Hi
good to hear from you, and I will mention you to Roz next week.
The biggest difference in 25 years I think is tyres, they are so much
better than they used to be. As for the SV650 a good place to start
riding, it normally takes me a couple of months to really get to know
the limits of a bike, and be totally confident of what it will or more
importantly won't do. So enjoy the bike and just gently push it bit
harder as your confidence grows.
We are planning to start a Kickstart bike club, Nothing serious, just
easy fun rides out and a chance to be social.
Keep in touch or look in here from time to time and I will post up the
details, or drop by the office late one afternoon and say hello.
best wishes Peter
