Hi

I passed my direct access just over two weeks ago and am very recently the proud new owner of an SV650s K5. The problem is no one in my family rides and only 1 or 2 of my friends ride.

The South West is a pretty big place so I was wondering if much happens in South Gloucestershire and the surrounding Bristol area? Hope to hear from you soon.

Cheers, Ben

Hello mate

Nice to see another SW'ner. I'm in Bournemouth so not too far away. There will be others along in a bit that are a bit closer to you.

Good luck with the bike

There are quite a few guys from that area, Beenz & Cuffy above, but also Stretchie, Gruntygiggles etc are also near Bristol.

We live in Halesowen near Brum, but travel usually into Wales not far from you. Keep a look in the Madlanders section too as they quite often come south. I also work in Cheltenham, so always around the area.

BaP, sorry for the derail. If you want a wing to fly under you can ride with me.
Although I'm not looking for love, Jesus gives me all I need.

I am a friendly face in Weston Super Mare and I have also been known to tinker in garage with bikes too as I learn my way around my SV. I passed my tests two weeks ago and am now on my SK3, just getting used to her and her hooligan manners. However, I think that you will find the Bristol crowd closer to you than you are to us. Have fun and keep it shiny side up. :D

That's the best replay to a hello yet I think.

Why thank you. No idea where it came from, but others in the collection may be kept off of the net for an unreasonable price...
