Default Southampton SV's

Who are all the SV's i see every thursday when i go to Football in southampton. I always pass atleast 3 during my journey, usually like last night in Totton and on the Millbrook road, couple of weeks back there was 2 parked out side the pizza shop in Totton.

Any one here?

Not me - I usually go the other way - from Soton to Hedge End.

Ooh, it can't have been me then because I'm big on nodding. Having just passed I even still nod at learners. I nod at everything even cruisers, police riders, scooters, powered wheelchairs, BMW riders... I have no fear for nodding. I have even been known to nod across central reservations at a combined speed of 170mph.

No, not me. Just call me noddy.

What I am looking for however, is a local partner to show me how to ride. I've just come back from Wales which was my first big ride post test. I was sh*t and even fell off on my way through Bath trying to turn around. Pride and bike intact I rode on but never quite had fun unlike everybody else I saw/met. So E.D. if you are local, show us how it's done and maybe,... I'll show you how to nod.

Cheers

D.

I'd be happy to go riding with you sometime, not sure about showing you how it's done, though.
I can stay upright most of the time and can just about keep up with the rubber duck when he's going slow.

If you're going to the annual rideout, e.d. and I are riding up on the friday night, you're welcome to join us.

Thanks

Right, checked out the annual rideout thread and asked the wife for a day release ticket. So I will make the effort assuming 1) The bike is fit after super saturday overhaul session, 2) it is not stairodding.

Whether I am missing it or not I cannot make out what time to be at the little chef? I am guesing early?

I'm not sure about showing you how it's done i spend about 30% of my time sliding down the road on my ****, 30% recovering from injuries, 30% waiting for the bike to be repaired and only about 10% actualy riding.


But hey i could do with some nodding practice
