    Bought the wife her own bike

    So she wanted a SV650 (well that,.and I wanted to see what all the fuss is about)

    $800 later we joined the itty bitty 650 comittee.



    I'll get a pic of her riding it for the leg humpers soon.

    13,000 miles

    Needs rear pads, and a clutch pin, and a crab cleaning. Thats it.

    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?

    Posted in the wrong category on Craigslist, don't even know how I found it.

    I called the number, talked to the owner, drove to the other side of Worcester and helped him roll it out of a basement and handed him the money.

    Re: Bought the wife her own bike

    Justin, watch where you're pointing that "itty bitty" SV thing. SV's are no slouch with the right engine work. (or even stock)

    Congrats on stealing a nice bike for short money.

    Re: Bought the wife her own bike

    no worries buddy the itty bitty was referring to the overall size of it, much smaller than the other Suzuki in the garage, the ginormous TLR behind it.

    nice pick up.

    let me know if you need some help/company wrenching. I'm always looking to expand the knowledge of bikes and i've never done any clutch work or carb cleaning on a motorcycle.
