Nice twisty roads, followed by the odd straight bit every once in a while..
please note furry critters on side of road.. this is empty compared to what it can get like!

Anyone with suggestions for free photo hosting ?? As my ones FUBARD right now... :cry: cant upload bugger all...

[Law]

I use photobucket.

I'll get Trading Standards on you. There's only a couple of sheep on that road!

Cool looking road though. Will have to ride it next time I'm in Wales, (next summer)

VB..I find Image shack pretty good fella. BTW where these snaps taken after the amorous contact or before? :wink: :)

[valleyboy]

More being uploaded as I type...

No PH.. no contact was made with these furry animals.. or should I say no sheep were harmed during the photographing :lol:

Bite the bullet and go Smugmug
:wink:

Nice pics btw. I do like that road.

[valleyboy]

I will go smugmug.. after I get paid next! :lol:

I wish they would resurface the road over the Rhigos... as you can see.. that bend looks rather inviting :twisted:

[Saint Matt]

Great pics mate, your bike is gorgeous :)

[K]

Very sweet looking road there - though you can tell it's South Wales...

... it's a bit, well, flat. :wink:

[Treacle]

Those roads look bleedin handsome VB. I could spend and day on little Jessie's like that. Nice one! O cracking bike to, the proper colour. :wink:

[DeanoN]

Nice pics VB, but to be fair I don't think any photo can do that road justice! It's awesome.

The photo of pen y fan, where was that taken from? Looks like we are going to do it this sunday if the weather holds out. :shock:

hehehe, thats why I took the photos in the errrr flatter part of South Wales.. I could go Brecon direction and take photos ;)


Dean.. the photos of Pen Y Fan were taken on top of the mountain near Rhigos... directly above Tower Colliery... very nice views from up there :D

[anna]

I agree with Deano photos just dont show THAT road off to the best but I guess it's difficult to take a picture of the start of that road with the shear drops on the side of the road!!

[Peter Henry]

VB...I love that first side pic of your bike. That is a must for the Kawasaki 2007 calendar mate. :wink: 8)

[Skip]

:shock: - wow, what amazing roads! You are so lucky to live near to them!

[Viney]

Nice twisty roads, followed by the odd straight bit every once in a while..
please note furry critters on side of road.. this is empty compared to what it can get like!

Tsk...Furry...Sheep have WOOL dont ewe know. Blardy Welsh ;)

[Baph]

Some nice roads them be. I have similar being north of VB. I just wish the roads around here enjoyed the open view that VB has.

I can't push nearly as hard as I'd like to for fear of running a sheep over at 50mph+ and seriously leant over :(

The only road that does have open views that I've found so far, probably has a worse surface than the second one you posted about VB :( (A543 for those in the know).

"Baa, run girls it's Valleyboy, baa" :lol:Er...they are horses, they go nayyyy, not baaaa :roll:

As for that hairpin type corner, been round that i have

[Law]

Yes I gathered that when I wrote it, but I don't let details get in the way of a good joke!

[Professor]

Quality photos. :thumbsup:

I found the B4407 an interesting road when I was up that way last year... going round a corner with a stone wall on the outside.. with a rather large sheer drop the other side.. makes you think twice about going fast around there! :lol:

Only ended up on that road, as I was staying by Capel Curig, and wanted to get to Tanygrisiau to visit a friend.... took a wrong turning somewhere... :lol:

[valleyboy]

As for that hairpin type corner, been round that i have

Sadly, the road condition has deteriorated in the past 2 years, was a cracking road when I had the SV, but there are so many bumps and dips in the tarmac now, you have to be suicidal to go round some of them fast.... that hairpin is an ideal knee down corner.. but if you stray off the correct line by an inch or so, it gets so bouncy, you will get both knees down while watching your bike go round without you! :lol:

[kwak zzr]

ive ridden most of mid and north wales and by the looks of those cracking pictures VB your area is now on my hit list! great pics :thumbsup:

[Richie]

Cracking photos grommit...

but I only counted 14 sheep then fell asleep... ( ha... no not worth it)

Lovely roads on brill scenery,
Taff I envy you.


but then again... we do have some great roads up here too...

[Ceri JC]

Great roads, ruined by sheep. Aside from Valleysboy's incident, I've had a (very) near miss with a sheep there. Also a lad I was riding with managed to kill a sheep and stay upright (trying to outdo my deer, I think) with his missus on the back! :lol:

[flynn209]

great shots...makes me realize how much i miss it over the pond...damn i need to get back

[_Stretchie_]

:cry:

Aww VEEB, I'm getting all misty eyed here. Ah the memories.

And I know about your bets you barstewards..... Fair play :lol:

I wanna be back on two wheels
