First Small Taste of Touring :)

[Yamazer-92]

On monday I left to go on a mini tour of Wales for 5 days with my Dad and Brother. This was the first time either of us had gone away on the bikes properly for a period of time that involved sight seeing and doing some miles, so even though it was only from Devon to all over Wales I'm counting it as touring! Was really good fun though, some of the roads were absolutely amazing in Wales and the scenery in Snowdonia was fantastic. The Fazer was absolutely faultless as per and great fun to ride. Got 225 miles from my 2nd tank even with the old 18 litre one, plus was carrying my brother as pillion so can't complain with that! Carb balancing and TPS reset has really made a difference, was just so smooth.


The overall distance was about 725 miles in total with a break on wednesday to go up Snowdon, although it was in the clouds unfortunately so we didn't see a lot. Other than my ass and knees the Fazer was totally comfortable and did the journey with ease. I honestly can't bring myself to sell it even though I want a supermoto / trail bike, so my plan now is keep it and make it awesome and buy a crappy off road bike as spares or repair at some point to loon about on. I would really recommend Snowdonia National Park to anyone who hasn't done it, great roads and even better scenery. We're all really happy with the trip and I would definitely be up for something similar in the future, although if it was much further I would have to get something physically taller to stop my knees turning to dust. Another biking / life event ticked off the list for me
