got my sv1000s yesterday. my first bike ever. i had to wait till i was 36 years old to feel safe 'enough' with my demons to get a bike. holy cow...what did i wait this long for. today ride was awesome! only about 30 miles or so, in and around some canyons. just great. i have to get the sag and suspension dialed in...but man - was it fun. torqier than hell.

good to be on the board.

Welcome to the site and the discovery that motorcycles are a blast.

I have been riding since 1976 so I guess its day 12,190 (I just had to work it out yeah, yeah, I need to get a life!) and ride bagillion and still love the freedom and fun of riding. You meet a lot of great people in the bike world.

Oh almost forgot, Welcome and keep the rubber side down.

Wow, the SV1000 for your first bike. That's very cool. I'm sure it will be a sweet challenge to master. Hey I work in Santa Monica and go down PCH almost every weekend. Let me know if you want to ride some time.

Ride safe!

Talk about a big first bike! Good luck with that and don't do anything too crazy.
