DSPUK Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 I live near Whitchurch in Shropshire and cafe at roundabout at start of bypass is always crowded on sundays - In my day it was Alex's on ringway in Birmingham. Some times I wish I had a bike again but I would be scared to death of car drivers. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livefast123 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 I used to ride Ammanford - Llandeilo - Llandovery - Sennybridge - across the top to Cray then Ystradgynlais and then back to Ammanford via Swansea and the M4 as one of my fav routes on the ZX6R. Then I met my lovely partner, bought a house, had kids and the bike had to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJ91 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) All this talk of bikes makes me want another. If only I had the funds. I miss the sunny evening rides on the SV. Only 22 but I am a plodder..sports bikes just dont do It for me. Ride safe people. Tj Edited June 7, 2013 by TJ91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJ91 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 I did love the SV, an easy ride, nice and light. Quick enough for me and did well in the corners. Cheap enough to run aswel. I tried a couple of sports bikes but i just couldn't get on with them. Comfort over speed for me! May have to thin out surplus gear and have a save up..ready for next summer...we have had our 3 dry hot days for this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 I got rid of my last bike when my youngest son started taking too much interest in it. That frightened me, I don't want him riding bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Mother Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 You beauty!! Why have you got rid of that? What you getting next? Waiting to see if I win a Tiger later today It was an awesome bike and in perfect condition, however, I just lost the passion for it. I'm going to see a Speed Triple 1050 next week. B) What have you got? Twin or single swinger? Good look with the Tiger. Which model is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
