Just saying Hi - SV650.org

Hello

I'm new to the forum so though i'd say hello

Only been riding since last Sept, my 1st bike was a Suzuki GS500 but i now ride a curvy SV650s which i have lowered a bit (3 inches).

I am based in teesside and am hoping to find some riding buddies - so if you're local and like rides out, gimme a shout.

Hello and welcome! I believe your regional group would be the Pennine Massive (altho it covers a big area so many of us won't be "local"

).

3" lowered? is that about as low as it will go?

When i got my bike i had about 1 1/2 inch taken out of the seat then a few weeks ago i changed the suspension linkages and dropped the folks abit which gave me an extra 1 1/2 inch.

I'm now almost flat footed, which on uneven ground means it's alot easier for me when manovering

I have a little look at the Pennine Massive - it does cover a big area doesn't it! i better the meetings are hugh

no cos they won't come out when it rains. Which it does. A lot.

There's only 2 meets that I know of - Rivington Barn (tuesdays) for the lancs/manchester lot and Squires (wednesdays) for the yorkshire bunch.

Hello and welcome. If you wanna get out and ride with a bnch of SV then make sure you have a look at our AR threads and get yourself along.
The ride is designed for all capabalities of riders too so dont think you'll be out of your depth in any way.

Thanks for such a nice welcome everyone, what a friendly bunch

Spiderman - the annual rideout looks great but its a bit far for me, maybe next year as i might be able to get some holidays from work.

I have had a look at the Pennine Massive stuff though, which is a bit closer to home.
