Went for a Ride 28th April

[Luckypants]

Went for a trip out yesterday to try my new gel seat. About 250 miles was covered to Aberystwyth and back, going the scenic route. Got a little lost at one point.... :smt053

Took me camera and most of the photos came out! Didn't take many cos I was ridin'...... but here are a few.

Great pictures, looks very nice in that part of the world! I wish I lived nearer open spaces like that so I could go for an interesting, fun ride.

Your SV is very nice too, what exhausts are they? Are they road legal (removable baffles)?

BTW somethig wrong with your numberplate, its grey and pixelated!

Those zorsts make such a terrific noice - loud but not excessively so, more of a deep rumble. Really really cool:cool:

Mike - do you need to ride 250miles to test out your seat?

Was a great day out Ed. I did about 30 more than planned cos I went the wrong way in Newtown..... I wanted a biggish day to test my new seat to see what difference it made. Will be some 400+ mile days in France, so am 'in training' too.

I know that tanat valley road like the back of my hand mate, my dad had a holiday caravan in llangynog for years, really nice area for anyone who wants a scenic ride out.

[sinbad]

Such a great and beautiful part of the country (GB). Used to be over that way very often as a youth, only 5 or 6 years ago my folks had a holiday place near Aberystwyth. I've driven there quite a lot but not yet had the chance to do it on 2 wheels. I'll have to put that right ASAP, the roads are amazing and the surfaces seem to be infinitely better than in the majority of the UK.

Mike-

I would love come over your way and pop for a ride with you.. deffo sometime

Me bum was nice and comfy mate! Feels hard to start with, but it feels OK after about 10 minutes. (I just know K will be along with a 'fnarr' in a moment....) Got no bum ache at all in 4 hours odd of riding. Me old knees were creaking a bit at the end mind.

Quiff (and anyone else) welcome anytime. Not sure about that last bit though..:confused:

[Quiff Wichard]

Quiff, get your rear along to the Wales ride at the end of May :thumbsup:

PS. I don't mind if you want to bring your front wheel along too. :p

EDIT: Sinbad, same applies to you :)
