Hey guys,
Moving from Plymouth (SW area - rather quiet on the meet front) to Aldershot in Jan - doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out why. ![]() I'm looking for some SV buddies, had mine about 6 months, just got it back from the re-sprayers after throwing down the road in the recent cold spell. I really need some advice on: 1. How not to keep throwing my bike down the road. 2. Where locally I could get to finish the cosmetics/ mods. 3. Any local advice on maintenance because I suck. 4. Most importantly where can I get a good wet (brew) on a Sunday morn. Otherwise I'm well up for some ride outs to get my confidence back and learn the local area. Cheers |

Hi mate, good to see another addition to the GM
![]() 1. Don't ride when its cold ![]() 2. Avoid a place called Bisley Coachworks. Myself & Jam can both testify to their ****ness... 3. Don't know about Aldershot but Nick Robinson's in Basingstoke(ish) is pretty decent. 4. Your wife And finally, welcome ![]() |

![]() 1. Crashing is bad. Don't do it! 2. See Jammy for how not to do it! 3. Plenty of advice to be had from all here on bike maintenance. Just ask and we'll help. I don't think many of us take our bikes to garages for servicing. 4. Loomies is where we normally go, or Alton Station cafe. They're your two localish bike haunts now. Welcome on board mate. ![]() ![]()

The other guys have pretty much covered the points
![]() Just up the road in North Cmap is Infinity Motorcycles who do servicing, however i have never used them and don't know anyone who has so can't comment on their work or prices. A place i can recommend is Haslemere Motorcycles, based in Bordon. I've not had my bike serviced there but i do buy a lot of parts from there and use the knowledge of their parts/service mechanics. In regards to a Brew, there are quite a number of places we visit on a rideout/meet up that make a decent cuppa Welcome to the GM |

The last time I use them was shortly after buying my 1st SV from them as they gave me a discount on a service. A very poor service it was too! Was booked in for a "Full service" they only changed the rear spark plug, didn't replace the air filter, oil filter was replaced but the oil was still very dark when I checked it. But that was a few years ago now so they may be better now it's "the bike shop" I rarely take the bikes to shops for work, they go to Normandy motorcycles for their MOTs though and they're pretty good down there, i've been using htem for MOTs since about 1997!

Don't hit a deer, don't listen to bordteas advice on wet riding, and don't go to Alton on a Sunday, they're closed.
Loomies is always good as are the roads down to it but there's plenty of other places we ride and drink tea. |

Navy, strangely, kinda lost the sea again....but something different should be appealing,
Well up for a ride out once I'm settled. |
