Spotted!

[neillfergie]

Hey everyone, thought whilst i was out the other night that i could pass anyone on the .org and not recognise them:smt039

thought i should start a thread so we could post pics of our bikes with or without riders (in your helmet if your shy. . . or ugly:puker:) so we can tell when we are spotted:cyclopsani:

also post here if you see someone on the road and wonder who they are, they might be one of us?


i would start the thread with a pic of me and my k4 but im in work when i thought this up so i can't put on any pics now... but i will later on.:smt024

[neillfergie]

ok, spotted someones this morning on my way to work, bout 8.55am passing the belfast met college heading into town. pale blue sv pointy (Rizla colours?) think they had a yellow helmet. . . sound familiar?

[BadDog]

That would have been me running late! :D

I'm there every morning coming off the westlink... but usually about 8.40-ish :)

[fergie]

yeah good idea i.m up for that, i only get to take my bike to work twice a week but when i pull onto the westlink about 6.25am a curvy always seems to be a couple of yards in front of me. Although it did pass me one morning and i got a wave as it passed (which i thought was pretty nice).

i'll get a pic up tomorrow

[neillfergie]

Think i spotted you again yesterday Baddog when i was in the car , carpark opposite jordanstown, this is like stalking:oops:

anyway also saw a silver half faired pointy on the road to larne

and a copper fully faired pointy shortly afterwards.

any ideas?:D

[SuzukiNess]

am i too far off the beaten track :confused: being in Portrush?? i never see any SV's about :(

[BadDog]

Yep, me again at jordanstown :)

I saw a bronze pointy SV at the traffic lights just up the road when I left Jordanstown aswell.

Suzukibabe, I'm up near portrush nearly every weekend. I head up the coast from Larne, fancy meeting up with us at the weekend?

[SuzukiNess]

:rolleyes: "heads off to spec savers"

aye, it would be nice to meet up - do u head to ballycastle or portstewart then?

[neillfergie]

i was up that way on sat morning too, usually head down to carnlough and up the costal route to ballycastle or portrush depending on how much time/fuel ive got.

Must have seen 10sv's on Saturday morning! roads were rammed with bikes.

[fergie]

i was up that way saturday morning only saw a cbr and bmw though, first time up that way on the bike after about 15 years going up in the car- quite a different experience - was just thinking i'm no further than half an hour away from the coast and always head inland for some reason, strange that. well i live in belfast and i can actually see the lough from the end of my street but its not proper coast line if you know what i mean- i'm gonna stop talking now i'm confusing even myself

[neillfergie]

its much better heading up towards the port, have done it in reverse and your very aware of the small wall between you and the sea going round the right handers sometimes, few buttock clenchers! lol

i always head down to carlough, its only a 30min ride from my house and its got some lovely sweepers to builds the heat in the tyres and gets your confidence up before the tougher coast road. sometimes head south to larne but usually north along the costal route.

[BadDog]

I usually have a long-stop in Glenarm carpark then head on through carnlough and up to Waterfoot and beyond :D

[fergie]

i went through carrick to larne, through to glenarm and on to waterfoot then up the back road to ballymena then back home- thought it was going to rain. to be honest it was the longest ride i've had since i got the bike which i'm a bit embarrassed about. but all in all it was a good morning out

[neillfergie]

some fantastic roads up that way mate and plenty of places to pull over for a quick stretch if your getting stiff. think ive spent more time on those roads on the bike than any others. pity the weather is a bit rubbish this week though.

[rcam]

Im living in Coleraine now and have a blue pointy like the babes! Will be sure to give a wave next time i pass.

:D

[neillfergie]

Ok new one today, keep seeing the same Sv650 in bronze, half faired, on the road from dundrod to antrim in the morning on my way into work. rider has a silver lid, any suggestions?

[BadDog]

Saw a dark blue point with a tinted double bubble screen this morning on my way to the culloden hotel ... but can't remember exactly where... think it was after holywood. They definately noticed me too tho!

[neillfergie]

Busy weekend for spots, saw Baddog again on the m2 northbound near sandyknows (must be the third time?)

saw a dark blue pointy at the rear of a large group heading into ballycastle yesterday afternoon. sounded pretty good too!

saw a few others on me travels over the weekend but usually when im in the car heading in the opposite direction...

[suzuki badboy]

Hello,this is my first post so i might aswell put it in here.Ihave a k5 sv650s and come from the larne area.youle most likely see me down the coast or up round carrick/glengormley and ballymena.The bikes blue, my helmets a silver aria,and my jackets blue/black and i mostly wear a pair of white nike trainers:smt103 and from friday will have a micron pipe.Hopefully see some of you about:smt023

[neillfergie]

Hey there badboy, seems everyone from the larne area is bad for some reason?:spiderman: might be something do do with michael jackson?:smt017

ill keep an eye out for you on my travels, should be easy to spot with those trainers:smt081 . . . should really get some proper boots mate, they are as important as a helmet if you come off.

[yvo6]

i mostly wear a pair of white nike trainers:smt103



NO - you cant be serious!!! Mate get urself a pair of decent boots, even if it does cost you the extra ££. Riding about like that will mash your ankles if you have an 'off'

:crutches:


you only get one set of feet and they get you about for the rest of your life.

Have fun

;)

[suzuki badboy]

I do have a pair of boots but dont wear them most of the time,i did wear them down to enniskillen last weekend though:thumleft:

[suzuki badboy]

Got the micron on today,it sounds ****ing wicked:smt026i am trying to upload some vids on youtube so you can hear for youre self nothing fancy like but loud as ****:rave:

[neillfergie]

Got a micron too mate, sounds wicked!!

good for setting off car alarms too. . . not that i would ever do it on purpose?

[fergie]

right folks finally saw another sv. It was friday afternoon and about 3:30 on the ballymena line on the way to antrim- blue pointy and the rider had the coolest looking lara croft paint job on his helmet- well i think it was croft but the one and not angielina jolie. I was in my work van so they wouldn't have spotted me- any way nice bike nice helmet!

[grahamy]

Sorry i never got across to have a chat but i was getting worried about the other guys i was out with as there was a worryingly long gap between me arriving and them (they said they stopped for fuel?) and i started to run scenarios in my head.


Anyway next time i see ya i promice to say hello.

[SuzukiNess]
