SV650.org - SV650 & Gladius 650 Forum



Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).
There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Default Thanks

I just want to say a massive thanks to all the .org members who have offered sympathy, advice, and loan of kit after eviltwin and my accident on Good(?!?) Friday. I really appreciate all of it!

I also want to say another massive thank you to everyone who made yesterday's GM rideout such a great day, especially to Dirtydog who tolerated me being pillion all day so that I could join in.

We all go through something similiar in different degrees and thats the great thing about the org, we are all come together when were needed even though we may have a rant and some banter. Every person on the forum is willing to help in any way possible and the important thing is you and eviltwin are still here and in one piece. Bikes repaired or replaced but not body parts (usually)

It's great that the rideout went so well, one of the best (even though I was a Did Not Qualify with brake problems) Everyone has said how good it was and it shows and its awesome you were able to attend your own rideout and eviltwin to snap some quality pictures.

Right off you go to organise the next rideout

I echo Sarah's thanks - great support and cheerful medicine from the Guildford Massive and lots of others.

Funny...nobody even took the mickey too much for me attending the rideout in my Yaris!!! Did feel a slight plonker for parking up and running over from the car to hang out with bikers whilst wearing my shorts! Must have looked like a proper hanger on! It was all in the name of photography work you know!

You know what would have been really cool? Is if you where really enthusiastic and drove the car on one side, just so you can say that at elast you where on two wheels

I don't know if it was borrowed kit or your own but, after some intense study on Sunday of you on the pillion the fitted effect was very pleasing indeed, so my thanks also (although they have to be shared by Ness and BBC as well )

Cheers Mark.
