Anyway,about that happy sounding club in Brighton you were going to take me to?

When I felt part - two defining moments.

First, when admin called me and suggested a drink. Can't rememberwhen it was...

Second, after I had my off in June 2004. I posted what had happened and along comes Richie, and I thought 'wow' - these people really do care.

Well Im not sure Im feeling part of the org, there is a couple of members that I msn now and again which is cool and I do think that in general everyone's is a friendly face. Im in Lincoln and it would be cool to have a ride out with people that dont think you have to have the latest cbr or yamaha R whatever to be a good rider and enjoy yourself!

I'm far too ugly, obnoxious and opinionated to be accepted as a regular

Actually, I felt a little closer to being a part of the group after a meet up at Foxes, and just after that when I made a few comments about "American built large capacity V-Twin cruiser style motorcycles" and got a fair bit of support in the tooing and froing that followed.

After a track day at Lydden in 2006, I turned up having ridden from Belgium that morning and never having met anyone before, and came away having had a fun day with all sorts of SVers feeling like I was in some small way part of the org (and still had a bloody long ride back to Belgium).

Can I answer this as a newbie?

Since I found you lovely people, I have felt very welcomed on your website and I hope to get to know you all better.

However the real test will be when any of you finally meet me, I have a tendency to put people off with my Pipe full of Old Holbourn, my constant flatulence and my glass eyes.
