Hello (newbie)

[joshmac]

Hi Guys,
Just thought I'd say hi
Passed my test recently and I'd quite like to tag along on a few rideouts (if you don't mind, is it too soon?) just to get a feel of what group riding is like and to meet a few other bikers :)

Is there a regular GM rideout? Where do they normally happen?
Like I said, are these something I could come along to or do you think it's too early after passing my test?

Josh

Hiya

Welcome to the GM - we have a regular pub meet every monday night at the Britannia in Guildford.

I'm sure the others will be along shortly to talk about group riding :D

ello and welcome from the midlands m8:cool:

Hey Josh, welcome to the forum and the GM!

Congrats on your test, no problem on the rideouts, the most important thing with rideouts is to go at your own pace, never try to keep up or go above your own limits. Plus were a fairly sedate lot...mostly :) but for sure it be great to see you on a rideout which reminds me, we must sort one out soon.

Hope to see you out on a rideout soon and keep your eyes posted on this section for rideouts and meets.

Oh and great choice on bike ;)

Hi :D
I doubt there's going to be a rideout before the AR. If you can make it to that you'd be made more than welcome :D
The AR is meant to be particularly INclusive & at a pace that everyone can cope with.
Group riding TBH should just be like riding in traffic - just a lot more fun. :thumbsup:

Yes you have - not hard tho is it LOL I am having blonde moments and I am due a hair colour LOL, should I have it done??

What can I say I am just too friendly :smt022

[Stu]

I like Blondes, they can get away with anything :D

[joshmac]

What can I say I am just too friendly :smt022
Nothing wrong with being friendly at all!! Stu you are right tho, I did post to say hi before I passed my test, but this was more about group rides/meets

I am seriously considering going to the AR.
Is everyone going separately or is GM riding together? (I did have a look at http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=110071 but didn't find a definite answer)

tent is somewhere in my garage, well i think it is
So do we take our own tents on a bike??....could be interesting :-?

Hint - put them up when you get there :scratch: LOL (sorry)

Most of us dismantle them first.

;)


Actually, there are some tents/spaces on offer from e.d. :D
I'm going with a handful of Soho peeps meeting at Fleet services at 7:30 pm so you'd be welcome to join that. Depends what time you are free on Friday as to which option is best for you - but definitely come if you can make it :D


Edit: beaten to it by Shelly - Excellent :D I always said she had a wit as sharp as a blade

[dirtydog]

Yeah tent on a bike pretty easy to fit it all on, in 06 i had a tail pack with sleeping bag, blow up mattress and some clothes in and then had the tent strapped down over the top.

I'm going to be leaving at about 630 ish but taking a detour to pick up others in the car

[falc]

Yer not sure on times yet, should be able to get convoy going

[joshmac]

NO $H1T Shelly-Lock!! :rolleyes: (also sorry) :D
I didn't mean a set up tent, if it came across like that, just wasn't sure how small they went when NOT set up :lol:

Really (or was it another joke:smt102)? How would I go about doing that?
I should be able to get there by 7.30
Would I hold you up too much being restricted to 33bhp?

[joshmac]

Or we could get this guy to take them assembled for us :lol:
