  1. Some of us are lucky enough to have to work this Sunday. Anyone have any idea where I can stream the game? I know verizon has an NFL app to stream but I'm on AT&T on my BlackBerry. My signal here is good enough to stream and I have my stereo hook up Bluetooth so I can hear. Just need somewhere to stream from.

  2. If you want cheap to shoot, 223 is dirt cheap and readily available. And plenty of take down power. I've taken 2 deer with my Remington 700. Doe I shot at 200 yards never took another step. Soft Points have some nasty knock down power.

  3. "Took my dealer a month to find me a black 07 SV1000"

    Since my motorcycle was stolen back in April 2011 I've been searching for a DEAL on a black sv1000 with low miles. Months of searching and finally found one out of state, the guy is airline pilot with no time to ride. Looks like I hit the jackpot..... sorta.

    I bought mine new and it took them that long. They did a trade with a dealer in MI to get it.

  4. I paid $3200 14mos ago for my mint(except for tires) '03 SV1000S with 6,000 miles. I thought I got mine for a smoking deal. This one is newer, and has some updates for less coin.

    Any idea why the price is so low? If it isn't stolen, buy it.

    03 has its bonuses.... For one, higher tail making it turn quicker. Wish I could find a 03 tail to paint black and stick on mine.

  5. Oh, yes. If you pass on it let me know. I have been back and forth about the SV1000 for months. Now, I am wishing I would have jumped on it when I had the chance, but then again this price is much better and newer year and lower miles. One of these days I will own a SV. The best of both worlds...V-Twin & Sporty. Love the sounds of a V-Twin sportbike. Heck, I was hoping that Honda would produce a VTwin Sportbike again to compete with the SV, but no go. Sucks...guess I will have to change my loyalties. Hehehehehe

    Suzuki even quit making the SV1000 after 2007. Never made the SV1000N other than 2003 (in the US). From what I understand, the cost of making it hit emissions was too much, so they cut it. Took my dealer a month to find me a black 07 SV1000S. They just were not popular. Which is one of the reasons I liked it. I always wanted a TLS, but couldn't find a clean one. As soon as the SV was in my garage, my bro found this.....

    First and last of a legend. 2007 SV1000S and 1997 TL1000S

  6. I have that exact bike. Love the thing. Only problem I have had is the stator took a crap, but that's 4 yrs old with 38,000 miles. Other than that, just ride the piss outta it. Parts are pretty easy to find. A lot of SV650, gsxr stuff fits. Plus same motor as the V-Strom (Suzuki still makes that, right). I love having the massive torque of a 1000 twin. Great for 2up or long hauls.

  7. I have a Yosh TRC of a 06 GSXR 600 on my 1000 mounted up to my M4 headers/ midpipe. The M4 reduces down to 2 inch pipe at the end, but has 2 1/4 piping the rest of the way. So I cut the reducer off the end of the midpipe & slid on the TRC. Runs fine and has for about 20,000 miles. The 650 has a Yosh TRS slip on and I've pulled the can off and tossed the TRC can on it for the hell of it & it runs exactly the same.

  8. +1 on Michelin Pilot Road 2. Put 10k on a rear last year. Wears like a touring tire, grips like a Pilot Power. If I hadn't bought PR2's on Dec 30th for this season, I'd be trying PR3s. But none the less, I had to use my discount before the end of the year.

  9. Typical petcock positions are on, off & prime. On runs off engine vacuum to let the fuel flow. Prime is gravity flow. So if the its still flowing gas out heavy while on, something maybe still be wrong with the petcock, or my thought process is that on prime, the fuel is pushing the float up hard enough to slow it, but when on, it doesn't come outta the tank fast enough to push the float up.

  10. SV1000 would be one I'd consider, but I have encountered a couple people with major issues with those.. I'd have to look up what they were, but it seemed semi common.

    an RC wouldn't be comfortable enough to live with on a daily basis, or for long trips. Something like a SuperHawk might though.

    What kind of major issues? Only problem I've have in my 4 years and 36,000 miles is the stator just quit this spring. And the SV is easily set up for touring with a triple tree swap to the naked bars. The 650 is setup that way, but my 1000 has the stock clip-ons.

  11. Welcome!!! :welcome3:you bro has excelent taste in scooters:10:

    Thank you. I was originally looking for a TL, but couldn't find a clean one.... of course, once I ordered the SV, my bro's TL came on craigslist, all stock, other than the recall for a steering dampener. Never had the ECU changed. Owned by a Suzuki Tech that didn't do the "Widowmaker" recalls. Friggin sweet bike. Too bad he sold it :nono:

    And I've met Justin now! :D I love my girls bike.... actually, I the ex's 650 (in my avatar pic) is in my garage too. :p

  12. 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.
