    Kiwi riding in England

    Hello to all ,

    I'm Kiwi born but have spent a large number of years in London England. I have an K3 SV1000S which I have had for 2 years and had made very little changes to it until I chucked it down the road at Brands Hatch ( ) .

    Anyway, good to find a Kiwi bike site and when I get home in December it wil be good to know about any rides where I could ride the old mans bike and have some fun

    If you are over here and have a chance I would do Silverstone before Brands But each to their own and others would say different.

    Silverstone is a great track

    I'm the fat guy on the right The guy on the left is a mate that rides an RSV Factory that kicks all over my SV . But my bike cost just under 4K with 3K on the clock and his was over 10K. But if I had the money I'd have an RSV Factory

    Nice bike - thought I recognised the 'ring in the first photo - done it a few times in a car, but never on a bike

    Better to keep quiet and have people think you're stupid than open your mouth and prove it!
