I decided several years ago I wanted a motorcycle, so I went to a dealership and got worked up for a CBR600F4I. The only problem was that I was rejected because I had no credit. (I was 18.) I gave up for several years, and a few months ago, I decided I was going to work 60 hours a week if I could so I could save up for a motorcycle.
Fast foward to today. I bought my SV650s with cash last wednesday. I think it's a good size bike for my first bike, considering I'm 261 lbs and 6'2". It's an absolutely beautiful bike, and I've been riding it every chance I get. I haven't ventured too far out of my own neighborhood, other than my frightening ride home on the first day across albuquerque on the freeway during rush hour traffic. I'm afraid to get into too much traffic considering I have no idea what traffic looks like behind me. The mirrors on the sv650s are totally worthless...
This friday I get paid again, and I'll get mirror extenders or bar end mirrors and maybe helibars too.
The bike already has a SBK exhaust that sits pretty close to the tail, and a fender eliminator kit, and a solo seat cover, and a paint matched lower fairing that didn't come installed, but I have most of the brackets and such to put it on if I decide to, however I kinda like the naked look.
I missed belonging to an enthusiasts forum. I used to be a moderator at LOST KJ (jeep liberty enthusiasts), and before that, a moderator at NECO (new edge Cougar organization.) There is such a wealth of information at forums like this.
Anyways... Hi everybody... :hello:
