History.
The Bandit and SV Riders Club began late 1999, early 2000, when it was originally called The Bandit Owners Club and started by Sarah & John at Banditmania in Lincoln. The Name changed again in 2002 to the Bandit and SV Owners Club when SV's were allowed to join. Due to the busy workload of Sarah at Banditmania, Sarah handed over the reigns to Adam Christie and the club changed its name to the Bandit & SV Riders Club in 2009. The £12 membership allows owners to attend the events that the club attends for FREE, but in return we ask for your bike to appear on the club stand.

Past Events.
The club has been regular attendees at the BMF shows with strong attendance at the Kelso show along with Ingleston Bike Show outside Edinburgh, however recently the club has been attending smaller events. For the past three years, the club has been guests of the "Durham Police Bikewise event" which is held at the Durham Police HQ at Aykley Heads. And also in 2010 the club attended the "Heart of England Bike Show" which is held at the Gaydon Heritage Centre off the M40 in Warwickshire. And some of our members have partaken in activities at the MCN Live at Skegness.
Our Media & Events Officer has via Media Accreditation for many years attended events and produced some great articles covering the NEC and other Events.
The Future.
We as a club have taken upon the World Wide Web and have moved on from the old days of sending out newsletters. Moving foward we have an active online forum where we share advice on technical problems and also we have a Facebook page, where we can advertise events. Which reaches a wider community of owners around the UK and also overseas.
Our Media & Events Officer is always looking for new events to attend. And of course applying for the Media Accreditation to produce the articles.
