Here are the pictures I took of the North Wales 3.5 weekend.

For half of the group we met up with Pete 'n Lissa in Shrewsbury

Then it was off up to the Ponderosa for breakfast. Here are a few pictures of the bikes outside.

This is how proper photos are taken

The guys and girls outside in the wet having a cigarette.

We then went to the bunkhouse to dump any un-needed things. The bikes filled the courtyard.

The rather lumpy/bumpy and step track we had to go up and down.

Luckypants and Hovis watering the scenery.

The bikes lined up along the road side.

Girth on his great looking bike.

Followed by the really slow people at the back. ;)

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/th_STA70880.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/?action=view&current=STA70880.jpg) http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/th_STA70881.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/?action=view&current=STA70881.jpg)

The view from the road.

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/th_STA70884.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/?action=view&current=STA70884.jpg) http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/th_STA70885.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/?action=view&current=STA70885.jpg)

Then it was off for some much welcomed fuel.

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/th_STA70888.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/?action=view&current=STA70888.jpg) http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/th_STA70890.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/?action=view&current=STA70890.jpg)

Strechie then tests to see how strong the crash barrier is. Here are those pictures of his crash. Story of what happened can be found here: http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=110531

Strechie poses for the camera.

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/th_STA70892.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/?action=view&current=STA70892.jpg) http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/th_STA70893.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/?action=view&current=STA70893.jpg)

So while he's on the phone sorting out recovery, we thought it would be a great time to lunge.

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/th_STA70909.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/?action=view&current=STA70909.jpg)

A re-enactment of the crash.

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/th_STA70910.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/?action=view&current=STA70910.jpg)

We left Strechie and went on to our next fuel stop.

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/th_STA70916.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/?action=view&current=STA70916.jpg) http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/th_STA70919.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/?action=view&current=STA70919.jpg)

Another Lunge was in order.

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/th_STA70917.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/?action=view&current=STA70917.jpg) http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/th_STA70918.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/?action=view&current=STA70918.jpg)

Then it was off to one of the most amazing road for views that I've seen.

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/th_STA70921.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/?action=view&current=STA70921.jpg) http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/th_STA70920.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/?action=view&current=STA70920.jpg) http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/th_STA70923.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/?action=view&current=STA70923.jpg)

I feel the need for another lunge.

That was all the pictures I got of the day. The pictures I got this morning of the remaining bikes.

It was back to the Ponderosa for some more breakfast.

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/th_STA70944.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/?action=view&current=STA70944.jpg) http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/th_STA70945.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/?action=view&current=STA70945.jpg) http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/th_STA70947.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Seggons/North%20Wales%20Rideout/?action=view&current=STA70947.jpg)

Then to finish off the day, El Saxo does a final lunge.

Funny you should say that because I've sorted a bit which you star in. Although it's not directly of the riding, more of the confusion Luckypants created when pulling over at a fuel station.

Corrected. :)

If you delete the ? by Seggons you'll be spot on. :D

Perhaps you should pay attention to:-

a) the posted route
b) what had been said in the thread about first fuel stop
c) the briefing.

Which had no mention of fuel stops

b) what had been said in the thread about first fuel stopQuoted from: http://forums.sv650.org/showpost.php?p=1505037&postcount=399

"although for numpties we are passing through Ruthin so a fill up stop can be made (but the group wont wait)."

For people like me who didn't have a clue where place A was from place B this could have easily been the fuel stop where the group wasn't going to wait.

c) the briefing.IIRC the fuel stop was at about 100 miles. When we pulled into that station I had not got a clue how many miles we had covered. What I did know was fuel was starting to get a bit low in my tank. When I saw you in the petrol station I thought great, this is the fuel stop.

:D

20-05-08, 10:31 PM

True, but you would have had some idea where you were and that we were heading to drop off the luggage (which had been stated was in about 30 miles from Ponderosa)

Quoted from: http://forums.sv650.org/showpost.php?p=1505037&postcount=399

"although for numpties we are passing through Ruthin so a fill up stop can be made (but the group wont wait)."

For people like me who didn't have a clue where place A was from place B this could have easily been the fuel stop where the group wasn't going to wait. We had passed a big sign saying we were in Ruthin 13 miles back and the fact that we had travelled through 13 miles of countryside and one other village should have told you it was not Ruthin. The big sign at the entrance to the village with the petrol station that says 'CERRIGYDRUDION' is also a dead give away that we we were not in Ruthin

IIRC the fuel stop was at about 100 miles. When we pulled into that station I had not got a clue how many miles we had covered. What I did know was fuel was starting to get a bit low in my tank. When I saw you in the petrol station I thought great, this is the fuel stop.

:DJesus dude, hell of a difference between 25 (which we had done) and 100!! If you had followed the thread you would have seen that first petrol stop was Newtown. (again can be noted from big sign at entrance to built up area)

If you were low on fuel then you obviously had also not read the bit about arriving with your tank as full as possible.

I use photobucket and I use the image code, the last one of the URLs under the thumbnails. Photobucket automatically copies the url to your clipboard when you click on the box. Then just past it direct into your post and hay presto the photo will appear in your post. You can test it works using the preview button.

EDIT: is working with the new one you posted, using the image code gives this result, what you think?
