Sunny St just, Cornwall (UK)

[andyw]

The wife and I are Visiting friends in St Just this week, Mon - Fri (she'll take the car so I'll be able to enjoy the ride down!!)

Wondered if there are any SV1K'ers in southern Cornwall who'd maybe like to meet up somewhere for a drink? Won't be able to do too many miles when down there as the missus isn't into longer rides and I'd just be pushing my luck too far to disappear off on my own!! If the weather keeps up maybe meet one evening at a pub with a garden.

Give me a ring on my mobile 0777 396 1692 - leave your phone number on the answerphone.

...just getting the thread back on the front page....................

[andyw]

....ready for the off in a minute...

[andyw]

Well, no one phoned me but had a great time anyway - maybe there are no SV1K's that far south?

Couple of photos......

[andyw]

Pic with St Michaels Mount, Marazion (couple of miles north of Penzance) in the background. Should have done the photos Monday or Tuesday in the glorious clear sky hot sunshine...typical!

[andyw]

Me and the missus...don't know why she looks cold as it wasn't....mind you she'd done a few miles on the back of the bike and wasn't that impressed with the comfort.

Readers of Bike magazine will know that Ben Miller has the SV1K as his longterm test bike...well small world or what...here's his kid brother who's mates with our friends' son and lives just across the road!! (surfer dude or what!)

That first pic of the bike is awesome Andy, even if i say so myself, those cans set it off lovely!(still jealous!)

But you let the side down!! Where is the Shirt???!!!

BTW, this makes a Thousand :)

Cheers :beer:

[andyw]

Thanx......don't worry mate I was in uniform, shirt was on just forgot to take the jacket off!

(BTW...very pleased with the shirt, nice fit and quality)

They have strange seagulls in St Michaels Mount or is it a UFO? :unsure:

[rjk]

Parasailing I believe...but where's the boat? :P

[andyw]

Kite surfer ...... crazy guy with small surfboard strapped to feet hanging on to kite wires for all he's worth somewhere behind us.

[andyw]

Oh...and a confession....I adjusted the colour of the sea and sky to give it a blue tinge instead of the rather dull grey it was really!!!! ;)

Andy......Explain the flourescant jacket ........Is it a cast off and Did Warren chuck it in with the shirt?...

[BJAM]

Were you both riding in jeans?

I wondered when someone would pick me up on that....why is there such a stigma about wearing these (don't bother answering...retorical question!). It was given to me 3.5 years ago and hung up in the garage unused ever since!.......must have reached that certain age where you start getting sensible (and/or recent close call might be a factor) so donned it for the first time....got me a wave from a copper on a bike!!

No, I always wear leathers but we've not found any leather jeans for the missus yet...always ride very sedately with her on board but no excuse, must get some for her.

In horse riding circles wearing yellow fluorescent jackets is a fashionable trend for the rider as well as your horse. Makes those dozy drivers see you a full second or two sooner but they still don't slow down or even make the effort to allow some room just in case. I have to say the most respectful drivers are those of motorbikes - every time.
