Yes the 44 is a must do fast road but these are equally enjoyable going slow.
However it is crazy to go all the way to Newport without nipping into south wales superbikes showroom :b , ill chuck my kit in the boot i case i blag a test ride on an MT09 or anything really.
I'll hope to get more Welsh pics next week to let everyone see what they need to come see. 8)
The little mountain roads are often my favourites - a different kind of riding, slower, more technical, and often where the best scenery is. That's the trouble with doing the fast stuff - you get so committed, you don't want to stop for the scenery! Will have to check that one out sometime - ta for the tip :thumbup
Test riding? Being back on the :faz again hasn't stopped you hankering for something else then? Hmmm, thought it really was just winter blues, but looks like you might need to upgrade - lovely FZ1 for sale at the mo in For Sale & Wanted - everything done to it that you could wish for, shiny, shiny machine, only£4.2k, much cheaper than buying new, have a look, have a think, you know it makes sense! :b
