Life in this section
Saw two SV's on road the other week, another two at Llandow and I know someone on here with one but the Wales banter/convo is pretty dead. Is there no one riding their bikes for fun in Cardiff/Wales?
If so, share your experience or lets get some local rideouts going. I'm bored and the weather's not that bad. Entertain me god dammit! |

Re: Life in this section
That's fair enough. I just can't imagine why people are less active/vocal on here when all the northern or even London sections are always doing something. In theory we have better routes and roads to ride on, loads of places to see. Yet I do more meets and rideouts with other groups that are not on here. Just puzzling.
Also, we have two accessible tracks in Wales yet i've never seen another Org member from this section at one. I did meet a guy with another SV and he opened my eyes as to how the standard bike can be ridden to the edge on track and it was a pleasure, so it can't be because everyone uses the bike just for commuting. On that note, I'm going to France in a couple of weeks. Anyone fancy a rideout? |

We need someone to organise things. Thank you for volunteering for that position.

Re: Life in this section
Haha, I doubt anyone would come! I'm not a fair weather rider and will go out in most things. As we speak I can see some blue peeking through the heavy clouds so I will be going up to Brecon after the MotoGP

Re: Life in this section
Don't assume things like that. MoFo's are accustomed to the climate. However, myself, I'm in the orifice today as I was yesterday so no fun for me...

Re: Life in this section
dont listen to squirrel bummer as he is literally that. he is also on the "register" so I'd be careful.
i did try and organise a track day at castle combe year before last (i think). But allas despite loads of interest only metalhead and nick-69 booked on. So when i tend to want to go out for a blast for the day, i do it by phone so i get answers. Nothing personal, i just dont want squirell bummer coming. |

Re: Life in this section
WB, I fully understand your point of view. However I would like to correct you, I'm no longer on the "register" I paid a shady bloke in a pub £50 to take me off of it.

Re: Life in this section
Haha, do you guys need some time alone?
Fair play WB. Just come back from Abergavenny and there were about 70 bikes there at the usual spot. GSXR's, Harleys, R1's, ZX1000's etc etc ... but only one other SV Cracking weather for the most part, so where was everyone (apart from your good selves of course)? I will take your advice though and try to organise a rideout for next weekend (weather permitting). |
