Well us Sunday bikers (dry Sundays) haha :lol  might get a bit more biking done if the forcast is to be believed.


Actually last Sunday i was busy but there were loads of bikes out here making for the Welsh heaven.


I was out at motherinlaws mowing, heard some bikes coming and watched, 4 sit ups in a row, be it Fazers,street triples etc, i am noticing a high percentage of retro style bikes, standard bars, seen alot of them BMW 800 things too, very popular.


You seen anything unusual?

Our little gang did Wales today - impromptu day off work and 11 hours on the bike. Was nice - 5:30 start bit dark and foggy, but North Wales came up trumps with a bit of sun and stunning roads.

We were a FZS600 (me), a VFR 800, a FZ8 and a ZZR1400.

Its a nice trip up the Hill, i have an Auntie who lives up there, its about twenty miles away, just right for a spin and a cup of tea and some home made apple pie.


I had to negotiate a line of tractors, i mean Harleys riding in convoy ;) , they were only doing about 45mph, cars behind them too,, i frightened some of them as i passed them,
