Spotted an SV in Cullercoats was it anyone from the ORG?

I was putting more miles on my bike before (8000rpm is much more fun than 5500) when I spotted Spotted an SV in Cullercoats heading to tynemouth was it anyone from the ORG?


It sounded awesome by the way!

That'd be me (if it was the silvery blue and you were on the turquoise/blue). Drop me a pm if you fancy a bimble some time - any pace. :)

Nice exhaust mate. I spent 4 hours just rediscovering the roads round the coast. I'm definitely getting into this 8000 rpm limit i now have. Have you been over to the lakes on yours yet?

[gettin2dizzy]

yeah but not for a while. Might head up around kielder this weekend though, I've got a route that's meant to be ace- including a forest road or two! I was going nice and slow when I saw you - you should hear it with some gas :)

Were you riding through seghill this afternoon about 4:30? Silver SV.

[gettin2dizzy]

wasn't me unfortunately. There doesn't seem many around unfortunately so I'm keen to get some of us together at some point. Beer or bike :) How you finding the SV so far? Limited to 8000 can be so satisfying. 4500-8000 rpm in 4th just sounds gorgeous :) Real lazy acceleration

Well if it helps it was not me but don't live to far away from you both iam in West Allotment Blue SV 650S

So that's three SV's in quite a small area. Do we have a north east chapter set up yet?

I'm very impressed with my bike to be honest. The finish is terrible like but as long as its kept clean I think it should last. I was initially a little dissapointed especially with the handling but i've increased pre load by one click at both ends (not sure what this does) and it seems to handle nicely now both solo and with a pillion.

The brakes have really started to bed in nicely and the motor is just great especially along the beehive! I'm fitting my tail tidy today and have a few other mods on the way.

I'm heading out in about an hour if you fancy it?

[gettin2dizzy]

oh - and the beehive I love! It's been known for me to do 80 miles in a session on that road alone ;) (sad I know!)

I thought it might have been me but I'm on a blue curvy. I road from the Sluice to Tynemouth then through the town. We all need to hook up being so close. I'm in Seghill but was in the garden at 4.30 so wasn't me then.

I think there should be an "I saw an SV!" section of the forum. I occasionally see them on my travels and wouldn't mind knowing if it's someone here, or if it isn't :)

I'd already been out for an hour or two at this point! The weather was amazing yesterday. Then later when it dulled down I Tidied my tail up, thank you hamicad.
