Just wondered how many on here are in the Herts area? Hardly see any Sv's around these parts.

I'm from cambridgeshire, don't really get far into Hertfordshire on my rides.. I can be seen going along the A507, and the B road before it that comes from newport to buntingford. That's about my limit :p

I'm in Herts and See lots of SV's zooming up and down the M1/A41/M25 and then all the A/B roads in an around Herts/Beds and Bucks at the weekends. AS BlueThunder said join in on a ride out or two or even pop down to SoHo one Friday evening if it's not too far

Going alot better thanks -still need to master corners, going a bit slow round those but it will come! Decided to do our first longer trip yesterday(only been doing abut 30 miles each time) and went to visit some relatives in Nottinghamon the bikes. Supposed to be about 150 miles but there was a detour and we got lost - ended up doing 230 miles in total round some back roads but it was good - knackering though! Will definitely try to come down to meet everyone.

Ace:cheers: Very good to hear, ever though about doing a bike safe day, that could help you, tell them what you want to work they will help you.

Sounds like a good ride to me, yesterday was a nice day for it as well. Give us a shout when you want to go for a ride, I normally lurking on here some where or msn. Just drop a note in the Friday meet up section, to let us know if your coming down:cool:

As BT said it's there to help, I went on one about 12 months after passing my test and still use what I learnt 5 years on
