If anyone saw a red curvy doing 'light speed' (see 65 in the wet) along the 'brad bypass, t'was me! *insert huge smile here*

I spend the morning and most of the afternoon changing the spark plugs, checking the air filter, changing the oil. adjusting the chain slack and making sure all the nuts where to the right torque.

As a reward I took Suzi for some fuel (I got p*ssed on,) but, was still great fun.

Been out again today, went from Ystrad Mynach to Rumney then to Merthyr Tydfil before heading back down the A472 and A469 to Ystrad.

Was good, about 30 mile trip, Suzi ran well, no funny sounds or wobbles.

Can't wait now for tomorrow evening to go riding again

Well, they have forcast it to be nice on Wednesday... Ha ha

You should be riding come rain or shine... I can't as Suzi has raicing tyres on and they are as near as damn slicks which leads to butt clenching over puddles, rofl

Been out for a third time today, went a bit futher (53 miles) and went to opposite way to yesterday over through Newport and through Usk, was nice is the warm sum (not so nice in the shade...)

Still, I took a photo when I stopped off on the A449 for a stretch.

Was quite a sight from the top of the mountain :thumleft:

If I knew I could pop in I would have...

I don't know how I get from where I am to where I was to Newbridge, I just know I did.

All I do is leave my house, go up the valley and just take what ever turning I feel like, I am not heading anywhere, just riding around enjoying Suzi

It was Bedlinog I road through, not Abertridw, but, looking at google maps I might do that route tomorrow after I have filled Suzi with fuel.

I road upto Fochriw and onto the A465 all the way to Abertawe today...
