Indroduce myself

[ryansv]

Just a quick one to introduce myself really have been looking around the forum for ages so thought it was about time I contributed :) I gotta curvey black sv but restricted to 33bhP. Is my first year riding so still learning lots :) I am from water orton in Birmingham And look forward to Meeting others :)

[Specialone]

Welcome mate :)
You aint far from me either, im in castle brom, which is handy on rideouts.
Bassetts pole and the waterman are meets in the summer months to get yourself along to.
There will be plenty of rides when the weather improves, so get yourself on as many as you can.

Phil

[MisterTommyH]

How do.

[ryansv]

Cheers phil, dropped in bassetts pole in late September a couple of times. Rideouts sound good just hope the weather gets good quickly

You being young will probably prefer bassetts but i dont like all the knobs it attracts, and the police for that matter.
The waterman is much better and a better ride to get to with less police most of the time, albeit i did get a tug last year for pulling away from a unmarked bike cop at 86 in a 50 :(, got away with it just about cos his bike wouldnt start, fair to say i was more careful after that.

[ryansv]

Ha is always the way, bassetts is heaving with coPs, your right few knobs there as well. Never heard of waterMan to be honest

[barwel1992]

Hi, im not far from you ether (travel in to brum a few times a month)

Its an affordable way to get off road, but its only a pansy version if your a pansy with the throttle and/or choose the chicken routes around obsticles.

Sometimes you have to understand that kids will be kids and have a bit of tolerance ;)

Ah ha! Now where your dig fails is that I have never claimed to be any good! It's just you (and Sunshine) that have yet to come out and prove the skills ;)

Anyway, what has that got to do with riding off whilst you pick up a 990? :p
