Hello World - SV650.org

29-09-10, 03:22 PM

Hi Everyone.

I thought it would be a good idea to quickly introduce myself as I'm a new boy around here.

I'm Stu, 36 year old new biker. By new I mean that I passed a week ago and I'm picking up my new toy on Saturday

. I've managed to get hold of a lovely 650s (54 plate) and I'm about as excited as it's possible to get.
Actually, coupled with the pant wetting excitement is a small degree of nervousness as I've never ridden anything like this. I learned on a Honda 500 sit up and beg (never was sure what it was), so this is quite a departure. But by this time next week I'm sure that I won't be able to get the smile off my face.

I'm Midlands based and happily married, and we have a cat.

Pleased to meet you

Hi Stu, welcome to the world of SV!

You'll enjoy every minute, I guarantee it.

I have two cats, one big chunky one called errr.. Chunky and his little sister Mia.

Welcome to the .org there are plenty in your region, go check out the locals in your regional section for ride outs.

Hiya and welcome NewStu... best of luck with the bike and can we have a photo of the cat please

Welcome, u'll love it.

At first, you'll think "wow this is so fast." And it will be compared to a car.

But in time, you will get used to it. Enjoy the huge buzz it gives as a new rider. But remember, your not Rossi yet, you've passed your test, now spend the rest of your life learning how to ride that bit better

U'll love it

Welcome matey, where abouts in the mids?
We get out a fair bit so keep an eye out in madlands section, then get yourself a dirt bike and join the mad laners

Thanks for the warm welcome all

.

For those of you who are interested I'm in the Burton on Trent area, although I'm originally from Liverpool.

For those of you who are interested the cat is called Tabbs. I'll see what I can do about a picture.

I think that my first few weeks/months will be quite slow and steady (especially considering the time of year) but I'm sure that I'll get into the swing of things soon enough. I'll check out the local rides and if I feel that I won't show myself up too badly I may come and join some like minded nutters for a laugh.

I can't wait.
