Newbie in the SW!
 

Hi folks,

Just buying my first SV650, collect next weekend...yippee!

Moved to Somerset through work, don't know anyone and looking for like minded people for rides, friendship, help with the bike and few laughs.

Anyone help a damsel in distress?

This is the next rideout we have planned

Whereabouts in Somerset are you ?

Welcome to the site.

Re: Newbie in the SW!
 

Not far from Wincanton.

Got an old Honda 400 4 at the moment, but is near to giving up the ghost! Passed test last year and was given to me for free, so was using it until I found the right bike.

You will have to bear with me as new to both this forum thing and SV riding!

Can only get better.

Where are you to?

Re: Newbie in the SW!
 

I'm in Yeovil, just down the A303 from you. Another forum member "Viper" is in Bruton which isnt far from you either.

You'll soon get the hang of it, both the SV and the forum :D

Have no worries with the bike, comapred to my old one it is like a ferrari after having a mini!

Was riding around Bristol yesterday with a hugh grin on my face, the temptation to blast was unreal, but am a sensible lass (most of the time!).

Re: Newbie in the SW!
 

The SWS are a good bunch, you'll be welcome on all rideouts.

Just a thought. Which model, colour etc is the new SV. i.e. faired, pointy, curvy?

Re: Newbie in the SW!
 

lol sensible like the rest of us.. ;)

Hope you enjoy your new bike :p

Re: Newbie in the SW!
 

old style (not pointy prefer curves), blue, couple years old - do not make me be any more technical that that!

in fantastic nick which is why i fell head over heels for her.

who needs men while there are fantastic things like bikes around!....and chocolate......and speckled hen.......and the smell of freshly laid ashphalt.

Re: Newbie in the SW!
 

I take it if you were riding around Bristol, your getting your bike from Fowlers maybe ?

If you want stuff done on it. Pop along to V & J Suzuki in Mudford ( 30 minutes ride at max from you ) and tell them I sent you. I bought my GSXR from there and they've looked after that and my SV, they also look after my girlfriends SV and she bought her Duke from them, their chief mechnic Barry is a gem and they always do a great job on our bikes.

who needs women when there are such things as bikes, beer, the local chinese takeaway and xbox360's... ;)

I think we would get on just fine ha ha
