View Full Version : saturday ride????? anybody??
anyone fancy going for a ride today ? sat 14th? :riding:
Oh I would so love to but really can't afford it. Will probably spend the weekend sitting on the bike in the garage making loud "brum brum" noises, full leathers of course :roll: .
Anyway, isn't the weather supposed to be really crappy tomorrow?
**EDIT**
Does this mean you've fixed the bike now then?
No can do old fruit :(
My time tomorrow belongs to others.

hmmm... VFR800 ?
should have told you, my local garage has a pre-reged fireblade, last years model granted, but still brand new, going rather cheap for a new bike....
No can do this week. Would like to meet up with you guys very soon. Are you all in bristol on thursday nights. If so what time and where.

err... no. Not a VFR, something a tad more involved, less refined one could argue. You'll see it in a week or two if you'r at the roo. I do have to run it in though :cry:

Should be there again this week. See here (http://forums.sv650.org/viewtopic.php?t=37268) for directions. The turning is a little hidden but just aim for the bar, we park right outside.
We get there for about 6:30, the more the merrier...

Continental, I should hope not. I didn't die in two world wars just so you could go around riding foreign bikes. In my day.....
more pots than the SV.
955cc Triumph ??
i'd like to come on a thursday night, jabba said he might come in a week or 2 so perhaps i will come then

Yup I really wanted the Gixer thou but the more I looked at the deal it would be a tad expensive for a year old bike even though the milage was low. The vibe at 80 (on this particular bike) had me worried as thats probably the most used speed, certainly in the cooler weather.
So I wanted a bigger bike with at least the same sort of instant midrange torque of the SV but a bit more to rev out. Anyway a recently discontinued brit bike is being sold off a few grand cheaper than retail, OK it does not have the chassis of the gixer or the spenders and it's heavier. But watching one keep up with me on the way home last Saturday clearly showed it's no slouch on the twisties. Looks like a lot of fun and maybe a bit more of a chellenge.
mac99 wins the prize of the folding drinking straw construction set, a black Daytona 955i is on its way from Hinckley. Looking forward to the 6K service intervals.
I don't have to change my leathers either to a new colour.

Doesn't your neighbour have that bike, in black, and has the same HG leathers (in yellow if I recall)?
Nice bike though...
