congratulations to the new bike I love my SV as well but if I had the chance to get another bike I’d probably try something else. Not because it’s not good or something, just out of curiousity.

Of course that would also be dependending on what I could afford. So if my financial possibilities were rather restricted then I’d stick to the SV as well.

Have a lot of fun with your new (old) bike! I will ride mine for this and the next season for sure and as far as 2012 is concerned I already have some dream bikes on my list.

Those are quite different in style and I’ll have to take opportunities to find out which one suits me the most. As my next bike I could easily imagine (in my possible price range):

- Triumph Street Triple R
- Honda CB 1000R
- Suzuki GSX-R 600/750
- Suzuki GSR 600
- Suzuki GSF 1250 Bandit
- Ducati Monster 696
- Aprilia Shiver 750

But the best would be Suzuki had kept the SV 1000 in their line-up.

You are so lucky to be able to ride along the coast. I agree with you about riding on unfamiliar roads, but nice shots of your SV along the ocean. I find that if I am alone I take the corners easier and take less risk. I like the gentle way you place your words, it’s as if you are beside me and speaking

those budget hotel rooms all look the same, it looked like I had been there before

ride safe

Night riding… FWIW, HID turns night into day!

Overzealous soliciting religious types… Lie like me. I told those doorbell ringing Jehovahs that I’m muslim and Allah is the one and only true God. I’ve also told various other bible thumpers that I worship Satan, hence all the black tattoos. In either case, both groups turn right back around without another word

There is a great photo of you and I at that turnout on Hwy 1—I’ll send it tonight, I promise!!!
