The way it should be at your age - only 4 yrs behind you and a different story - like a fool I started over again  .


Lofos rideout? Never been asked, invited or considered  .
To be honest, keep forgetting about the ride out section - will keep an eye on it Red 

[unfazed]

Red: know the feeling "owing nothing to anybody" great isn't it

Frosties: some fellows never get sense 

[dazza]

Calling Nick Crisp, how do you manage to put so many photos up?  I thought it was limited to 4 per post
Picture kinda related

oh yessssss.......there are some advantages to being "above average age"

Dazza, I guess he is not using "additional options" to add pics, he is just adding,pasteing links.

Nick great pic's, now where is that castle?, I see what you mean about on a cliff.

And the bridge,,not Menai?

[Hedgetrimmer]

Dazza, I use photobucket as the hosting site, so can post as many as I want.

The castle on the cliff top is Carreg Cennan, at the western end of the Brecon Beacons. The bridge is the Menai suspension bridge, seen from Anglesey. The 2nd castle is Beaumaris on Anglesey.

The highest pass in Wales is one I was tipped off to - turn off the A470 at Dinas Mawddwy, just south of Dolgellau. The road goes over the pass and brings you out near Bala. Only a single track road, no good for speed merchants, but great for scenery and peace and quiet.

The photo of my bike near the sharp bend with mountain range in the background is the B4391. Turn off the A4212 halfway along, between Bala and Trawsfynydd, and it takes you to Ffestiniog. A brilliant road that twists and winds it's way over and around the hills in the middle of nowhere. Quiet, empty, good surface (ish). No one up there.

I love roads like the 483 to Newtown, but if I stuck to those, I'd pretty soon lose my license, so I head for the mountain roads more now. No police, no traffic, and great scenery. I tried some new ones this time; some were good, others just turned out to be very narrow country tracks, bumpy, hemmed in by trees and hedges. Still a few more to explore yet 

[Dead Eye]

Nick, how many miles have you covered already on Hedgetrimmer 4?

[Hedgetrimmer]

Nick, how many miles have you covered already on Hedgetrimmer 4?

I rode this bike for the first time on 21st June. Since then, I have covered just short of 6000 miles, no commuting 

On this Wales trip, some numpty reset trip 2 by accident (who could that have been?  ), which I was planning to use to total the mileage on this trip, but reckon I did about 1000.

Oh, and this is  5 - never been in a hedge yet (yeah, I know, give it time  ), so technically, I am hedgetrimmer, not the bike 

In fact, mods, can I change my user name to hedgetrimmer? Might as well, never going to be allowed to forget it anyway   

[slimwilly]

What ever makes you happy,   nice pic's.

People do rides out. Track days. Touring to France.

I have dropped my bike in the garage today 

In my defence It was not full blown drop. It was more like gentle lowering it to rest offside. No drama.

Except me sitting there in disbelieve and smelling the petrol making nice little puddle on the floor. Because I just have been to the petrol station and filled the tank to the top 

To add to humiliation it was too close to the wall so I needed to call the neigbour with the R1 to come and help me to get it up 

Why oh Why?

Riding down the Pico de Veleta in the Sierra Nevada.

Apologies for the swearing at the idiot who sits on their brakes as I come up behind them (why?) and for the daft whistling (i was listening to some music).

[esetest]

Went to Fowlers , to get oil and filter , then came home and changed oil and filter .

Dropped the fecker on a diesel spill at the approach to a roundabout.
Actually it was late on Wednesday night but I've  been nursing bruises the size of dinner plates up till now.

[unfazed]

Took my American daughter in-laws sister on an Irish scenic tour of West Cork and Kerry today (210 Miles in total)
Including Irelands answer to the Alpine Passes 
What a change for her from the flat straight roads of Florida 

Great spin, faster I went the happier she was 

[esetest]

Washed and polished it .

[red98]

Rode the thou to the ace cafe for brekkie.....beat the rain home   

[Val]

Gave a way to a cyclist that got stuck in the middle of the road when trying to overtake a queue of cars on a traffic lights and the lights got green.

I've got back in the queue and slowed all them down so she can gets back safely on the left side.

She was shocked. Apprently not many bikes doing braaap are willing to do that 

[dazza]

Got geared up to go for a run but it started to rain so I went home and uploaded some video footage from my Wales trip with Slim and Nick Crisp.
Short clip of the run up to Llyn Clywedog Reservior. Was going to upload the clip from Crossgates to Newtown but at 17.47 you get a clear view of Mr Crisps reg number and ....well, I'm not grassing him up
