View Full Version : Newbie
Hello!
I'm new to this forum, new to my SV and new to biking all together. Thought I'd get on here and see what's going on. Would love to come and meet up with you all at some point .. although guess I might be a bit slow right now :?
In the meanwhile, my SV's all brand new out of the box (although I did get extra fairings put on) and I know nothing at all about bikes, so would love some advice on what I can do to it to make it even cooler than I already think it is :) Bear in mind though ... although I work in the motor industry, I am a girlie, so I might not know quite what you're talking about unless you use plain english :oops:

Welcome to the Madhouse.
Make your way to Soho on Friday then, we just stand around, chat and drink coffee so your riding speed doesn't matter :)
If unsure of the way, let us know and I am sure that someone is coming from your area and can guide you in a game of "Dodge the Pedestrian Lemmings in the Soho One-way system"
If you are in the right bit of town, might even be able to help you myself :)

To quote Kinvig
Mumsy is down this Friday so I'm obligated to do the dutiful-son thing.
I may stop by once I've packed her onto a train at Euston.
"Mum, I can't wait for your train to leave...I have to meet some men from the internet on a street corner in Soho. They'll be wearing leather"
So thats what we do, check out the Soho Massive section of the Forum

Bonjour!
Welcome to the site! loads of sections on the site regarding bits and bolts to add on to your bike including photos section to see what they look like.
First mod would have to be the exhaust as it makes the SV sound that much better.
Of course the real question is...what colour SV? :D
Also check out the christmas meal in the threads above

She's dark blue. Personally, I think she's lovely .. although I wasn't that impressed with the colour choice .... I'm sure I'll be getting a re-spray at some point. I think I've been reading elsewhere on the site that this is the 'horrible' blue ..... but I'm trying not to take it personally :lol:

good on you if Falc would let me i'd add a topbox to his bike but he won't so i settle for panniers and a rucksack :roll:
Nice colour if you ask me! But there does appear to be something box-like stuck on the back....hmmmmm :wink:
Welcome btw! You have Soho, Guildford Massive and Selkent to choose from :P All are handy places to get things done/learned!

No we won't banish you to the deepest fiery depths of hades for having a topbox but we may snigger like children and point a bit. :lol: :wink:
that's fine .. I'm tough enough to take some sniggering :) I might just find my own stuff to snigger at you lot for :lol: :laughat:

Gutted .. I can't do Thursdays .. I'm training to be a sports therapist and Thursdays is college night. Can't do Friday in SoHo either since my friend has me hooked up with a blind date :? but will definately be along to something to meet you all soon .... :D
Hey Wanny - welcome to the site. See you at a GM meet sometime.
Dont worry about the top box comments - there is another in the GM fold that has one as well - in fact there are a few closet topboxers on here and the sooner they comeout the more accepted you will all become :lol: :wink:

Ha ha .. Sevenoaks is a little far for me on a school night I think ... especially in this weather and before I get some kind of satnav to save me from getting lost everywhere :? but I should be able to make SoHo a week on Friday \:D/
Hi and welcome look forward to meeting you - and taking an angle grinder to your bike.
Well, it helps to change the can - it's for the best really :lol:
Welcome,
A girl joins and suddenly the GM section gets a lot more busy. :lol:
Ha ha ... maybe I'll get chucked out of Guildford Massive for my topbox crimes :lol:
Just don't let Jonboy see it if you ever go to the Soho meet. ;)
Guildford have another meet at The Ely, Blackwater every second Wednesday.
