Newbie alert!

[Lisa]

Hi folks, Just in the process of buying my first proper bike and I wisely chose a SV 650!

Just move to Somerset through work and don't know anyone, so looking for like minded for rides, help with the new bike and a few laughs.

Anyone help a girl in distress?

[Stingo]

Ahoy & avast!! Welome t'ut mad'ouse!! Har Har Har di Har!!

[Biker Biggles]

Gday.
Some nice biking roads over Exmoor I seem to remember.:)

Welcome Lisa, good choice of bike there. The South West bunch often go out on the odd (and even) blat around. You are more than welcome to join us. Keep and eye on this area and you'll see the rideouts posted.

Coming up there is the Poole Quay, Bristol MoFos meet most Thursdays and the Welsh Taffia meet also. The next 'big' ridout is the Porlock run. There is a sticky for all of these.

We tend not to race on rideouts and will always try and make sure that we do not loose anyone as we use a marker system thats explained on the start of the ride.

Have fun!

what year of 650 do you have good choice and welcome to the site

Welcome to the site!

I can vouch that the S&W Surfers are a good bunch, seeing as I've abused their hospitality for a weekend in the past! :wink:

Watch out for that Stretchie though... :smt075



:lol:

[Lisa]

Thanks for the replys, been sitting home alone today, no bike, waiting for the new one (collect next weekend) and feeling pretty miserable!

Passed test last year and been riding an old honda 400 4 that someone gave me. A friend was nice enough to get it running and so been pootling around Somerset for a while on that.

Test rode the new bike this weekend and wayhay....., the difference been old and new is amazing! Glad you don't seem to act the lad on ride outs, need to improve my riding loads and get used to having brakes and actually being able to start first time!

Anyone near to Wincanton?

Hi there, welcome to the site.Like the others have said there's plenty that goes on in the area so get yourself along to one of the ride outs and introduce yourself.

Welcome,

A damsel in distress? I'm just repeating what the others said but the South West knights on their metal horses should rescue you.

Yep, just up the road! Would love to meet up sometime.

[Lisa]

Thanks for all the hello's.

Anyone noticed how they seem to be putting up CCTV cameras to watch the speedcameras, just 'cus, for no apparent reason, people seem to want to vandalise them? Noticed on the A37 and A303 today.

Also fed up with BMW drivers today cutting me up on the A303, as if going to Slough wasn't enough to put up with today, (that should offend all BMW drivers and people from Slough, but hey!)

[Alpinestarhero]

You chose an SV?!

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad choice

Unless

It's curvy and yellow :cool:

:D

Na, seriously, great choice of bike and welcome to the .org!

he might have a point there...

hello and welcome

[Jelster]

Welcome Lisa,

I can also vouch for most of the mutley (sorry South West) crew, having spent some riding time with them in the past...

There's nought wrong with Slough that a biological weapon couldn't sort out, but be careful, as I only live a few miles away (and so does the Queen).

Oh, and knocking BMW drivers is my job... I bet it was a 3 series, in either dark blue or black (the silver ones seem to be driven by old men wearing hats...)

Enjoy your stay...

Today has been tractors, horses and very, very, very, very slow lorries over the Mendips.

Weekend looms closer for collecting the new bike......got two days in Wolverhampton to struggle through first!

Want bike, want bike, want bike....

Hi Lisa

I'm down in Mere, Sherborne or Gillingham about once a month, so will try and see you round- maybe Hunters Lodge?
