yeah, it was still in the rig fresh from 2 days of the carving. were you one of the ones that came up to me talking about bikes?

chappe-damm SV lover your title should read! lol
pics of yours? i sprayed my frame/swingarm in the garage. the panels and tank at work.

J4k3-there were plenty of yamaha's.
just so happened to be i had more skill/experience than the other riders.

Just so its clear.. im far from GOOD. i just have some time in the seat at places like deals gap VIR, road atlanta.. this was about the most formal sport riding training i've ever got.
and it wasnt all too much.

but yeah, sorry chappe. you missed out i guess. i would definitely PAY to do it again.

 

I didn't get a chance to talk to you, but I liked the look of the bike and also the tailgate set-up on the truck.

 

SV ftw!....too bad i sold mine 3 weeks ago :*(

had that bike for over 4 years...loved it like a fat kid love cake

 

i saw you sat afternoon at the BP. sweet looking bike.

 

thanks everyone. it's a blast for sure.

The tiregate on the truck normally holds my spare oversized hummer rim/tire that doesnt fit in the OE location underneath. It's also usually reversed so the tire is facing out and the whole unit sits inside the lines of the bed. it's real convienent to use and fits the bike(s) well.

I'd normally carry the tire just in the bed when i have a bike in, but i hauled up alot of gear from NC, just hoping i wouldnt have to resort to the OEM spare underneath.

My dad is also on a suzuki (intruder) and i had to head to BP to show him the hangout/meet there. I was itching to ride the bike back and hopefully out to wherever, but i was already on borrowed 'familytime' to make it to the beach meet.

Lots of plans still for the SV, mostly cosmetic free/cheap mods for now as money is tight with the new baby.

Still waiting on the photographer pics of the track day, they said they saw sparks flying from my Ti laced pucks

 

u ride that thing on the track on the stock sv rear shock?? O.o

 

no. it's a kawi 636 rear shock.
the front is TL1000 complete with 6piston calipers.

 

i took the chain guard off just to take that pic...

 

Nice! SV is a great bike, I miss my '03 a little bit (mostly when on the highway), people underestimate the bike. Great feel and awesome useable powerplant. I'm on a yami wr250x now, fun to throw around in the tight stuff

 

is there anything protecting your cluster?

i wish i got derlin sliders. i bought billet allum ones and they are so heavy.

What chin spoiler is that? i need one badly.

i think blacking out your swingarm would do wonders. they just look so OLD to me the way they are plainly box shaped. Like it sticks out contrasting the awesome frame.
