MadTV: The journal

Yes!
23/05/2005
Well last Friday I did it; I passed my unrestricted motorbike license on the second attempt. I didn't ride that well, in fact I rode much better the time they failed me. But none of that matters now, I am legal to ride any capacity of bike with a pillion anywhere I like.

And, yes, I have bought a big bike. After weeks and weeks of deliberation I settled on the Suzuki SV650s. I collect it on Wednesday and that seems like an age from now. Remember when you were little and Christmas seemed like it was a lifetime away even on the day before Christmas eve? Well that's how I feel today.

When I get my hands on it I'll post some pictures here.

Congratulations Matt, you are now a fully fledged member of one of the most hated groups on the road ;-) Get out there and give them and their little tin boxes utter hell!

Just to put my grown-up head on for a minute, don't forget new tyres take a couple of hundred miles to scrub in and be careful on left handers.

In the immortal words of the amazing spiderman:
'With great power comes great responsibilty'.

Thanks Sparx, that's a really good point about the new tyres, I will be carefull. Plus of course I have to run the engine in: I'm not allowed to rev above 5000 for 500 miles. My boss is so kewl he's letting me have a jolly out to our northern dealerships on Thursday, so I'm getting a full day in the saddle almost straight away!

well done for passing, and double well done for choosing the right bike.
There's loads of info over at www.sv650.org which is a UK site or there's the US site www.svrider.com
The Sv is not a mad all or nothing type bike but take it easy anyway, watch out for the twats who still think it's ok to natter away on the mobile while driving.
