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.

As far as roads go and once you've got the basics down pat, I can recommend heading north out of Plymouth across the moors to Tavi, and fancy seeing what the twisties are all about. From there, North Devon is your oyster and plenty of quiet roads to enjoy.

The best part of it, we were reading Environmental Science! We were hated when we turned up in college with his super loud exhaust and heavy fuel usage...
Lol that's ace, I was in uni halls last year and they really didn't like it when I was rebuilding my mates FZR in the kitchen. Apparently 2 gallon of petrol next to the cooker and the ashtray is a fire hazard??? Poofs.

As for environmental sciences, there's loads of hippy muppets at leeds uni studying that, always fun when I'm leaving at the same time as them hehe

Welcome Jayne.

One of my housemates is currently working towards her PhD in an environmental science discipline, she owns a ZX-9R, an FZ400 rat-bike and a car. Her boyfriend has a Bandit 1200 that is lucky to manage 25mpg on a good day, an MZ150 that smokes like an early morning picket line and a 2.5 litre Vectra.
