Managed a pleasant little ride on the noggysaurusRX today......fog cleared at 12 to glorious warm sunshine.


Off i went..over the presselis-cardigan-aberporth.....went south to a tiny place in the sticks to see a guy about shot blasting my yzf swingarm....20 quid ish he said 8) ........35 ish quid to shot blast and powder coat 8) ..


Headed south again to Cenarth-Cilgerran-Cardigan so had looped back to Cardigan....stunning roads i dont often do.......then on the way back i went fishguard instead of the presselis before eventually back to haverfordwest.


Did about 90 miles i think....was lovely...all in my summer gear.


Wasnt much chance for a pic & the sun was always either in my eyes so i missed some good photo chances...or it was direct in the camera spoiling the image.......managed a token effort pic about 5 minutes from home....lion rock in the background......quite a big crag but looks small on the pic....sun setting to the West to the right of the pic so for once wasnt direct in the lens.

Bloody ell bobdog........that doesnt look standard whatever it is.....i love it 8)






Well 2 days in a row ive been out hooning.......in November!!!




Had one of the best rides ever & was only supposed to be nipping out......70 miles later :)




Absolutely ripped the tits off of the noggytrx through the cold morning air and quiet roads.....some more of east pembs/cardiganshire roads again........Haverfordwest-llandisillio-crymych-cardigan-egglsyrw-presselis & home........some thoroughly recommended roads for sure if anyone visits this way in future......between yesterdays and todays roads ive now got another cracking loop..........deadly serious at some points i was thinking "these are the best roads in the world" just the way the one splendid road led to another...and another...lovely views and not much traffic.

Oxfordshire, on the other hand, is shite  :(


Only about a month to go then will be up in a much better area for biking...just as winter closes in  :'(


Still, then I can get up in those fells and start learning about this DSLR thingy  :)

Sounds like your plans have come to fruition Nick. Good luck with the move & indeed with getting in the hills with some nice snowfall, hot soup , fresh air and rece missions for the best roads come summer time.

A 90 mile round trip on the XJ600 to The Cayley on the prom at Rhos on Sea. Very mild, mostly dry roads, little traffic. Saw many bikers out, many heading towards the Horseshoe Pass.

Dug the hard top out of the shed, sealed the rear screen with silicon and fitted it just before it started to bucket it down.

Fingers crossed the seal holds while it cures.

Changed the anifreeze while I was in the mood to mess about with the car
