Today's forum ride in Wales (with pics)

[aka_Gilo]

My man flu did cause some problems but I was using tear-offs on the inside of my visor so that when the phlegm became too much to see thoughuke, I simply ripped one off.

Nurse! Mind bleach!!

I must be blessed with these roads as see them as everyday roads. I drive to work from Abergavenny to Brecon every day and in a car it isn't half as much fun as on a bike. The cops aren't ever around though and there's only ever a speed van parked up in spaces which I know where to slow down at. Isn't it sad that the cops have to come out just on a Sunday when they know bikers are around.

I like to think I'm a safe car driver as well as a biker and yet they try and catch us out when we're just trying to kick back, relax and enjoy a hobby.

Thankyou for posting! It looks like a fine time was had by all. I like the fact that it got ya'll together outside the realm of 1's and 0's. Meeting outside of here shows your commitment to riding and the girls we love so much. (Tuono) Vedry nice, wish I could have been there.

[bay_1472]

Bay - Dave B and I made up for the earlier sensible behaviour by having a "spirited" ride back down the Usk Rd! :biggrin

 

[bay_1472]

Lucky buggers. If ure thinking of doing a seaside run there's always the ride down to Swansea on the roads we did yesterday and across the crai reservoir road. I think thtas the road Evlin took yesterday. Quite a nice road down past there and cracking scenery. Will take you on the upper chapel road next time fella

 

[aka_Gilo]

Will take you on the upper chapel road next time fella

My arse

 

[bay_1472]

What's wrong with that road it's a cool road and brings u out in Brecon just after cross gates

 

[aka_Gilo]

Lmao!!! I mis-read "take you" to mean "kick your arse" .......

Yeah, deffo up for that mate!

 

[bay_1472]

Ah no it's just a really good road
