View Full Version : sat 3rd nov mini-rideout?
pretty much the same as 2 weeks ago might add in west end cafe llandovery? which may result in a bit of a mystery tour, as im not 100% sure how to get there...... but i will use the force
so meet newport>abergavenny>brecon>1000 sheep road>home (about 2 hours with stops (80ish mile))
llandovery would probaly add another 2 hours?
if somone wants to do the google map thingy carry on(its not my bag)
twas a ****in freezing at 8.30 last time, although it did warm up after dinner. so 11ish start?
sounds great. Would be awesome..
you said that last time............ where were you?

If you fancy making it a bit longer I recommend the A483 from Llandovery to Builth Wells, cracking bit of road and no more than 20 mins ride if you don't get held up by slow moving wide loads.
Do you have an ETA for reaching the West End Cafe?

9:45 meet @ bassaleg
10:00 leave for aber
10:15 meet ollie at road side
~ maybe stop at aber / refuel
12:15 arrive west end cafe / llandovery
I'll be refueling at texaco, newport road 9:30 ish if you want to meet me there draper.
Don't mind altering the times to suit the bristol people if required, let me know
i will be there (there being the laybay in bassaleg)
will you?
yeah zombie can do, wait to see whether the other two will be joining
still bear in mind i am a noob, so i will probably burden the team

although im not sure if i want to be seen out with a red curvy (jokin again)
haha true, your Honda is abit of a beast, but the yeller curvy is clearly slightly better
yeah i think it's alright, bike was left uncovered in wolves from friday till tuesday, not a trouble starting. Had a quick spin today just to make sure batt topped up, again no probs.
I still might disconnect the alarm though, as you have the cyclone perhaps you could tell me whether this plug bit i have found would disconnect the thing safely (now i have calmed down don't want to smash it anymore :p)
The wiz isn't able to attend i am informed, so i will be at texaco at 9.30 if thats still the plan?

Last time we rode out I seem to remember; Nice twistys near Aber, you and I flat out through them, me thinking you knew the route, you thinking I was Beenz ( who knew the route ) we got to a T junction and didn't have a clue where to go, realised how close to crashing we'd just been, had to wait for the others to come and get us to show us the way. :)
where are you watching it>?
in the stadium
it was freezing
enzo was the best fight of the night
cardiff was caos could not get a taxi home

The amount of insects was amazing. Early november and I needed to clean the visor twice, even picked a live greenfly off of Vix neck warmer.

I might be up for a sat one again if i wasn't too shocking last time. Was thinking maybe having a couple of good rides by myself or the wiz said he'd be up for a little ride, to get me better round the corners... but time is of the essence with winter approaching!
also hovis, i was saying to chris that i liked your cbr, and he said that you got it for something ridiculously cheap? i really like that slightly oldschool sport style. It sounded pretty awsome too
