In Canada, the 2006 SV650 is available is a smokin' dark grey paint scheme... I've been coveting that big-time  :icon_mrgreen:

Hey Frost, we'll still talk to you even if you don't have a GS.  Didn't Pandy buy an SV?  Everyone still talks to her   :cheers:

I hope you have loads of fun on your SV! :thumb:

I'm wanting to get a bigger bike, but I'd also like to stay on the forum, but I'm not sure how stupid that would be, if at all.  My guess is that I'd get tired of all the GS talk and just find another forum. :dunno_white:

My little thread-jacking for the day...  AJ - so bans are only for a week I take it?  I don't quite understand.  I've read something about SOMEONE being banned, but no one ever mentioned any names.  This is the first thread I've seen you "BANNED" avatar.

Post by: Frost on February 21, 2006, 08:14:52 PM
i'll stick around...this is the best forum around...

Ok my ban was for a week......  and the banned avatar has been up for awhile since my lovely gf is hosting it.  She created it too.


Now back to the pretty SVS!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful bike, Frost! SV's rawk!  :thumb:

Yup, I bought an '06 SVS, too. I also still have my '90 GS500E ratbike, and the '92 commuter is still parked at my house. I've got all my bases covered!  :laugh:

I havent had my gs500 for almost 2 years. Everyone is welcome to stay, unless you cross the line. Then you get warned, warned again and again, then banned. Bans can be set for a day, week, month, forever...and we can ban based on username and other things to keep people coming back. aj's ban was one week.

Congrats on the SV, Frost... I looked long and hard at the SV before deciding on the DRZ... i just wanted to play in the dirt too.  Bad thing was I paid about the same money I could have got the SV for... The SV is alotta bike for the price IMO, probably the best deal out there.   :cheers:

Congrats on the new bike Frost. The SV's are super slick, considering it as my next upgrade also.

Sweet looking bike, congrats Frost!  How does the SV sit compared to the GS?  It looks like the bars are a little lower.  I've never been on one, or even seen one in person...

Really?  How'd you manage that? You can't hardly walk five feet without bumping into one around here.

Frost, congratulations.  The bike looks fantastic in black.  When you get a chance to ride, make sure to post your thoughts.  It's only like -2 celcius today.. you really should have taken it out  :icon_razz:

Oh.. and I guess it's a good thing you didn't buy my old GS luggage rack and Givi hardcase.  You probably would have lost even more than I did when I sold them last year.
