Full cooked breakfast Noggy, fancy missing that,,, :D





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.

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.

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???

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.

Does that mean youll be attending skippernick or will you be too busy boarding a tanker & demanding ransom money? ;)
