the deed is done. The suspension is a bit wonky from the factory, its got a secoundry bounce after hitting bumps. Hence in corners it goes wide, it can be corrected for by the rider but it does make me slightly slower. So I think getting front suspension sorted will be 1st thing. And then the brakes need some work on too, as the 1st squees of the front brake is a bit spongy and then its a bit better after that. So perhaps braided hoses? or cheap pads and fluid?

sAsLAX, nice photoshoping...

wonder if the fairing will make my bike faster heheheh.

oh and might get my wheels colour changed... silver ones are damm hard to keep clean.
