Default First proper ride out

Had my first proper ride out on saturday, me and my brother on his daytona 955 went over alston and over heartside - bloody brilliant road!

was great catching up to a couple groups ..getting right on them in the corners, but having to wait and be waved through - bloody restricted curvy!!


Are there many of you round the Durham area then? ..after a bit more practice i'll have to meet up with some of you

I loved it mate!
Going to ride to work a bit in the nicer weather too - won't save that much time, but it should be good for my clutch/throttle control

Do you meet up with many of the SV forum guys?

I'm from bishop mate - and it must be awful waiting if the weathers nice!

And no, he's called james - doesn't really go out with many other people so I doubt he'll be well known

I can vouch for that haha

glad your enjoying it too. My SV is my first bike (trained on ER6's) and I'm loving my SV. Only bad point is that it never wants to go home... and adds little loops around the town before it goes to bed.

Im in cramlington too.
