Hi there,

My name's Tom and I've signed up to SV650.org in the last few minutes.

I'm very new to biking, passed my module 2 test a couple of weeks ago and had my SV650 for barely a week and I'm absolutely loving it.

Had my first decent rideout on "Hoggin' the Bridge" last Sunday. We had to have an extended ride home via Glos though. As fun as the processional traffic jam was, I was desperate to put her through her paces just a little.

Having upgraded, I now have a 125cc for sale:

Anyways, hope to meet some of you soon!

Hi I live North of Bristol, in Stoke Gifford. It's great for access to both motorways and country lanes.

In all fairness, I've only been on my bike for the um total of a week commute since the AR.

Took it out the other week and it died on me, just not got around to checking it out. Either duff battery or possibly reg/rec as the same symptoms as when the reg/rec went on the BlackBird.

Just didd pull my finger out and fix it

Hello from Weston Super Mud. :kiss:

I seem to spend all of my time recently blasting up the rotten bit of the M5 between Weston and Portishead, got me a squared off tyre good enough for a truck now. Once it is sorted, would love to go for a blast one day. :smt026

Anyway, welcome to the org, they are a nice bunch, just a bit strange! :shock:
