Default Northamptonshire

Hey all,

just wondering if there's any fellow 'Northamptonshire' or local people out there?...would be nice to meet or just network with some other local bikers/sv riders for some ride outs or beers or both, Atm the only peeps i can get togetha with for rides etc is one of my m8's plus sum of my old mans m8's lol...no 1 else rides.

anyhow would be cool to just get a Northamptonshire thread going for a start...


All the best and ride safe, Chuky

I am from Northampton chuky. I don't really think there is any need for a Northampton only thread. There ain't that many of us. Plus when I go for a ride I don't usually tend to stay within Northamptonshire.

Keep an eye in the Madlanders section. There are rides most weekends usually starting within about 30miles of northampton so theres plenty to go on.

Bassetts pole on tuesday evening there is a good meet of orgers.

Hi Chuky.

Whereabouts in Northants are you? We're not far from the Northants border in Rugby. We tend to like to go out early and stay out all day, so if that appeals you are welcome to join us some time.

We are usually found in the company of Britney aka Mr Speirs, who is also Northants.

Welford, well you're not far from Midland Superbikes at Market Harborough. We often go over there for a burger or start of run.

Me and the previously posting Lissa are an item, although there are a few other Rugbyites on here. We just lurk on the site most of the day and watch everything!

I'm just a bit further down the road in Nuneaton, and "The Madlanders" section a bit further down in the forums (here - http://forums.sv650.org/forumdisplay.php?f=126 )
