Where did you go?

I've been prepareing for a works trip in Germany, Only small bags can be taken on the flight, means a bigger one has to be checked. Been getting rid of my hangover from last night as well.

You should get ValleyBoy AKA VB to take you the Abergavenny A40 to Llandovery (good food at the cafe :thumbsup: ) then off to 1000 sheep road, don't ask me the name of it but VB can show you. It's a hoot!

Im not happy with my bike at the moment anyway.... would go slower than normal...

been thinking of changing bikes.. but cant afford to go for anything fancy.. so it may be back to an SV for me... or a Bandit 1200 :wink:

Have you taken it anywhere to be looked at yet?

Even if you have, can I suggest you get a second opinon from John at All About Bikes in Bristol. He's also got a few used bikes you might be interested in. Only thing is they don't open at weekends which would mean you taking a 1/2 day off. I finish early on a Friday so could meet you there, take you for a cuppa, and take you back.

Not this Friday though - we're off to Afan for the mountain biking isn't it.

good thinking John is a great guy and would also help sell your bike too if that is what you are thinking you may have more luck selling it in Bristol then in Wales as people can view/test ride it easer?
