Pokey

Yeah I hear ya, sad thing is that few of the manufacturers give a shit anyways. Triumph from what I hear is very very good to deal with concerning any issues, but any of the big Japanese 4 are not known for their stellar "after the sale" personal attention to issues.

My bike is all back together, I shall be doing a shakedown run to ensure I fixed the issue.

I am sure it is sold, and Mark does not post or visit here often.

No more Suzuki's ever again huh, well that is a pretty obtuse statement to make. Numerous issues have been had from every manufacturer across practically any model, hell the Goldwings were known for frame cracks but yet the SV;s are not. Its a damn motorcycle, shit happens and we just try to get it fixed or move on....seems you have moved on. Best of luck with your new scoot, the FZ-09 is a sweet machine.

Of course I have another bike to ride, but will likely be in the garage working on my other.

Reminds me of his motorcycles.

Has it even had it's first oil change yet? LOL!!!!

Olga Kurylenko being on the back of that electric bike is what gave me a woody.

Pretty sure Ryan wants to focus only on tires this meet, suspension set up would likely need to be done another time.

One that fits is first priority, the rest is just nice features and higher quality.

WOW what a deal, somebody is gonna do the happy dance soon!!! Brandt.......you need to buy this, how could you pass it up?????

Oh I noticed the exact same thing too on TWD, my Wife was laughing at my ranting! LOL The others annoying thing is when firearms also do not sound like the appropriate one being used in a movie or show, although not as important as proper motorcycle sounds.

Yup and that is a great point, and why I tend to gravitate towards machines that are like Swiss army knives.

Oh the M109R is for sure a hoot to ride in a straight line I bet "like a Vrod", and you should take a new 1000 V-Strom out for a ride if you ever get the chance, it is apples to oranges now compared to the original.

Glad you are happy with your purchase, makes no matter what the rest of us think.

I was going back and forth between the FJR and the Super 10, but the FJR is very established and even better with the latest model. I have to highly disagree with the M109R for the Suzuki, what a total myopic machine that's really not good at anything "just my honest opinion". I know you have a burr up your ass for some reason about the Stroms, but their latest model 650 and 1000 are 2 of the best all around machines out there.

Love 78 and 83, 2 of the best roads in the state. Route 60 is hard to beat if it is open.......LMAO.

I have a 36 inch Sony tube, and it too has a fabulous picture for what it is. I am going to give it to Goodwill, but I need 3 people to move it. LMAO

Honda: Goldwing Suzuki: V-Strom Yamaha: FJR Ducati: Mutistrada BMW: R1200GS Triumph: Tiger 800 Kawasaki: Concours 14 Aprilia: Capnocord 1200 Harley: Street Glide Indian: Chieftan

And they stopped making it years ago.

Apparently you are the only one buddy.

Don't you work for the government?

I sent you a PM, my SV is still available if you want to come look at it.

Should not have any issue finding a Harley with less than 20K miles.

You bunch of assholes.....LOL
