Brilliant...you looked well in control and got a move on without going stupid ! ...its realy hard though to hold back a bit and not mix it too much with other riders who may know the roads better and you don't know their riding style isn't it ?

Peter I am shocked and dissappointed that you rode past my back door (pretty much) and did not invite me out to play. :smt013 ;)

nice lines on the first vid, obviously had some advanced training? You risked full tilt past several speed van locations though lol!

Second vid took in a section of the Day 1 ride from last N. Wales rideout.

Looks like you had a good day for it Pete. :D

None of us had ever ridden those roads before! I drove some of them on my advanced car course, but that was 3 years ago. In the first vid, I trust that bloke entirely! In the second, I was quite happy to just get good shots of the lads on the 600RR and Blade. Was no effort whatsoever to keep up! Strike one to the SV!
Ironically, the lad on the600RR came off later in the day and may never walk again. Shattered femur and no feeling or control in his foot. Nerve graft needed.

Nah is no where near where Kwak came off. In the second vid where they turn off down hill at a junction with a phone box is where we did the first re-group on Saturday. Just Kwak said 'nice roads', I meant he had ridden them last week.

Just been up there scrubbing in new rear. :D Just normal bimble pace has it scrubbed almost to the edges. I love living round here. :D
