definitely a good ride, a few twitchy moments on the bends though, most noticeably the one bend with all the cow crap across the road( just after passing the bus) and that hairpin going up to the ice cream van above tower colliery, misread that one slightly and thought i was a gonna, lucky there was nothing coming down the hill at that mo :oops:

Yep, think we all had one of those moments with the cow poo in that corner... the Tower Colliery corner use to be brilliant, the road surface has gone crappy now... I use to bomb around there when I had my SV.... dont quite want to push my luck with this bike now though ;)
If they cut those little trees down, so you could see right round the thing, and re-surface it... I would then rate it amongst the ultimate bends.. anyone got a butter knife? :twisted:

All things considered it was a good day out.
Must do it again sometime

anyone got a chainsaw? :twisted:
Nope.. But we got a Haxsaw.. :lol:
Fantastic day mate.
Haxsaw and I left Abergavveni ?? And over the first roundabout and right at the second onto the and ended up at Raglan? We headed to the M4 and got a junction which was a 270 degree left turn. I got down further than I'd ever been before (I knew this because I was kacking it and thinking I was going to drop it but knew that if I stopped accelerating it WOULD drop) Then I heard the V-twin and Haxsaw overtook me around the outside, I could hear his peg on the floor and saw the dust fly up from the floor as he kept touching it down. Well done that lad 8) 8)
My mission is to grind the hero blobs off both my pegs this year. Anyone think they can tutor me in this fine art??

Nah but I can get my hands on an angle grinder and you can borrow that. I need to have a go at my knee sliders with it first though :oops: :lol: :wink:

Ha haa. Cheers mate, I'd probably put them on the wrong way round though
