Hi mate...

Wilts seems to be a bit of a quiet area for SV's.

Wiltshire Bikers meet on Thursdays near Castle Combe and they are trying to get a Friday night going in Trowbridge.
Quite an active club with an official ride out once a month and a few more as well.

See: http://www.wiltshirebikers.co.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl

What would be nice is an SV meet somewhere in the area.

Where are you in Wilts ?
Cheers

Lovely area... I used to drive there to blat about and annoy the pheasants (and peasants) in my noisy bright red Westfield.

Now I've growd up I ride my noisy bright yellow SV :D although the pheasants cause me a lot more concern now !

Really like the roads South from there heading towards the Salisbury plain.

Look forward to catching you at a meet sometime.

I'm (sort of) in Devizes, but life is a bit complicated at the moment.

Know what you mean about all those tucked away country pubs. I don't think that I could visit them all in a lifetime.

Welcome to the forum Zachl! What's made you want to sell the CBR for an SV? Have you found one yet? If not....see here and pick yourself up a mint bargain...

http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=148278

Lovely bikes, unfortunately, I just don't feel as comfortable on them as a few other bikes at the moment, but that will probably change after I've been riding for a while.

thankyou,

and i dont actually like the look of the bubble ones in afraid so i wont be going for that one, i have seen a black one 150 miles away and its fully faired which is what im after,

im getting rid of the cbr because its a 98 carb model, with a manuel choke and no fuel gauge, its a brilliant bike and has cost me a lot to get it looking nice but its time to upgrade i think.

You're after a pointy then.....be prepared for much ribbing from Squirrel_Hunter when you meet him. If he gets too bad though, just ask him has he blown an engine up recently? ;-)

Hi mate...

Until the SV Org gets a local meet, how about joining us at the Black Horse in Trowbridge on Friday nights.
It's a new meet but we had about a dozen at our first night two weeks ago.

The pub is on the Southwick road out of Trowbridge.

Cheers

zachl

Sounds good, don't forget, this coming Monday is a bank holiday though so might not be as many there.

I'm not sure if I will, got a BBQ in Sadly Broke to go to on Monday afternoon.

Gerry
30-04-10, 09:26 AM
It would be great to meet some other local SV owners.

This bank holiday Monday is not good for me as I'm on a Wiltshire Bikers ride-out down to Mudeford Key.

See Post 13: http://www.wiltshirebikers.co.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1272361316

How about joining us ?

If not, would be keen on another Monday meet / run.

Bank Holiday Monday, 7.15pm is good for me at the mo.

This may change if there is a big Wiltshire Bikers ride-out but nothing planned as yet.

It's a good little commuter bike. Very stylish and there are plenty of aftermarket bits and bobs out there for it.

Bank Holiday Monday is not looking good now, sorry chaps.

I got carried away at the pub recently and said I would go on a 28 mile walk to "keep somebody company" not my best idea, but she has very long legs :-)

It's a charity walk, they are doing 131 miles in five days and I said I'd go on the last day.
I suspect that if we are finished by 7PM I'll just be wanting to eat and sleep.

Hope to catch you all soon though.

Cheers
