Well i risked the weather and it was ok, a few spots of rain here and there,damp patches on the road but generally ok.Went down to Thunder road motorcycles,Cwmbran
to have a nose, saw a few interesting things





There has been a honda display for two days

a very tasty BMW





some sort of honda, enlighten me please

a second hand FZ8


God the  FZs1 was nice to ride,i have put the 17 tooth front back on so the front does not come up so much on acceleration, the pull makes the voices in my head say "more!more"
shit it's fast,power commander,k and n filter, blue flame end can seem to work harmoniously and sound amazing,so so pleased.
