Hi, I found this site via the MV Forum as Radar had posted a review and linked to this site.
I started biking in 1976 with a Suzuki AP50, then at 17 bought a Ducati 250 Desmo, then at 19 a Ducati 900 MHR.
Sold that when I was 25 as needed the money to buy a house and get married. It was only supposed to be a short break, but didn’t get another bike until I was 40. That was an RVF400, lovely little bike, but after a year I traded it in for a new R6. Had that for 5 years, did a lot of track days on it and had a lot of fun. Then financial constraints (fourth child and new house) meant that it had to go.
So after another break of a few years I got a Street Triple R. Brilliant bike, but on decided I wanted something with a bit of weather protection and luggage.
Test rode a few bikes, but fell in love with the MV Turismo Veloce 800, and picked mine up mid October.
Despite the weather, I’ve managed 1500 miles, including a couple of days in Wales to see in the new year accompanied by my eldest son on his V-Strom 650XT.Would like to meet up for rides in Oxfordshire/Gloucestershire.
Cheers, Neville
Welcome to the forum! You put me to shame I hae barely used my MV 1090 since picking it up late October…to scared to get it grubby.
There are some greet meets in the Glos area that Elissemo attends. Check out the 2015 meets in the Meetings section to get a flavour of them. Be good to get to some myself
Following the links in these links will help you explore the forum archive too that goes back a few years!

Welcome to the group! Good choice of steed – really enjoyed my test ride on a TV 800…
Gloucestershire (& Herefordshire/Worcestershire) has good mid-week pub meets from March onwards – I’ll keep the group notified. And we do the odd weekend jaunt into the Welsh hills; or up to Ludlow; or down to Tintern Abbey, etc…. Hoggin’ the Bridge, etc….
Doing a bit less over winter as our Forest lanes are a tad slippery with wet leaves, but still getting out most weekends….
Thanks for the welcome. Just found on another post instructions on how to load photos so here’s a few pics of the MV (and Strom) before, during and after the trip to Wales
Hi and welcome.
Flickr change their interface fairly often and now make you jump through hoops a little to share the photos. It’s not too difficult though and it’s a great resource.
Make sure the photo is publicly viewable. If it’s public it will appear in your ‘Photostream’.
Click on the sharing arrow (bottom right).
Select BB Code.
Select medium size (this helps your images to load more quickly).
Copy the code and paste it into your Bikemeet post.Any problems give us a shout.

Thanks, eventually worked out it was an issue with Microsoft Edge, the BB code would scroll of the screen before you could copy it, all OK with Chrome now
