New rider, new bike

[Springbokki]

Hello to all,

Just joined as a member today, and am picking up my red SV650S tomorrow morning.
Recently passed my Direct Access test, so read all the reviews and chose one of these!

Basically, saying hi, and wondering who is around Cowbridge in the Vale of Glamorgan?

Cheers

Hallo en Welkom!

[Alpinestarhero]

morning there buddy, post us many pictures of your SV when you get it, in all its shiny new-ness :D

[Springbokki]

Hey, cheers for the welcome.

In response to "Springbokki" origin, I'm South African, so it's a fairly appropriate title! :D
So the 3rd Thursday of the month? Any regular meeting place, or wherever agreed?

Cheers all

Yep to the first one, they go boing a lot :D

Welcome to the site Springbokki!

[Springbokki]

Haha indeed they do, perhaps not the best choice of name, but I was thinking more along the lines of the Rugby Team!
Oh well forever known as the fast food of the African veld!

And I can now officially say I am the proud owner of mentioned bike, as of 30 mins ago!
Woo!

[wizurd]

I'm a newbie on here too but very welcoming bunch. Live in newport so not too far from ya.

Quite a few of us around this area i think

[Jdubya]

Your bike's a bit red though innit?

[Springbokki]

A bit red?
Well yeah if I was in the bushveld, but fits in nicely in the UK. :D

[fenjer]

Hi and welcome to .org I'm sure you'll fit right in!

:)

[metalangel]

Nah didn't think to sorry, just looked at it at thought 'ah, it's that taffia thing' and walked out with my new gloves. Next time I pass through I'll grab one, there was a huge stack next to the stairs.

I do think it said they do it first AND third Thursday, could be wrong!

[hovis]

I do think it said they do it first AND third Thursday, could be wrong!

yup.


they did last year, its open to everyone, but i just thought it seemed like a good idea to have our local meets there,

in the summer they have BBQ live bands etc,

I might have to ride to Cardiff just for that then...

[Razor]

you ate bambi!

[metalangel]

They also do kangaroo burgers... and possibly something else.

Meanwhile, the Gourmet Burger Kitchen on Mill Lane does Buffalo Burgers.

All of these are very yum.

@jdubya: There's probably a Walkabout near you, they have 'em all over the country. But do come and visit, and see the beautiful construction sites of Cardiff!

[Springbokki]

see above;)

My bad!

If that's going to be the 16th, then not here. Bummer.
