Default 2 SVs spotted in Knutsford

I was back visiting family in Knutsford, Cheshire (I now live in the US) and spotted 2 SVs in Knutsford, both 2nd gens, one light blue, one dark blue. Was it anyone from here? If so, do you live locally to Knutsford?

Hello Alex J I recognise that avatar from a certain US of A site that we unscrupulously used to our advantage while the org had problems.


Hello and Welcome

pity you didn't drop in here before your visit and we could have possibly had a rideout in your honour (any excuse for a blast)

Thanks for the welcome!!!!

Nah, I would have been seriously jealous if you had ridden in my honor while I was in the UK. The roads make me green with envy compared to our flat straight roads in Michigan.

I looked into renting a bike while I was back, and I believe that I could have done - I just didn't have any of my gear. Will be more prepared next time I visit.

I work (Sometimes) in Knutsford. We have an office down at Booths Hall, on the Chelford Road. Incidently I even bought my SV of a guy in Knutsford, pure co-incidence as I found it through bike trader and until I phoned him I didn't know the location.

Never seen any SV in Knutsford itself, but seen 1 down the A50 at Holmes Chapel a few weeks ago

LOL, I had no idea that there were cool people in Knutsford I must be underestimating my home town.
We'll have to sink a beer together Tim when I am next back.
