Past few years seem to have been lacking biker bashes in s.Wales , we use to have quite a few including the Welsh bike show in Builth Wells , i know they still have the Beer bikes bash but have not seen much else locally , done Weston bike night few times ,Paignton big bike event weekend and Poole bike night ,done few runs to the Ace cafe (love the place but hate those roads) too much riding in crazy
traffic and bunged up roads , so are there any decent events coming up local-ish ?
-
I know the west wales bike show is in Carmarthen in a couple of weeks, I'll be going to that as its only down the road and should be a good day.

Im off the next few days, if anyone fancies a spin im up for it
If my bike passes it's MOT tomorrow morning that is!, it will though, it's a :faz
If im honest i prefer the ratio to be more in favour of the riding rather than the meeting if that makes sense, like i like a little bit of socialising along the way but it's just allot better riding in a pack & if i stop for too long then i lose my mojo :b
-
All being well we should be at the corner cafe,Llandovery Sunday am,,time? dont know yet.
-
My bike just failed its mot Bill & the parts ive ordered apparently take 4-5 days to ship,
I can only hope they come much sooner,fingers crossed
Or im screwed for meeting on sunday
-
Ride it anyway
-
So we will be leaving Leominster just after 9.30 am Sunday, be at Landovery cafe 10.15 ish.
see anyone there
Fazer 1000cc Fz1s gixxer750 and a kwak 1200(or 1400) perhaps

Well, I was just thinking the weather looks good for it. Originally I was going to go to the Oasis in Brecon and do a ride from there. If I get there early enough, I suppose I could push on to Llandovery though. Don't count on me, if I make it, all well and good but don't wait for me. Where you headed for a spin?
Ah, just got your last. Leominster would add quite a few miles to what already promises to be a long (but good) day. No, I'll stick with my original and hope I can catch up to you at Llandovery.

Seriously though im pissed off coz i havent been anywhere since scotland & i like a good chase & oh well im all miserable now & :'(
-
Sorry about your plight Noggy, but it's not forever :)
Slimwilly, what's your planned rideout from Llandovery in case I miss you? Gonna have to leave here 8am at latest, so hope you can drop a reply to this before then.
-
We are probably doing a loop from Leominster ,Brecon,Landovery,then Builth Wells,Crossgates and a44 back to Leominster, the other two with me are from Coventry so it will be a good run for them,
We will be at Llandovery at 10.10 or later for a bit of brekkie.
Noggy, pity that boyo, ah well , watch the BSB on the box
-
OOPS!!!!
Ian,misses has just rang me , Ian is ill..
So the other chap has suggested leave it for now,,
maybe next week,
Shit i was looking forward to taking them on there first trip into Wales.
Umm , what to do now!
Nickcrisp,,,,want to meet a bit nearer to you?
-
Oh, that's a bugger. I was hoping for a run to Wales to see what it would be like as a day trip from here. How about meet at Oasis, Brecon?
-
Haha,, Ian just rang , he is coming..
We will do as said,,
where is the Oasis?
we will look in there first
-
It's at the Eastern end of the town, bang on the A40 - big bus stop/car park. It's a little, permanent, stand-alone kiosk thingy easily seen from the road - there's usually some bikes there.
-
I know where the petrol station is ,just up from the big roundabout a40, Morrisons supermarket
-
Going from memory - when leaving the Oasis to go on A40 East, I turned left out of car park, then come to a set of lights, turn right - I think there's a garage on that junction, don't know about Morrisons. You can't miss the bus stop/car park and anyway, Brecon's only a small place - if you ask someone locally I'm sure they'll know. :)
-
OK, if he wants to go this way we will be there about 9.45 10 ish ok, and then onto Llandovery for 10.30
-
Well, I'm going to get going in a minute. . Call on a no. I can get back to you on if need be, in case I miss a call.
-
Have fun geezers,
Get some :faz pics
-
Well noggy, you missed a bute of a fried breakfast in Landovery,,you would of loved it,,uummmmm,yum yum
Was riding through Brecon Beacons national park and caught up with this bloke,,yellow Fazer 1000, followed him to the cafe , mirrored all his overtakes,especially the long line of touring bikes,,choppers etc,,followed him through the winding valleys.
Stopped at the cafe and i saw him start to phone someone,,,and ,,alas my phone rang,,it was Nick Crisp, lol

A couple of very tasty Fazers Gen1 and Gen2
Some nice big corners rode too, you could even change up in the corners to get a fast exit.
My mate Ian who was too ill to come has just texted me saying, "can't see you two having fun without me",lol yes we did :lol
-
I'll keep an eye on this thread in future coz if Nick can make it from there, I could make it from Trogadishu.

It's that place where the Black Hawk helicopter crashed, & everyone's on Khat!
Skipper if you're in Bristol i reckon you're probs about the same distance to Llandovery way as i am from Pembrokeshire.should get the tyres nice & warmed up by the time you got there.
-
Yeah, but don't worry if you get lost in "The Trog" cos we won't leave you behind! :lol
Took me about 2 1/2 hours to get from Brize Norton in Oxfordshire to Llandovery, including a coffee break at the Oasis café (Abergavenny, NOT Brecon, sorry Bill! :lol ) and getting stuck on a long stretch of dual carriageway behind a cop car who sat doggedly at 70mph, and 15 foccin' minutes to fuel up at Brecon due to dozy cage drivers :rolleyes
Took just a little more to get home from Llandrindod Wells, via Leominster & Worcester, A44 all the way to Stow, then Burford and home. Had plenty of time for a really good days riding once I got there too :)
Did a run thro Elan Valley after Slimwilly left for home, still got home for 6pm-ish.
-
Spent all afternoon riding round those exquisite Brecon roads, been down to visit my father in Hereford. I've got to say those roads are biking heaven.
-
Nice to meet you Nick,, glad you finished off with a good ride

Same to you Bill, we'll have to do it again sometime.
-
Hey foccers, i still dont have my bike back yet however that isnt stopping me dreaming about riding it.
Just a thought but would anyone fancy an excuse to a rideout to North Wales near Llanberis area????
I was thinking Zip World which is Europes longest zip line & is situated in a massive slate quarry, you get up to at least 85mph on the 1 mile long line which is faster than an FZ1 ;) , a fat foccer like me would probably get up to 100mph which is Fzs600 territory :eek .
It's a long way to go for a 2 minute event (thats what my missus says about the bedroom! :b ) but ldeal for a bike run,some of yous guys have a fair bit to travel so maybe even an overnight stay somewhere but that might in turn stop some coming ie finances, commitments etc.
What dyas reckon???
-
85 mph on a zip wire !!!! :eek
are you MAD , it sounds very dangerous,,i am not sure
-
Trogadishu, is the local name for Trowbridge.
Wiltshire's county town, but its a bit of a dive.
The film Black Hawk Down was based on events that occured in Mogadishu in Somalia.
