Left at 11-30am, Wrexham- Nant y Garth- Ruthin,(rendezvous with Trev on his FZ6) - Denbigh- St Asaph- Rhuddlan. Stopped at the Whistlestop Cafe ( HQ of the Whistlestop Motorcycle Club ) for dinner, Abergele- Colwyn Bay. We spent a couple of hours sitting on the prom, drinking coffee and eating teacakes. Police controlling traffic just before Llandegla on the way home. Debris on the road and at least two motorbikes being put on a recovery truck. Hope that there are no serious injuries.

I rode my FZS1000 617 miles back from Germany, all in one go and only stopping for fuel. I stepped off without any cramps or aches when I got home. Although right now I have a hissing in my ears from long stints of 120mph on the autobahns etc. (yes I do wear earplugs but they can only do so much)
Great fun and a great bike.

Are you on the original seat Simon?

Replaced the scabby scratched oil pump cover with a nice (cheap) new shiny one from evilbay. 10 minute job.

Then cleaned some of the dead beasties off the front plastics ready for the next rideout.

Gave all the plastics a polish and the black bits some back to black polish, nice and shineyer now, small run tomorrow hopefully.

Went on a 186 mile thrash into the lake district on the fz1. A Damn good day out, just got to clean her tomorra now. :-[

I let a mate posse on the bike so he could have photos of him a machine he dreams of having but needs to get his licence first. We were rather pissed after a night on the giggle juice

Met some Lambretta riders and headed to a cafe in Sheff then lost 25 of them as I went the oppersite direction from cafe and had no idea where they were going. How hard can it be to loose 25 Lambretta riders

Just home from weekend visit to mid-Wales. Fantastic ride down the A483 to Builth Wells then cut across minor roads to Painscastle, Hay on Wye, Hereford & Worcester. Met a bunch of guys at Tenbury Wells on way down yesterday & at bikers café @ Crossgates car park was full of bikes of every type. Good road surfaces Only downside was some poor guy got hit by a car today between Hay & Hereford-we didn't stop as there were people administering first aid and controlling traffic. Ride safe!

Cos I leave them on at least once a ride, LOL.
