View Full Version : Hiya from a newbie!!
Thought I'd say hello as I've been browsing the forum on and off for the last couple of weeks since I got my SV :D
It's curvy, naked and blue, lowered (I'm only 5'2") and I can't actually ride it yet (have never ridden anything other than a pushbike so far lol) but I've got my DAS booked for the end of this month with my test on the 5th July so keep your fingers crossed for me!! I can't wait to get out on it 8-)
Hello

Welcome to the madhouse!

Ta everyone :D madhouse is about right for me...I must be mad to get the bike and everything before ever riding other than as a pillion! I put it down to a mid-life crisis cos I'm going to be 30 in September...maybe I'm heading for an early menopause OMG!!
i got the menopause early too, passed my test when i was 35, so you're in good company

30 had better not be mid life.
Avast there louloulou...by the powers, I'll wager yer not headed for Fiddlers Green:reaper: just yet. Come aboard lass for I be loaded to the gunnels wi' grog!!:drink:
30 had better not be mid life.
I agree - mines at the end of Nov.
"How do" by the way
30 had better not be mid life.
It feels like it to me ;) I can just imagine myself becoming a withered old hag soon lol

Hello and good luck with your test :D
Are you the same LouLou as the singer from the 60's cause if you are I reckon you're lying about your age ;)

Is that a comment about size of bait? :shock:
Welcome Lou. (See Oli, no ugly comments here, so Loulou gets a welcome :p)
She was here just before me, should she be welcoming me as well? A bit like Pay it Forward but without that annoying kid.

Loulou, I passed my test 7 months ago with a baby on the way. I am now 37, so your still too young for a midlife. Good luck to you and welcome.

Hello from down South, and good luck with the test.
Bloody newbies clogging up my twisty roads :smt040 - I passed my bike test in April 1979, 5 days after my 17th birthday and before half of you lot were a glint in yer dad's eye. My bike test was a farce, I couldn't light the acetylene for the headlight cos my tinder box got damp, and then I nearly ran into the bloke walking in front with the red flag. It was raining on the morning of my test, as I listened to that nice Mr MacMillan telling us on the wireless that we'd never had it so good. I thought "You might not have, but I have to clamber aboard this velocipede decked out from head to foot in gaberdene and galoshes, mate. Never had it so good - you're having a laugh"
Welcome LouLou, I'm a newcomer to the site as well - stick around, the locals are friendly and the advice they give is excellent.
Thought I'd say hello as I've been browsing the forum on and off for the last couple of weeks since I got my SV :D
It's curvy, naked and blue, lowered (I'm only 5'2") and I can't actually ride it yet (have never ridden anything other than a pushbike so far lol) but I've got my DAS booked for the end of this month with my test on the 5th July so keep your fingers crossed for me!!

Hi LouLou, just joined myself today. Completed my DAS last month and picking up my SV on sunday :D You'll walk (well ride) the DAS, remember to practice ya U-Turns and Life Savers.... everything else is like your pushbike (well nearly!) :) Then the learning really starts!

Hey!
I'm 5ft 4 and struggle to get on my partners bike! Im a pillion but often think about doing my tests and getting my own bike but it seems scary!
I'm 5ft 8 with unfeasibly stumpy short legs. I struggle with every bike known to man. Watching me get on a Triumph Tiger 1050 has become the company spectator sport when I take them on test rides - last time they got a foot-stool out for me.
