[slimwilly]

Mid wales,Brecon,Llandovery ,Rhayader,Merthyr


Anyone out and about on Bank holiday Monday, or coming through to Wales from Brum, Worcs,?


I fancy a trip over them mountains, Aber perhaps

[noggythenog]

I'd love a good run


Im still on the same squared off dodgy tyres since last year so just been doing small local runs but the bike could do with a decent blast.


If you're still up for it then re post sunday night & maybe i could meet you in brecon, i dont know the area well so would be good to get shown some of the good roads, if you do go aber ( take it you mean aberystwyth not abergevenny ) then i could go back home via aber down the coast road.

Well i was gonna wear my leopard print cotton romper suit but in the interest of safety i'll be extremely well crammed into my black furygan leathers & on a silver Fzs600,only one in wales with blue radiator hoses may i add ,


Didnt realise that place got so busy, folk must be thirsty these days!

[noggythenog]

Hey Bill


Just a quick one to confirm im home safe n sound


Great day out with superb weather,thanks for having me along!

[slimwilly]

Aye Noggy, that was a brill ride, must of done a thousand bends and hairpins, awesome,


Eveb fish n chips at the seaside, oh how nice to be grown ups



Theres the three bikes which rode today on Aber prom.




And not forgetting my first Fokker salute with a fellow Fokker Noggythenog





And me by my trusty steed (dobbin)





Oh and we saw a rare yellow Fazer,how smart them Yellow ones look



Cheers for the company Noggy, until the next one mate


Billy

[noggythenog]

Ha ha well done gettin the pics up,


Im so glad i dont look like im about to give birth to the baby fazer jesus   [size=78%],[/size][size=78%]shit i feel more comfy wearing a wet suit than i do in those leathers & wearing the back protector, now i know how the hulk feels jus before he bursts through   his clothing[/size] [size=78%], time for another diet.[/size]


Hope glyn enjoyed himself, i wonder was he thrashing his R6 coz i certainly had to thrash my fazer to keep up at times, poor little thing does ok though even if it's dancing around at top revs.

[noggythenog]

Aberbikeswyth!!!

[noggythenog]

Ha ha, wee beastys!!!


Cant wait to get a real tyre, no more riding for me til i do!!!

[slimwilly]

Aye Noggy, we nearly got you off the edge of your tyre



I never thought of you on the six hunded screaming it, it was all calm up front on the thou

[noggythenog]

Twas an enjoyable run & i would go again, some fun overtaking & cornering whilst keeping top speed straight lining to an acceptable level plus keeping to limits in towns & villages, i didnt feel stressed by it put it that way, was hard work being on the slow bike & at the back, i had to make a few judgements when it got to my turn & the gaps were getting small.


All added to the fun though!

[slimwilly]

That is what has to be learnt on group rides, only overtake where YOU want to,even if its a few corners later than the bike infront of you,the lead bike will always know where the last headlight is or is not. To try to overtake all at the same time would be bad,very bad.
You certainly have to be nippy on overtakes on them welsh roads as the straights,if they are straight were very short at times,i enjoy slideing by them cars one at a time,we have a Sainsbury lorry and a bus on the winding road down to Lampeter,took some finding space to get by them.

[noggythenog]

Anyone in south wales fancying a blast tomorrow,earlier the better once the fog clears, doesnt have to be far.


Open to suggestions of any routes as i generally dont have a clue where im going  but like a dog always end up back home
