Welcome in Steve, what a cracking opening post and pics of a cracking 5vy too. Mind you I wouldn't expect anything else from someone called Steve :P I had a lava red one many moons ago and it was a fantastic bike.

This is a great forum, loads of banter and General good humoured p!ss taking, the main culprits are colon (aka Locke or Colin ) you need to watch out for him, not that he is an arse, cos he's not, he is actually a decent bloke who tells it like it is, then there is monkey face or Jompy as he is also known, he is another decent bloke but but he has his own rod to bare, you see he only has half a bike, but he loves it all the same, then there is luke, he is fine when muzzled and his bark is worse than his bite and then we have pete, PJC or wally as we call him, he is t a wally far from it, you would never meet a more decent bloke, but out a red and white stripped jumper on him and he looks just like that chap where wally..... Oh and then there is old twinkle toes, the forum post hooker, again a great chap but he loves to post, then there is Cilla aka me :oops: ... Haven't a clue why the guys call me Cilla I think it's something to do with my welcome posts..... Anyway I don't know.

But what I do know, and being serious fjr a moment, you do have a beautiful bike and the guys on here are very helpful indeed they can answer any questions and they help and support one and other, and that's what it's all about really.

So welcome

Cilla aka stephen :P

Thank you all for the warm welcomes. Been looking round the forum and seems a good place. Not really been on bike forums since I had my SV 1000 a good few years back now. Had some good times with that bunch of reprobates and made some good friends. Btw Steve ( Cilla ) I see you re located pretty close to me.
