View Full Version : Preaching the SV650.org gospel
Everytime I pull up next someone on an SV, I starting shouting
"Are you on the SV forum?"
So far, not one has said yes :? Should I stop pestering fellow bikers?

Not untill they arrest you :twisted:
Mabey you should flyer them.
The oddest thing i had, was on my way home on the Old Kent Road, stopped at the lights and the owner of my bike 3 years ago pulled up beside me and said if i had bought that from his freind. He was on a SV1000.

I've brought a few people here from other forums, but I've only had one success in person...

When I had my Falco, I got a message on the Aprilia forum I used to frequent from another user.
He'd seen me come past (he was on an old CBF1000) filter through traffic and raise the front wheel off of some lights (Falco's just do that :lol: ).
He knew it was me as my plate had a tag line of "You've been Jelstered"......
I spoke to a guy on a 749 one morning on the way to work who had just got an SV for commuting, he was picking it up later that week. I told him about the site, but I'm not sure if he ever came here.
And no, never give up preaching the word of SV650.org....
.
A few of the LB people have a small tag line on their front screen etc. Does not seem to have picked up here realy.
about 8 SV's chased another SV thru the streets of Bournemouth last year. I'm sure if we'd had the chance to speak to him we'd have told him about this website..... :D

Me:
Hiya, do you go on the cat forum on t'internet?
Other cat owner:
The inter-whatter-net?
Me:
OOOOOOKAY then. Bah-bye

I asked a guy on a black pointy a few months ago at some lights. He said "Yeh, once or twice...you ,must be Spiderman then, yeh? :shock: Freaked me out a bit that did.
My Hornet has an org sticker on the plate :lol:

I ask people all the time - in fact there was the guy on the red pointy on Friday night who we passed on the way to Soho who knew who we were.
We had some Soho Massive calling cards made up a while back, to keep them in your pocket and hand to anyone you met that wanted to know about the .org -there were quite a few takers.
And whoever gets my car next week will have an .org sticker on the bumper!

I remember those cards Debs, you gave me a half dozen or so which I duly passed on to SVers whilst out and about, I'm not aware of anyone on here who joined up as a result though, perhaps I scared them off.

I didn't have any business cards, so I painted "JOIN SV650.ORG" on the tank of a local SV in my own blood- all I had to hand. You'd think that after I made the effort, he'd have signed up...

See, now that's dedication.
Keep up the good work, how many tanks do you think you can do with 8 pints of blood, or at least how many 'til you faint?

You have to get one of those 'flip-up' number plate things with 'SV650.ORG' on it, or one of those LED message boards fitted to the back of your bike then ;)

If you fed him cakes and pies for a couple months you might get a pint and a half...

He is the same height as me ie 6ft but if you put him sideways in a wind tunnel, he would have a better CD than an F1 car - he is built for speed!
Not dissing Mr North obviously cos I'm also built for speed :lol:

On the way to AR05 I stopped and bumped into the Essex guys, who greeted me with "You must be Spiderman!"
Then a few months ago I pull up at the lights, look at the guy next to me - it was Spiderman!

We Spidermen get about a bit dont we, eh? :lol:
At least if i ever get into any bother and someone comes looking for the guy with the spiderman lid....i can point them over to your house :lol:
even if your bike is red and mines blue. Its details like that that spoil a good idea you know. :)

Were they Soho Massive specific? if not could you (with admins approval) post the image, anyone of us could print a few off and hand them out as you did.
I've spoken to a few other SV'ers around Cardiff, but I dont think they ever found their way here.
