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. Smile

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

Theres him on his yellow peril.

Good ride today Noggy, proving Wales is well within a decent day ride for me, so will hopefully see you soon! Smile

You won't be off the road forever mate Wink

Re: Any biker meets coming up in S.Wales - slimwilly - 11-08-13

Full cooked breakfast Noggy, fancy missing that,,, Big Grin

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.

Re: Any biker meets coming up in S.Wales - nick crisp - 11-08-13

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 Smile

Did a run thro Elan Valley after Slimwilly left for home, still got home for 6pm-ish.

Re: Any biker meets coming up in S.Wales - dazza - 11-08-13

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.

Re: Any biker meets coming up in S.Wales - slimwilly - 11-08-13

Nice to meet you Nick,, glad you finished off with a good ride

Re: Any biker meets coming up in S.Wales - nick crisp - 11-08-13

Same to you Bill, we'll have to do it again sometime.

Re: Any biker meets coming up in S.Wales - noggythenog - 14-08-13

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 Wink

, 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???

Re: Any biker meets coming up in S.Wales - slimwilly - 15-08-13

85 mph on a zip wire !!!! :eek

are you MAD , it sounds very dangerous,,i am not sure

Re: Any biker meets coming up in S.Wales - Skippernick - 15-08-13

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.
