Did you do the whole course with Kent and Sussex rider training? Or just your test at the test centre?
Drumming_Animal
17-01-11, 11:24 PM
Just my test, had lessons and Module 1 down here, then did my Module 2 in Tunbridge Wells. Only did it at Tunbridge Wells because everywhere else was full and i would have to wait a few weeks. Didnt do too badly seeing as i dont know any of Tunbridge Wells at all.
Having never even been on a bike before and me only learning because I had nothing better to do... I did the cbt and a couple of days training and passed my DAS with 3 minors which I didn't think was too bad!
Kent and Sussex biker training were brilliant and would recommend them to anyone!
Drumming_Animal
18-01-11, 10:16 AM
Nicely done :D
I grabbed a 125 in the very early spring and went around on that for quite a while, got used to it pretty quick. Then in August decided to do my test but because i was too young to do the test with the 600 i had to do it on my 125. Passed it all first time. Couple of minors but still got it all so i was dead happy. And got used to the 650 quick when i jumped on the SV. In fact one of my instructers let me have a squirt on a Gladius while practising for the Module 1. Had no connection with me getting an SV though.
I did all my lessons with J.S Gedge, you may have heard of them, theyre quite well known down here, got a few dealers as well as doing training.

Welcome! I think you're fairly near the A262 and A264 which are good. Another good run is down to Rye, or you could try a run to Dungeoness?

The only routes i've done so far are A20 and A252 down to canterbury which is a good one. Also done trip to Rye through Headcorn on A274. Last time I rode the A262 I was on my 125 and my gearbox went, locked up back wheel on a bend through Biddenden, first experience of keeping the bike from tipping over and crashing though.
Anyone tried routes around Tunbridge wells area?

Ricado? Oh I meant to ask a while ago but is tapatalk a good app? I was looking at it the other day but wasn't too sure if it was worth the money
Ricardo is our webhamster that keeps the site running and also a member if Selkent. As for tapatalk yes it's brilliant fir forums. The only thing you can't do is vote or create polls.

Have you tried Laguna, they usually have more stuff in there as Hein Gericke are pretty crap at the whole getting stock in for customers.
LiquidFlux
15-12-13, 03:52 PM
Not yet, I gave Inta Motorcycles a go last week.
Was hoping the Hein Gericke would get some delivered as they won me over on customer loyalty recently, I phoned about a few places last month asking if anybody local had the pinlock fitting kits, HG ended up cleaning my lid and fitting in a Fogcity-like insert and didn't ask anything for it.
Will give Laguna a go tomorrow, ta.
Lets face it, im still the only one who has an SV. All the others have defected. Its more about the people than the bikes ;)
All is welcome no matter how you arrive (ooo Er)

Also went out with Criggers on the SVs last Monday, when it was absolutely ****ing it down. Would happily do it again. Now waiting on a good ride out to come about, despite the weather.

SV1000 is road legal - mostly. The other two 650s are quantum legal - as in they are in an indeterminate state between legal and illegal until you get caught riding them.
