Hi all,
I have had a quick look through the Thames Valley area but I can't find the calender section!
1) Are there any rideouts happening in the Thames Valley soon?
2) Are there any websites/forums/groups in this area.
In south devon we have southwestbikers where we do trackdays/rideouts and meets etc. Is there any groups like this here that are good?

The next meet is 7th Oct at the Shire details of how to get there are here (http://forums.sv650.org/announcement.php?f=157&a=77). There are a few people that go from Oxford.

Rideouts seem to have dried up for some reason. Probably because we all expect the weekends to have rubbish weather. (Mental note - need to organise a ride soon)
If you take a look through the threads there are a couple of people posting about track days. We are all a friendly bunch so feel free to sign up for whatever you like.

Hello there matey. I'm oxford based (just off Iffley road) and so is Warthog (Nick). If you fancy coming along to the next meet give us a shout and we can meet up before hand to ride down. We are both very busy at the moment so no rideouts at the weekends. would be nice to organise something at some point though. John, looks you've voulenteered for that mate ;-)

Hi,
I live off Cowley Road so not far from you guys!
I should be able to go to the next meet on tuesday the 7th. Where do you guys meet to go on the ride to the Shire?
The trackday looks like fun but the date is not good for me.:mad:
If I pass you on the road, I have a blue SV650S curvy with a green LLandow racetrack entry sticker on the front.

I'm pretty sure I've seen that bike up and down the cowley road before. i had exactly the same up until about a month ago. Good choice!
We usually meet at the sainsburys on the ringroad just before the reading turn off. I live on Aston street if you would like to meet there instead. Nick comes from the Botley side of town so meets me on the ringroad.

I am present, but pulling 12 hour days making multimillion pound deals for my company.

I know the sainsbury's you are talking about! What time do you normally meet there? I have been down that road to reading before, it is not bad and I remember a few good corners along there (even though I was in the car.)
