Rent out for financial gain.





Nice bike.

If you are looking at renting, check out this site

I typed in Barton Mills as suggested on houses with 3 bedrooms and a search area of around 5 miles, plenty of houses came up within you price bracket!!

Rob, as Weazlez mentioned, Snetterton is not far away from Mildenhall although its pretty dull. Rockingham is only 75 miles away, Brands Hatch is 85ish and Silverstone about 90. Donington Park, where they hold the MotoGP round is just over 100 miles away and there is a race school there (California superbike school also do Rockingham and Silverstone). See attached map, Bedford does not do bike days.

£1250 a month should rent you a decent property with garage depending where you stay of couse

Are you a Californian or are you returning home? I'm a Californian living in the northeast. Bit far from Suffolk but it's not a huge island. If your in the northeast drop by.

Sorry to resurrect an ancient thread, but this guy was right on the money.

I ended up selling the SV before I came over and brought with me a DRZ400sm. I'm now looking for another naked sv to explore this beautiful country.

Update! I finally found one I had to have. I will be picking it up soon.


I plan on adding a penske shock, traxxion drop-in emulators/springs/oil, new tires and frame sliders. After that I will probably start on the cosmetics.

See you all out there!
Rob

Congrats. I will be taking up my place in California one day

That's a nice bike. How are you enjoying the UK?

I love it here, except for the weather. Also living in East Anglia means lots of farms and muddy roads.

I'm anxious to explore further out, perhaps north to the highlands, west to less flat lands, and south to the Alps.

I would recognise that brick wall anywhere! Weatherleys offer no-nonsense prices and deals on their bikes - looks like a good 'un too

You've been really unlucky with the weather here in sunny East Anglia, as it's not been too nice this winter.

Ok, compared to California, it's never going to be as good, but this side of the country is normally the driest.

Last summer was an exception too!

Still we can only hope that this summer will be hot and sunny.

Don't forget your not too far from this years AR09 venue.
