Hello All

I should have done this sooner, been on here since August and been reading loads of great posts, a very informative site.

Posted a few questions and had plenty of replies.

Any way, name is Barry, and I am located in Coalville which is on the A 511 northwest of Leicester.

Started riding back in the late 70's but only got as far as 125 befor the car took over.

Back into bikes start of this year after thinking about it for the last 2 years, did my DAS and then got back on the road with a GS500F which I put 2K on befor getting the SV650 S Sport last month.

Just short of the 1000 miles on it and realy love it.

Get to bike meeting at Six hills and the Vic pub in Coalville most weeks and they have a good turn out, a lot of bigger bikes there but dont feel out of place with my SV and do get quite a few who come and have a look, which is more than I did with the GS500, seemed to get the idea of what is that doing here:o

Anyway hope to see som of you midland based SV riders about.

Great forum and thanks for the help given so far

Barry

Forgot to mention that I used to live in that part of the country (well sort of - other side of Leicester) but my auntie lives in Odstone and my Uncle in Rothley.

Nice part of the country

But not as nice as Ecosse. . . . . . . the fatherland :D

Rothley is my side of Leicester North West side, About 10 miles away on some quite narrow back lanes .... plenty of horses, and oh yes past a golf club, been a few wayward balls along that lane, not been on my bike past it but know of a few drivers that dont any more !!
And yes its been in the news just a bit of late !!
