Nov 22 - Exhaustive research
John Thank you Phil, I can see a lot of time and effort has gone into this. I have converted it into HTML, it's lost the drop down filters and the page is wide but not everyone has Excel, so it will give them access. I think it's best in it's original form and this is also available.

leaked

Nov 21 - New for Old
John, It's a shame the DL650 is just as ugly as the original V-Strom. Although in a way I'm glad it is. I was looking to trade in my W reg SK1 next spring and I'd hoped the DL650
would give me a more comfortable riding position but with wind protection for my
daily commute up the A2. |

Nov 20 - NEC photos
Daryl and I made the annual trip to the NEC on Wednesday. Here are some SV specific photos that you might enjoy. Hover cursor over images for comments. The Skidmarx fairing lowers were unbelievably nasty, they look far worse in the flesh.

Nov 12 - Give me a clue!
(mystery solved)
hey john thanks for the reply. This a 2001 SV650s that I installed a 1999 R6 fairing. It also has 2001 GSXR 1000 front forks with the SV steering stem that was machined to fit the 1000 triple tree so that I could keep my SV steering bearings. I have also installed a GSXR 750 rear shock. I also rewired the dash wires and changed out a few sensors to install a 20001 GSXR dash. I have don a lot of work to the bike and am proud to say I did all the work my self. I love my SV and probably will never get rid of it. thanks again for the response. Jerod Morris

Nov 8 - SV kids part2
Can you put this pic in the gallery as there isn't one of my bike and this
one is a corker! can you let me know if you do, also do you know where the
best place to by a undertray for my 2000sv is? I wrote to Chris about undertrays. It would be nice if readers sent in a bit more info with their photos, just adds a bit more interest for the rest of us. Chris wrote back with the following. It interests me to know about the person behind the bike. I'm sure this is true for other readers Hi John,

Nov 1 - Lord of the 'Ring
Hi John, I have been a big fan of your site since purchasing my 99' sv650 at the beginning of this summer. All I can say is, after throwing the OE tyres in the nearest skip, the bike has been top fun with very few niggles. In fact the only thing I can think of is the paint on the radiator starting to flake off. Be careful with that pressure washer guy's! My highlight of the season was chasing two sports bike around the Nurburgring (O.K. It was only till we got to the first decent straight but I did have my tankbag sliding back off the tank to keep me sensible!). After those two came the Porsche 911. He gave in after locking up coming into a chicane and waved me passed. Never laughed so much in my life when he saw the SV come past. The look on his face was a picture! Some of your members may have already checked out the link to my web site from
your miscellaneous links section for tours in Germany. Should anyone be interested, check out the offer below, and I can guarantee you'll have a
fantastic time. I'd love 'to do' the 'Ring. I've an old in car video of Derek Bell thrashing a Porsche 962 (a LeMans racing jobbie) on that track - Awesome. |

Nov 1- Readers new web site
Hi John, How are you? The
stickers are still looking good. Now I have build a website dedicates to the SV series. Now is my question for you
since your site is international known, could you place a link on your site and perhaps a
banner. I will stick it to the email. I like the 'international
known' remark. It's one of the pleasures of running this site, I get
emails from all over the world, which |

Nov 1 - Ultraseal offer
It's Perry here (or Image as i'm known on the forum) Just wandering if you would
be interested in us (Ultrasealonline) offering a discount to the SV website. I
have spoke to the boss and she said we could offer a bottle of Ultraseal which
would treat 1 bike for £23.95 with free postage. |

Nov 1
I think October was a month some of us would rather forget. The death of Wayne Campbell was a shock. Like most of you I'd only 'spoken' to Wayne via email. Originally it was to help publicise his Lands End to John O'Groats. This trip was always planned as charity event. The death of Kevin Jones prompted Wayne to focus the fund raising towards Hope House. In the end Wayne raised £450, not bad for a one man operation. Rob Suchley's accident was also another sad occasion. I hope he makes a quick recovery. It brings to light another menace we all face as bikers. Most of the drivers we meet are just not paying attention or have poor driving skills but they are legal and don't usually intend to injure or cause accidents. There seems to be a growing menace of lunatics out there that can't be bothered with being legal, some people call them joy riders but there's more to it than that. A lot of these people are older and have just decided the law doesn't apply to them. They own cars but they're not insured, the car isn't registered in their name, they don't care about anything or anybody. There is no police presence on the roads, so these people drive around in complete anonymity breaking all the rules knowing that no-one is going to catch them. If they want to run through a red light...they will. As the government places more and more restrictive controls on our motoring, more of these people will decide to go flit into the darkness. Not a lot of news from château Tapley to report. It's been a novelty riding the bike in the rain! Can't say I'm enjoying it especially after dark. The next big event is the annual bike show at the NEC. I'll be making the trip with DarylB on the 19th. I notice from the forum that a few of you are working the stands. If you want any readers to drop by and say hello, then let me know and I'll publish a list. John |

obviously appear here. Wouldn't it be great to have an international
get-together, not keen on organising it though.
