My SV650S has sat in the garage for ages without me using it, turn the engine over and keep the battery charged though. When I first got it I rode it all the time and loved it and still do, however got back into cars and so the bike has been neglected abit. During this period when I was out in my car bikers really started to annoy me with stupid overtakes and speeding in built up areas. This was all topped off one day when in the centre of town I pulled out of a junction as the traffic was stopped at a set of lights down the road, as I pulled out the lights turned to green and this guy on a R1 blasted away from the lights and came screeming up behind me and was revving his engine like crazy with a loud can on it. This was in a built up area on a Saturday morning ( very busy ) and he then came alongside me giving me the tosser hand signal.
Since this incident it has really put me off biking and bikers, but this was only one case and many other bikers have been very friendly and helpful.
I reckon it's about time the bike went though as it just ain't used
