It was 10 years ago today that I bought my first SV.
Hard to believe that it's that many years ago.
Lots of great memories. A 3 week, 7000 mile trip in '99. Converting it to a race bike later that year and getting my first win. The crazy racing year in '01, 2 different sprint series, plus endurance, plus Daytona. **** near dying on one in '02. (ok, so that's not such a great memory.) Racing on other people's SV teams in '04 and '05. Getting another street SV in '06. Race prepping it this year.
I've owned 30+ bikes over the years, but a good chunk of the best times of my life have been associated with the SV. Can't imagine not owning one. ;D
