Wow!!!! Thats all I can think of right now. The way that front wheel skims the riders helmet, that could of taken him right out there and then. Whoaa.

Oh man, sorry to hear this! Sucks the big one.

My girl hit a deer in her Volvo, trashed the front end and this thing is built like a tank.....on the bright side...we have a freezer full of venison and boy it tastes good!!!

Pirelli Diablos. Great for track days and street use.

There's no way they should have allowed that many miles to be added on, screw 'em for all you can as they seem to be trying to screw you. When I bought my bike at Bridge, it was brand new and i collected it with 5 miles on the clock after they'd test ridden it. Nothing can reasonably explain yours m...

The man has taste

We knew that already, he rides an SV [/quote]


SV lovin' all the way.

That sucks...having a new boot wasted like that is infuriating.

Mmm...I'll keep my SVS for beating up on the street as it's already fast enough to get far too much PA State Trooper attention (already ).
A Beemer R1200GS for long stints....
and a Duc 996 for the track (Rode my mates 916 before leaving San Diego, now I'm hooked).

Mmm...2 days ago I touched up some paintwork of mine that was rubbed away by a rolled up set of waterproofs strapped to my grab rail on the epic journey, I sanded the plastics with what was marked as 400 grade paper, it came out super smooth. I thought smaller grading meant smoother paper??

They told him to wipe the dust off his reg plate or they'd write him a ticket for intentionally obscuring the digits.

Nice one...congrats....you're gonna love the SV!!
Remember, ride safe and at your own pace and have fun.

Went to the Stunt Wheelie School, up near Swindon, about 3 years ago now. It was pretty cool, the Bandit's hoisted so damn easily....cant wheelie my SV for crap but it's a different beast....and besides, if i dumped their bike it's part of the deal, if I dump mine, well I have to pay for it, so I do...

I never knew him but I am always saddened to hear of a loss to the motorcycling community.
RIP Miles. My condolences to his family and friends.

125mph and you only got 3 points and 60 quid fine? Damn, you were lucky to avoid an instant ban for doing over a ton!

Was always fortunate in Blighty, guess I was scared of the throttle back then. :wink: Since then, had the San Diego Sherriff/California Highway Patrol want me to pull over twice (flashing lights and waving arms) but I was in the twisties and in the time it took 'em to turn and chase me I was gone......
