Would love to ride some of those roads again. I will someday, but don't think it'll be until I can afford to B&B it to avoid the midgie scourge inherent with camping there. Probably not next year, hopefully the year after (if I can get a passport  :lol ).

Meanwhile, how about some pics on your next little jaunt BBB?  Smile

Bought a new rear tyre from Russ in Horndean, then, to scrub it in, rode up to Box Hill and back :-)

120 miles. Llandudno and back via St Asaph, Llanrwst. Warm, sunny day, lots of bikers out. Unfortunately yet another biker hospitalised after a collision near Corwen. The ambulance passed me on the way home. This follows the death of a 55 year old biker last week on the same road, near Bryneglwys. A sad end to what was a nice day.

Finally got out for a spin after doing my airbox mod, new filter, blocking off the AIS.


I also fiddled around with adjustments on the gear linkage and increased the idle speed....& put my baffle back in.


Had a nice spin to the beach where i bumped into a couple of crazy fools, 1 on a naked FZ1 & the other on some Aprillia race supermoto type thing that only got 40 miles to a tank of fuel :eek ....after a yatter they invited me along on a coastal spin which was good fun although they were on the back wheel allot & i haven't tried to master wheelies yet....was good fun until the FZ got a nail in his tyre and they were off for a kebab anyway so i peeled off and headed home.


Bike was faultless throughout and sounds awesome with the K&N at circa 5k revs.


Cleansed my sould nicely. 8)

That was a long day! Left home at 8:30 this morning, didn't get back til 9:30 this evening. Had a ride down to Exmoor, took the coast road from Minehead to Lynmouth, and snapped some views of Exmoor:

And a couple of snaps of the coastline on the descent to Lynmouth:

Covered a fair few miles around the moors too, Exe Valley, Bampton to Minehead, Minehead to Lynmouth (twice!), and generally just followed my nose with no set route. 397 miles covered today  Smile
