not long now lads..

The afternoon sun was just right today. You couldn't see if anything was behind you and that made for the more exciting ride. roads dried out just right and with the wife on the back and a new front tyre off we set. The modded collector and edd chip was all i needed to show myself that the bike has a big dollop of midrange with the wife on the back. SO front tyre truly scrubbed in and aforementioned additions tried out. All happy. Who needs spring 

Ride out Sunday morning up to Okehampton Steam Railway station. Big breakfast in the buffet car. Wasn't as cold as predicted  - too many layers - good to be out on the bike though.

Hose the bike off when I got home then a nice Guy Martin sized cuppa . Sundays are brilliant.

Parma violets - yuk!

Well I only went and drove down my favourite bike road today, now I'm super excited about spring coming!

I'm sure when it warms up a bit we can get the guys together for another day out round the Welsh highways.

We usually (well the first time) meet up at the Ponderosa and take it from there, but last time we started at Abergele and I showed them the scenic route to the Pondy instead.

And we always go slow and steady (ish) 'cos I'm old & slow anyway

Would you horrible lot stop talking about this riding nonsense....Riding does NOT legally start until at least late April.

Hello Kevin, yep it's the A470 between Blaenau and Betws, great when the weathers warmer, not great today with snow on the hills!! Still saw a Yoof on a 125 Ape though in Tshirt and no gloves coming into Blaenau.

I'm in Wrexham, Ian G is in Glan Conwy, and Ian has run some great tours over the years, which I joined in last year.
You're more than welcome to meet up, and if you're like us, we usually try and get out in the evenings when the summer comes, to miss the Micra brigade.

Definitely catch up soon!

for me.

Count me in as usual Ian. Bring on Denbeigh Moor!

LOL Kiwi, I have another rule to start riding, it's got to be 15 DegC, anything less and forget it

Yup

He was using it as a trackbike on our last foray,he did say he was thinking about moving it on to make way for a Mutleysrada/streetfighter project bike but I've not heard from him for a while so God knows what he's bought in the meantime.
