I figure I better introduce myself before I just start jumping in threads. Better start off with a pic or 3.... Thats my baby, '07 SV1000S. Bought her brand new. Waited 3 months to get it once I ordered. Currently has 36k on the clock. She's been good to me. Lots of long trips on those wheels. Deal's Gap, South Carolina, last year a week trip down the Blue Ridge Parkway. She currrently has a full M4 exhaust running into a Yoshi Carbon TRC (off a GSXR) attached by a custom midpipe. Also have the M4 race setup in the garage, but thats not very good for bags on the bike. PC3usb, SpeedoHealer, 520 chain & sprockets (+2 rear), factory full fairings with custom frame sliders. Enough about her... I'm stuck up here in NW Ohio where all we have is boring straight 1 mile square blocks. Hopefully meet up with some of you guys & gals and do some riding where it is more fun.
