knot 2 bad a day 4 a ride

No probs. I'll take constructive criticism, especially since i'm pretty new to the motard thing. 30+ years of different motorcycles, and it's like learning all over again! But what a ride! It's interesting being able to review the habits (both good and bad) and the errors on video when you're home and the ring has stopped puckering. I bet it will be a useful tool at the track too.

Yes! I was tilting my head back as I was watching it too! I looked over at the wife while we were watching it, same again! Ha

Hey Erik. That was me today headed north on the motorway if that was you headed south around 2ish? Yellow SV with a tail pack? Near Takapuna?

It’s all in the way you say it, imagine if some others on KB had posted it, the kind of people everyone loves to jump all over and criticise;


“Thrashed someone else’s bike along 22, lots of slow riders that I went passed
Hey guy on the R1 you don’t have a shit show of going as fast as me cause I know the road, pm me if you want your arse kicked again (that goes for anyone else that thinks they’re good enough)……”

Hi Smokey,

have not had the pleasure of meeting you yet, however a few round hear know me, and would more than likely say I am not like that..

sorry if thats how it come across, at my age I have very little left to prove, but you are welcome to your point of view and I thank you for sharing it with us all..

regards

Not having a go at you - but for some reason if certain people post on KB similar stuff they get attecked for giving bikers a bad rep, given lectures about dieing and killing your self

good ;luck for Taupo mate

The sv is good, it's a big change from the bandit. More engine braking, more torque, a bit more grunt. I'm keeping the bandit though, I think I'll miss the whine of an inline 4 too much if I get rid of it.
Thanks.

30+ years of bikes! that beats my 4+ years by a bit. I've got a bullet camera I've used at trackdays, they're really useful to help figure out what went wrong when you fall off.

It wasn't me on the motorway, I've been at home all day hiding from the rain and recovering from staying up too late last night. It's surprising how many sv's have had pack racks fitted to them, they seem to be a popular touring bike. Mine came with one but I've removed it.
