View Full Version : Northamptonshire
Hey all,
just wondering if there's any fellow 'Northamptonshire' or local people out there?...would be nice to meet or just network with some other local bikers/sv riders for some ride outs or beers or both, Atm the only peeps i can get togetha with for rides etc is one of my m8's plus sum of my old mans m8's lol...no 1 else rides.
anyhow would be cool to just get a Northamptonshire thread going for a start...
All the best and ride safe, Chuky :smt077

I am from Northampton chuky. I don't really think there is any need for a Northampton only thread. There ain't that many of us. Plus when I go for a ride I don't usually tend to stay within Northamptonshire.
Keep an eye in the Madlanders section. There are rides most weekends usually starting within about 30miles of northampton so theres plenty to go on.
Bassetts pole on tuesday evening there is a good meet of orgers.
Hi Chuky.
Whereabouts in Northants are you? We're not far from the Northants border in Rugby. We tend to like to go out early and stay out all day, so if that appeals you are welcome to join us some time.
We are usually found in the company of Britney aka Mr Speirs, who is also Northants. :D
hey lissa, im in Welford...straight dwn the a14 from rugby, j1. i know rugby quite well tho i go there a fair bit so ye that sounds gr8...i'd allways be up for a early start u'll have to let me know cheerz!

Me and the previously posting Lissa are an item, although there are a few other Rugbyites on here. We just lurk on the site most of the day and watch everything! :D

I'm just a bit further down the road in Nuneaton, and "The Madlanders" section a bit further down in the forums (here - http://forums.sv650.org/forumdisplay.php?f=126 )
pete..haha kl, well be sure to gimi a shout if you go for a ride...as a side tho have u had any work done at midlands superbikes? i've been in there enough times to the shop and to look at the bikes etc but neva used the workshop. i normally get my service's done at bikersworld in daventry but thought might give Mkt harb a try?
jamesterror...kl man thanks for the link, nuneaton's not* to far i dont think. is it jus along the m6?

No experience of either from a service or indeed bike purchase angle, but my gut reaction says stay with Bikersworld unless you have an issue with them.
Actually a few of us are meeting at MSB tomorrow at 9 before setting off to the Peaks to check out a Bunkhouse we're staying at in September. That's in the rideouts and meeting section. Won't be able to very socialable though(some might say that is a good thing:() as we want to get off when Mr Speirs arrives on his new 749S.

Why not just come along to say "hi" then at least you'll have met a few of us. The most noticeable absenteee will be Binky. He's the youngest of us by far too.:cool:

Binky is the same age as you, and he doesn't mind hanging around with the oldies! :D
Pete and I wear leathers all year, textiles are for poofs! :p
We just sling a fleece over the top for cold weather and rain. We'll be bimbling through Husbands Bosworth about 8.45am tomorrow, if you are anywhere near there then.
