Re: Sun Rain and Wind

Nice shots, Jerry!

Are you saying the SV handling is just too boring?

Re: Sun Rain and Wind

Handling boring???

Naw, just steer it with your knees, and work the fun handle.

I will throw up some pictures from our ride to the Moto GP in Indy last month.

Re: Sun Rain and Wind

A track day would be fun and a great way to get a better feel for the bike.

A lot of the roads that we ride have no side roads or houses on them, thus less distractions.
This is where we do most of our spirited riding.

Re: Sun Rain and Wind

Looks like a fine day at the track, Jerry! Who's your friend?

I guess I just misunderstood your statement about 'wasted 5 years'. Have you owned the SV for 5 years, or have you ridden something else for 5 years when you could have been riding the SV?

Re: Sun Rain and Wind

After a long lapse I started back riding 5 years ago.

Just got the SV. Had other bikes.
