skyrider 0 #78 August 6, 2009 QuoteNow those old school chops are exactly what I love (I know they weren't old school when the picture was taken)! Great bikes! You wouldn't have an old XL or XXL open face helmet in the old Bell style that you'd like to part with, do you? I have been thinking about those "repops" that Biltwell is pushing. i'll look in the attic....gawd I hated those... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slowfaller 0 #90 August 6, 2009 Been riding since June '08. Starter bike was an '06 Suzuki s40 and This Feb I purchased an '09 Kawasaki Versys. Just passed 4100 miles on my V. I love that bike but would like something more comfortable for my wife (pillion) Kinda looking at Vstroms or maybe a Concours... --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #96 September 11, 2009 Very nice. That's the kind of bike that I like. I saw a guy's hard-tail pan in Ft. Worth a few years ago that had a SBS in a rack that he made to follow the hard-tail lines. You could over look it, if you weren't paying attention. Yes it was real, yes it was loaded and he had it where he could pull it out of his custom built rack with one hand. All in all, it was a very nice scooter. No billet, very little chrome and something that is ridden every day. I literally ride 7 days a week and look forward to it each day!--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LongWayToFall 0 #97 September 11, 2009 Just picked this baby up about 2 weeks ago. Less than 10,000 miles, in mint shape. I am so stoked! It hauls ass, and the brakes and handling are stellar. This isn't my exact bike, but looks just like it. Got hit by a car while riding a Buell XB12S, and the insurance helped to pay for it. Concrete slip and slide= No fun. SV650s are excellent bikes, glad to see a few on here. Helped my brother install an Ohlins rear shock and new front springs on his '03, and he is out doing a track day right now actually. Ride safe all! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4d/2001_Honda_RC51_SP1.jpg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FlyingJ 0 #100 September 11, 2009 Quote How da fuck did you put the link inside the post? New forum...I am lost.... Look at the buttons right below the text box. Click the URL box, paste the link you want to post and then click the /URL box. Easy as that! Edit to add: just did a bit of work to get my 94 Honda Shadow running again, psyched to ride again, and we end up with 3 days of street flooding rain. We need it as we are in an insane drought, but come on!!!Killing threads since 2004. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
