I'm pretty sure this makes a strong case against the SV.

(At least i think it's a SV)

Crap now I think it's a duc and I'm too lazy to search.

Don't think it's against the SV but more against taking the MSF course if you don't know how to ride a bike.  Or maye agaist rider stupidity?

I aways laugh when I see that.

Even if the voices aren't real they have some good ideas.

Yeah, that is an SV.

BTW, if you look up "Abrupt Throttle Response" in the dictionary, they have a picture of an SV.

Yeah regardless it's great.

I love how someone yells, "Look out for the parked car" right in front of him LOL

And the way the guy said oh sh*t, it was like he totally expected it.
Rich, RIP.

The SV is a piece of crap ... I was afraid to ride the MOFO ... its was so cheesy (no offence to cheesy here who happens to also own one) ...
The previous owner sheared off the damn gear lever just shifting, I was terrified of bumping and scraping it against somehting and breaking it to sheite ...
I sold it and promptly that dude dumped it and bent a bunch of crap ... such a crash on a GS wouldn't have scratched the damn dirt off the thing ...
I dunno ... have they switched to chinese made sheite for it ??? seriously its shitty.
Cool.

Hogwash.

I tossed one down the road at 40 mph and got up and rode it home with only a bent shifter and a scratch on the fairing.

You've spent too much time on POS metric cruisers.  :laugh:

The idiot was looking down (at the gauges, his groin, who knows) and not where he was going.  And the guy who lent it to him is just as dumb for letting the rider do that.

There's nothing wrong with the bike, except for the fact it does not work well as a deforestation device.  :)

That's a classic, definately about the 30th repost but funny everytime. 

Tippie-toes, looking at the ground, high wrist on the throttle, no clutch control, drags his feet, doesn't look where he wants go go, no gear, no brain, and stupid friends.   :icon_rolleyes:

Somebody buy 'em a busa so he can kill himself right.   :laugh:
