Default Map of members

Hey was just reading the "how about we make an effort this year?" thread and wat stu said

Quote:
Have you tried a user map like the TV section? so that you know who you're members are and where's close if people are sying too far. For a new section the TV lot seem really active. (or maybe that's why they are active )
i think it would be a good idea to know who is around your area so that we can easily message people for rides especially if people arent wanting to go a long way for a ride and it'll make it easier to meet others

There are one or two in this neck of the woods, and we like to get out and about every weekend if we can. There are several who are quite happy to travel a bit to do a rideout though, so hopefully you'll have plenty of choices of people to ride with. When will you have your bike here?

The groups are fairly fluid, OG. We do stuff with several sections, being here in the middle means we're pretty spoiled for choice

Lissa, collecting bike Sunday morning, all being well, then careful ride back since it has been quite some time since I did any miles (excluding the test last week, Friday 13th, always thought that was a good day....)
Guess incl. the course have only done 60 miles in 24 years, have some catching up to do.

I bet you are really excited then. You won't sleep on Saturday night

I think you'll love the SV. They are stonking bikes, and curvy's are the best, of course

I'm sure you'll get used to it no problem. Have you ridden V twins before?

Lissa, only bike I ever had was a Yamaha YB100 which I used for going to work many years ago...... so simple answer is no.
No experience, only blind faith & trust in him upstairs.
Yep, looking forward to 1st impressions, as is my want have tried to read reviews etc. as much as possible & threads like on this site, SV's sound like they are either bullet proof, or riders are expert mechanics, don't seem to hear of very much trouble.
I am praying that mine will be reliable if not the fastest since I don't know where the batteries go into things like spanners & screwdrivers.
