Two blue faired SVs, a curvy and a pointy, heading in the direction from Inveraray to Lochawe yesterday afternoon.
Nice day and nice roads for a blast.
Two curvies heading north towards Cluanie Dam from Invergarry on Sunday afternoon. One laydee owner on a blue/black custom paint job and a friend on a yellow full faired one.
Lovely crisp day for a trundle through the glens.

Blue pointy at temporary traffic lights in Gatehead at 6.15 tonight. I was on my bike (pedal variety) in the queue. Quite jealous - still had about 15 miles to go !!!
Buckstone - I've seen a blue pointy with white stripes round Ayr area a fair bit recently. Never waves back. :(
Oh aye and I see a faired curvy parked at the coffee boat in Ayr quite regularly.

Don't know if it's the same guy, but I pulled up beside a blue and white sport in Prestwick a couple of weeks ago. He said it was his first bike but he was really enjoying it. Seemed like a nice bloke, tbh.

And another pointy a few weeks ago, same time, same place. Can't remember the colour, looked to be riding with possibly a girl on a 125. I pulled up next to sv and said nice bike to the guy.

I regularly see a black pointy around 6pm heading to the Forth Road Bridge, I always lose 'em just after Cramond though as I'm still on my PCX125 :(
I think it's an 09/59 plate.

19-09-15, 02:20 PM
Actually... it might be Tommy :)
I'll double check next time I see it/him.
TommyT18
19-09-15, 04:59 PM
It certainly could be myself, usually there about 6:10-6:15pm. Is it rather loud? If so its probably me as I'm usually deaf by the time I get home! I wear a black and red jacket and a brown backpack, il look out for you!
TheWeeSteev
19-09-15, 05:03 PM
Depending on when I get out I sometimes hit Barnton at that time too. I'm on a very quiet Honda Scooter, hopefully only until this Friday.
You'll spot me with a black and illuminous helmet. In fact I might even have caught you on my helmet cam :)

Black pointy with black shorty exhaust and flat tyre at Craigleith petrol station at 6.30 last night. Maybe that was you Tommy - black and red jacket fits the bill? Hope my 50p got you enough air to make it home!
I'm also in the 'heading towards the Forth Road Bridge around 6pm on a rather loud SV' gang, although usually a wee bit later.
TommyT18
30-09-15, 06:13 PM
Haha yeah that would be me! I was going to do a post here tonight saying I spotted you and to thank you lol. Yeah it got me home thank you very much! Have found out today that my front alloy has a crack in it near where the 'spoke' meets the rim. So that's me out of the 'Forth road bridge loud SV gang' until I can get a replacement alloy And to think I was going rather fast on it this morning :/
Next time I see you il make sure I pay you back :D
makes me want to start commuting into Edin just to be in the gang... not... :-)
TommyT18
30-09-15, 08:29 PM
Do I detect a hint of jealousy towards the gang? :p You can always join in on your days off...
i'm on constant days off.. lol
might be organising a run down the borders this sunday if your interested.

01-10-15, 06:16 PM
Oh! Alright for some lol. I'd be up for that except I haven't managed to find a front wheel for sale yet so bikes still off the road :( cheers for the offer though
TheWeeSteev
04-10-15, 05:00 PM
Aw no, bad luck on the alloy Tommy.
That's me back from my work down in Lincoln, managed to get out on my bike briefly yesterday - had to go to the bank after selling my scooter.
As my new next door neighbour decided to have a housewarming on Friday night until well after 3am I decided to rev my bike as much as possible leaving and returning - sounded sooooo good.
Back to work Mon-Thur so will be battering between Fife and Edinburgh on it.
Dark blue naked pointy just going past House of Sher in Glasgow around 5pm tonight!...

Followed a black '10 plate pointy. Nice tail tidy and better mirrors than I have.
They were behind me at Cramond but having missed 2nd pulling away at the lights and embarrassing myself I let them pass me :)
Not sure if it's someone from the forums, kept up with them up to around the Dean bridge area with plenty of filtering in between.

That was me, weesteve. Hello there! Dunno what it is about the onset of winter but the filtering always seems to become a bit more heavy duty about now!
TheWeeSteev
07-11-15, 09:37 AM
I had a feeling it was you Sputnik, just wasn't sure exactly what year of SV you had.
Filtering is getting a bit mad although traffic was really light Fife side.
I was trying to admire your modifications at the lights while balancing on my tip toes :)

Been meaning to post for a (long) while, but there's a curvy that parks on the lower level of my office car park in Hatfield. Or did at least until I stopped coming in to the office way back in March.
I want to say it was blue, but I'm not sure my memory isn't playing tricks on me as it's been a while, and I only worked there for a few months before lockdown.
Was wondering if it was anyone on this forum...
