    Re: What's up, SV650 from Western MA

    Instead of making a new thread, I'm just going to post in this one again. I'll be posting a bit more on here now that I'm finally going to try and participate in a Tony's Track Day. I'll be keeping my eyes open for an inexpensive sv track bike to pick up over the winter.

    Wrecked it a few years ago


    Rebuilt it

    New build is way better. Sometimes crashes work out.

    How did that one happen? Any injuries?

    Got into a guard rail, and the front end just got torn off. I was thrown off the bike and into the center of the road. Broke my collar bone, my safety equipment helped out a lot. No road rash.

    Did you used to ride with Dean? Or was that a different SV650 guy? I also remember seeing your pics on the UMMSC forum.

    Very cool bikes, I'm pretty happy with my "hybrid" lol. Hoping I can get one for the track to learn a few things, and to get some confidence back.

    I went on a few rides with some umass guys when I was still in school, don't remember the names, that was like 4 or 5 years ago haha.

    Did your bike get hit by an Alstare GSXR when you wrecked?
