New Bikers Rideout ??

I've had plenty of experience of riding in a group and would be happy to meet up with folk in the Midlands area for an informal rideout.

Couldnt agree more Pete - I was one of the newbies at Invasion (first rideout, passed 6 weeks before) and I think I learnt more on that day following people, and chatting to them than I have since I passed.

Mind you, it does put you in your place when you are riding at what you think is a spirited pace, and pete passes you,like you are stood still, and 2up to boot!!!

Hey. Im new to the forum. Does that count??

Boxhill area.

Sv650 K3s (brough last feb on 18,000mi now 30,000mi).

Definitely love to come to this!

Can get to anywhere - based in Cheltenham/Tewkesbury but can travel to anywhere!

Definitely one I'm interested in, in the South Yorkshire area if anyone is around these parts. All the people I hang around with normally don't ride sportsbikes, so I'm interested from both "capable group rider" and "numpty on sportsbike" fronts.

id def be up for the newbie ride out,i only passed in january got my bike in march not really had much bikin time,im in the west midlands, wednesbury area

Great idea Jelster. I'd be very interested in a newbie rideout. Riding since March 07, but only managed bout 1000 miles due to working away. I'm in Lancashire.

Sounds good to me, but only if its actually around the south east not the north west as it seems to be at the moment.

i've just seen this thread,

i would be well up for a rideout, i have some experience of group riding, i wet to brads wsb on teh second day of owning my SV, rode there with 8 other bikes, mainly thou''s.

and we often ride to ace in a group of 3-4.

i like riding in a group, you get some right looks!

any ideas when this may be happening then?

Just seen this one meself Done bit of group riding, well a few. It was the best way i found to improve my riding. I would be more than happy to play at the backas TEC. Riding on the N.Wales Rideout at the back when i was, was fun and got to sit back and relax. And learnt a bit about defensive riding.

I know there is a thread in East Anglian Revolution trying to sort a ride, if we could combine summit up into a bigger group maybe. Not a hoon but a nice steady pace, or even drop into groups. Want one more really before the season is out and have to start concentrating on careful winter riding.

Been riding since November last year covered 12k mind

I would really be interested just seen the post......

I started riding this year, got my cbt in May covered 2000 miles on the 125, just done another 600 on my SV before it goes in for it first service. I passed the test at the end of August this year.

Oh I got myself booked on a bike safe next month going from the ace cafe hopefully pick up some riding tips from the day

I live in North West London, but my folks live a bit further out so if we were gonna meet further out they I could crash there for the night.

Any way I got an SV650 Sport K6 Blue, and I have spent all money on my bike and gear so I'm now offically broke was going to go hoilday, that will have to be next year unless I do money hours of over time, the though of that though

Let me know if you guys do it, I will be there!
