The new Guy!!
 

Hey guys i'm new to the biking world and this site so thought i wouldsay hi!!. I'm from Stonehaven near Aberdeen, getting my Suzuki sv 650s in 2 months time. it's a 55 plate with 800 miles on the clock and blue. In perfect condition and at a bargain price so can't wait to get it home. Passed my full bike test 2 weeks ago so can't wait to get out for a ride. Anyone on here near me?

Welcome to the Madhouse

Stoney eh?

Used to live just up the road in Aberdeen :)

Jsust take it careful on the bypass :)

Re: The new Guy!!
 

Yeah i'll be taking it easy for a while, just wanna get more comfortable riding around once i get the SV home. Not a speed freak to be honest i just love the feeling of being out there on two wheels! that's half the reason i did my bike test in Aberdeen. Took me 3 weeks start to finish and just can't wait to get going now!. i know aberdeen really well where were you from?

Re: The new Guy!!
 

Ahoy! :)

There's a couple up your neck of the woods I think, they'll be along shortly.

Quedos is organising our next rideout for the sheepsha, sorry, Aberdeen area so see you then mate.

Re: The new Guy!!
 

I'm from stonehaven so can't be associated with the sheep----- name :) as i say won't get the bike for a month or two as just waiting for the guy that owns it to get his triumph rocket.

Originally from Ayrshire to be honest, moved to the Bridge of Don @ 11, then out to Alford about 18 - then down here to Londonshire :)

Re: The new Guy!!
 

That would explain the pathetic (brilliant for you) mileage on a 55 plate then. He must be a dry weather & polishing type of guy. Nice one.

Garry:cool:

Re: The new Guy!!
 

Mmmmmm......... Polishing ;)

Nice one Stoney, welcome to the site.

PLenty good info and advice around, copious amounts of p1sh too!

Now I got rid of the Man Flu should be back out on mine.

Went through the clyde tunnel on the way home on Friday.

WOW... that's what aftermarket cans are for :thumbsup:

Gorious sound.

Hello! :smt039

Re: The new Guy!!
 

yeah im pretty happy with the mileage and the condition of the bike. I'm getting it for around £2,300 that sound ok to you guys?. Thanks for the warm welcome folks, i work odd hours as a chef at a restaurant in stonehaven so my time online is limited to afternons and late nights ( a bit nocturnal ).

Re: The new Guy!!
 

Welcome to the site Dez youve picked a decent bike to have lots of fun on.

An SV650S was my first real bike and I had it for 5 years

Hope you can make it to some of our rideouts and dont be shy on here if you cant.

Re: The new Guy!!
 

Welcome.

Safe :riding: when you get it

Re: The new Guy!!
 

Had a couple of imaginary ones before that...

Re: The new Guy!!
 

hey thanks, i intend to hold onto this bike for acouple of years once i get it and basically learn the extras that lessons just don't teach you then maybe get something bigger once i have a year or two under my belt. I'll try and pop out on a rideout if one is near me sometime just with my work hours being akward i may not manage just have to wait and see :).

Re: The new Guy!!
 

hello - you've made a great choice for a first bike. I'm sure you'll love it...

if you want to gain experiance, try the IAM. i did it 6months after buying my bike best thing i ever did!!!

Re: The new Guy!!
 

What is the IAM??

Re: The new Guy!!
 

Institute of Advance Motoring

Here is the link

http://www.iam.org.uk/

Re: The new Guy!!
 

Thanks a lot ill check it out :)

Re: The new Guy!!
 

+1 for IAM. A great thing that.

Here's the important thing Dez - you don't need to turn up every meet, so you're OK with your shifts. Just watch out for the price hike that's coming, but it's still a bargain at the new cost. Watch for show deals at the bike show in March too - only a week or so away now.

Your local bike groups own website / forum thing... http://www.iam-adam.org/

Re: The new Guy!!
 

this is the bike i should be getting in a month or two once the owner has bought his triumph rocket 3 :)

Good lookin bike mate, like the black frame and black wheels, pity the fairings werent black too ;)

Hope you get some decent clothes for the bike you look as if you are dressed for an 80's Italian scooter :cool:

Re: The new Guy!!
 

i could always get my body shop friend to sort me out ;) yeah i have the clothes that was me just going round for a look at my future investment. no insurance policy on it so wasn't taking it anywhere just up and down his drive with the spare helmet.

Re: The new Guy!!
 

That's ginger all right...

Re: The new Guy!!
 

yes i certainly am and proud of it :D

Re: The new Guy!!
 

Hey Dez somebody else from corsasport.

Damo (vxr) is on here as well you know albeit i think he's selling his sv now and rides a bandit.

Enjoy the bike when you get it.
