New riders who want to join us for a ride but are afraid to ask because you think your too slow, or not enough experienced .

[Caveat Mode]Be warned, the Thames Valley group are renowned for losing people. It isn't personal or anything to do with your speed but we just have a tendancy to get lost. Whatever you do dont follow ASM as it is a firm policy of the group to lose him at least once on every rideout.[/Caveat Mode]

I wrote this announcement (http://forums.sv650.org/announcement.php?f=157&a=77) as one of the first posts in the TV section.

It is the one and only announcement in the TV section :wink:

It is the very first thread on the TV main page.

I'm just outside you guys area. In Sutton Surrey. But not too far, would be good to get out for my first proper rideout soon. Passed my test in September and have only been out on me tod so far. I ride everyday, commuting, and am building my confidence and improving every time i go out, I think.

Feel free to pop along to any of our meets or rides. I passed in May and also commute so we probably have similar riding experience. This weekend's ridout is likely to be a fairly easy going ride and as it is only for 3hrs so it would probably make a good first group ride. Checkout this link (http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=104389) for more info.

Details are not fully deceided yet, but it looks like a 9.30 start at the Shire Horse (see the map in my signature) we will then head up to Fox's dinner to meet with the oxford lot and from there we will take a 3hr ride round the countryside with the aim of being back to Fox's at 1-1.30 for some lunch and a gentle ride home.

Thanks for the welcome. Not sure I can get away this weekend. Just bought a house and am rediculously busy decorating and trying to get moved in. I'll see what I can do though. If not this weekend will try and get along to a rideout sooner rather than later.

Hello everyone, I'm a fairly new rider too, passed in October....

I'm free for weekend rides only, but only some weekend rides, depending on when I get my day-release from hoovering chores etc.

I'm kind of split between TV and the GM (Camberley / Farnborough), so technically I suppose I can belong to both for the same flat subscription fee......

Hope to make a weekend date soon.

(I'm free this Saturday and Sunday but the TV ride looks like its gonna start too far away at the Shire Horse - added to that I've never been there so would run the risk of getting lost before we even set off :D)

To be fair Falc has recently moved to TV territory so we are now trying to convert him.

In terms of "coveting thy neighbour and poaching members" we leave the rape and pilliging to ASM.

The simple answer mate is just buy it. i'm on my 4th in one year. When it arrives in the garage, then you tell her. So long as you get rid of the other one it shouldn't be a problem. why should she care what bike you have, she doesn't ride pillion anyway (just don't leave bike mags lying around so she can't see how much they cost ;-) )

Well, here is my history and a brief reason why I sold or bought another, this could be a looong read:

Suzuki GS125 - my first bike. Got nicked and found it burnt out. I cried.
Suzuki GN125 - Replacement for the GS. Had it 3 weeks then passed full test and bought a....
Kawasaki Zephyr 550 - My 1st big bike. Was convinced it was the quickest bike in the world. Got scared after some dodgy electrics and an incident with a pidgeon at 90mph. Needed a full fairing.
Honda VFR800 - Loved the roaring V4. Stopped a car with my face at 50mph, should have been killed looking back. Bike was a total mess (as was my face). Bike never recovered, face did (sort of).
Honda VFR 800 VTec - Too expensive to run and service.
Kawasaki Ninja ZX7R P3 - Bought with the insurnace money from my 1st big crash. Scared the beejerbers out of me. Traded in for my next bike.
Suzuki Bandit 600 - Had this bike until I wanted another Ninja. Lasted 9 months though!
Kawasaki Ninja ZX7R P1. Plagued by electrical problems, sold to born again rider (how cruel). Did my first kneedown on it.
Suzuki GN250 - My attempt at a sensible bike. Had a blue top box and I could get my kneedown on it. It died after I took a hammer to it in a murderous rage after trying to fit chain and sprockets.
Kawasaki Zephyr 750 - A cheap Ebay bike. Lasted a long time and I sold to a mate for ?200. Still going as far as I know. Brakes never really worked.
Suzuki SV650S - My very first 'new' bike. After 6 months it was too uncomfy and suspension was naff. Sounded great though.
Honda Hornet 600 - Still got it! My true love. Great bike and quicker than a lot of power rangers around the Nurburgring on it's debut visit.
Kawasaki Z1000 - Bought off a mate dirt cheap. Sold on and made ?200. Woo!
Kawasaki ZX6R P7 - Impulse buy as it was shiny. Never really rode it all that much and sold due to questions over job and flat purchase.
Triumph Street Triple - Deposit Paid. Who knows how long it will last! :)

WHAT??? Get rid of the other one???

I went through this with my mrs, who failed to comprehend why on earth I might want more than one bike at a time. The optimum number of bikes to have in a garage at any one time is four, no less.

I'm halfway there (plus assorted bits of ZX7R still cluttering the place up)

Thats a lot of bikes dude!

I thought I was bad.. Have been though 4 bikes in less than a year since I passed. I can't believe you sold your ZX6R for 4300! I sold my CBR last year for that and it's 5 years old.. I spose brand new ones being 5k and 0% finance is killing the used market.

Seems crazy to me as well!

Then again a ss600 in good working order will virtually always fetch £2000 as there is still lots of demand. A 1998 20,000+ mile R6 will usually sell for over £2000 on ebay, so its not all bad.

DanAbnormal
13-02-08, 05:43 PM
Yep. Last year there was a huge drop in bike sales in this country due to the crap weather. You can now pick up a new ZX6R for 5k. :( Not a good situation to be in but no point in paying insurance on a bike I'm not going to use all that much either. Besides, it makes more room for a newer, shinier bike. :safe: No doubt I will get bored of the Triple within a year and swap for a Tuono. :help:I do have issues.

There are two things to consider before thinking about doing wheelies.

Are you prepared to throw your bike down the road :?:

I did just this the day I bought my 1st VFR. Went to Kings Ride Business Park in Crowthorne. Took it to 4'000 rpm, eased of the gas and then pinned it. It's the only intentional wheelie I've ever done and I very nearly flipped it going onto a main road. Maybe my technique was flawed........:rolleyes:

As the weather improves i expect we'll try to get out as much as possible. I would think there will be something happening, on a lot of the weekends.

When TonyK is off work(he works shifts) we(+fury ginger one) also quite often go for a spin during the week.

Nice to meet you buddy and welcome to the group.

Rideout's depend largely on the weather as the TV lot seem to think that their bikes will dissolve if it rains. Rideouts thus far have been fairly regular - roughly once a week. We try to have a combination of smaller morning or afternoon runs combined with occational day long rides such as our last one to Brighton.

Shame you cant make tomorrow's ride but I hope that you will come and meet us on Tuesday at the Shire. You can come by car if your thumb is dodgy and there should be people there from 6pm onwards. Personally I usually arrive at 7.30 cause I commute from London.

Do I get any Kudos for crushed verterbrae 7 years back and also severe sciatica and piriformis syndrome? Hence why I couldn't bear the Ninja anymore. If I'm honest with myself I probably should get seen by a specialist but then they'll tell me what I don't want to hear.......stop weight training. :(

I prefer to live in (pain) and blissful ignorance. :rolleyes:

You'll have to let us know when your back on the road. Ride outs are often up your direction. :thumleft:

Hey, i work in Eynsham, was it the Oakfield Ind estate you fell off your bike? Thats where i work. Anyway yeah have to go for a spin some time to a bike meet, my bikes also being operated on because i also fell off due to oil at about 5 mph, but was out the back of my house. Should hopefully be on the road in a minimum of 4 weeks, got to wait for thumb to fix and my bike needs a fresh M.O.T.
