Hi from a new member - SV650.org

hi,

my name is Alastair and I am 20. I am an engineering student based at Exeter and when I am not at uni I live near Bristol.

I have been driving a car since I was 17 and recently I have been out on the back of two of my friends bikes, one Honda CBR600 from back home and one Triumph Sprint down here in Exeter. On the CBR we went around Somerset and Cheddar gorge and I knew it was fun in a car but it was terrifying on the back of a bike, but i loved every minute of it! And on the Sprint the roads around Dartmoor were just amazing on a sunny spring day

Since going on their bikes I have become addicted to being on a bike and have decided this summer after I turn 21 I am to learn to ride a bike and end up with a SV650 if all goes to plan.

In my free time I am also a photographer who is passionate about military aviation and equestrian activities there are some pictures on my website (link below) and I also enjoy outdoor activities such as mountaineering and downhill biking.

I mentioned that I am a photographer and hope that giving links to my site is allowed, my website is http://www.masterplan-photography.co.uk/ and there are pictures from the last two rides I went out on http://www.masterplan-photography.co...iking-somerset and http://www.masterplan-photography.co...iking-dartmoor

I hope to meet some of you this summer on my bike if all goes to plan

yea, I think I know who I am going to go with, had a long chat with them earlier about costs and duration etc and there seem to be good reviews about them online

Oh how I'd like to have Cornwall on the doorstep in the summer. Good luck with the training. Get yourself some good kit before you go.

Hi and welcome

Some great pictures on there. I think I need to visit Loch Nah-Achlaise some time

Oh and find out if they do a zero-to-hero course and compare the price with just plain direct access if thats what you're going with. If you have to retake the mod 1 or 2 course you could find yourself spending an extra £200+ each time.
