Apologies there dude , obvoiusly got the wrong end of the stick , you get up north or any runs on the SV?

[bikingviking]

well spotted dodge , think the only original parts left are wheels , tank , half the frame and the loom, engine is rf but the 2nd one I've put in it, first one ate 2nd gear , its changed since that pic as well , got a bandit 1200 subframe and seat unit on it now ( more for comfort than looks as old bones can barely hack the rgv 250 seat anymore) ,.

Cheers Ross

Very nice Aprilia, I've got this at the mo until honda finally decide to bring out the new one.
Don't I look young, bikes a bit big for me at the mo .

No worries.

I get out quite a lot, mostly go to Fife or Perthshire, but not that far North. The Mrs won't go on it so I only go away for a few hours at a time, Fort Wiliam is about as far as I can easily go in a day.

Was down in Fort Bill in June , me and a dozen or so mates (well 6 fae Shetland , another 6 fae Ullapool and a couple o boys fae Fort Bill) took another mates ex fishing boat down from Shetland to the Isle o Man for tt week , went through the canal for a fun , damn good run (about 500mile by sea , each way) , she can sleep 16 so had a riot everywhere we stopped , seems to be turning into an annual foray , that's the third year in a row now . We take the bikes with us on the deck so we can have a blast around the circuit . Here's a link to the boats website ....... http://www.threesistersdiving.co.uk/index.html

Looks the biz in that guise, you'll have to take a more recent pic.

I grenaded my box a while ago, luckily I had a complete motor and box spare.

[bikingviking]

what bike was this motor in(Z1000?) , hope it didn't lock on you when it went pop , always a scary moment !!

Only a Zephyr 550.

Yeah locked up on my way to work, going round a roundabout, luckily I wasn't going too fast and as it was very early there was no following traffic. Slid sideways across three lanes and stopped just before the curb gave me a high sider. Even luckier I was just about to get on the M4, locking up at nearer a ton might not have been so fortunate.

[bikingviking]

Shit mate , lucky indeed
