So if you avoid tacky and cheap, why did you get a SV ?????

steve trow · Post by **steve trow** » Tue Sep 28, 2004 12:58 am

I avoided tacky and cheap looking paint schemes and bought a single coloured Sv.
I bought a Sv as I had progressed from a dated firestorm......maybe you should start reading the thread from the start and catch up?

I have been loosly following the thread form the start, I also have ridden both bikes. I rode both a firestorm and SV last december as I was considering buying new and both were available for about Â£5000 then. I must say in defence of the SV its gearbox is light years ahead of the Storm but it would be bad if it wasnt as I have had a few suzukis in the past and they have all had excellent gearboxes. Honda must make tractors some where in the world judging on this alone.
I must admit to umming and ahhing about which to buy, as for what I use the bike for there is very little to choose between the two. I dont ride very fast and don't really throw it into corners as in this part of the world the roads are not really up to it.
What swung it for me in the end was this bike was up for less than Â£3000 and wasn't 3 years old (at the time). Â£2000 buys a lot of petrol

. it was cheap as no-one liked the colours

but as its only a toy the colours don't bother me at all.
Some people like it some don't, ain't that just the way of the world

Steve ... If you ride an SV why do you keep coming back to the VTR board? Is there no SV board or are they not as entertaining as this lot?

Or do you have some sort of a Jehovah witness syndrom?

Not fair

I can't help it if I haven't got the money to get one. Beleive me, if I could I'd buy one right now (even though it's the wrong time of year). One day I'll be called yippeeihaveafirestorm

170 of us got laid off in July as our jobs got shipped off to India and China. There will be no jobs left in this country at this rate. Jaguar employees are the latest victims. (Don't get me started on this subject!)

Sorry to hear about the losses

(That was more of a dig directed at Steve! The day you get it, we'll have to organise a meet and celebrate the arrival! Where is Cannock?

Iwantafirestorm · Post by **Iwantafirestorm** » Wed Sep 29, 2004 11:52 am

Cannock is in Staffordshire in between Stafford and Lichfield, about 25 minutes from Walsall and 45 minutes from Birmingham.

I though everyone knew where it was after Stan Collymore made it famous earlier this year (front page of national newspapers) with his "dogging" antics over Cannock Chase. (Lives local)

Come to think of it, there's quite a few famous people live local:

1) Remember Steve Bull? - he lives/lived about 1 mile from my house (don't know if he still does)
2) The guitarist out of "Whitesnake" lives local
3) Roger "the name's Bond, James Bond. 007" Moore used to live in Cannock

There's probably more but I can't remember off the top of my head (I'll add them as I remember)

Just remembered - saw the Hawk Kawasaki team in a local pub this year (can't remember the main racer's name! he was Australian)

RQ · Post by RQ » Wed Sep 29, 2004 12:55 pm

Heh heh, the only one I know from that list is Moore!! As you can probably guess from not seeing the Collymore thing, I have no interest in football at all!!
There is nobody famous where I live! Only one is Terry Wogan used to live about 10 mins from me when he was growing up. I don't shout about that one much!

RQ,
What about JP McManus? He's setting up camp near Limerick isn't he?

RQ · Post by RQ » Wed Sep 29, 2004 2:53 pm

Too true, forgot you'd know him with the M.U. connection. He already has a large stud farm and manor in the area, and is in the process of building some huge thing in the same area.

And I thought I was the only guy in the UK not obsessed with footy. I don't like it either - I only know about the Collymore thing because of it being splashed all over the papers for about a week, with maps of our area printed in them. Only knew of Steve Bull (Used to be a famous player - don't know for which team) because of him living down the road.

Terry Wogan eh? Good one (I actually think he's OK. love the way he rips the Eurovision song contest to bits every year! not that I watch it or anything)
