Wow what a great weekend.

Went to my mate Parents who live just outside Oswestry. What a great weekend of riding we had. For a start the sun shone all weekend, which is a first for me in WalesJ.

Saturdays route was up to the Ponderosa for brekkie then to Ruthin, down past Bala lake, down to Dolgellau, from there down to Abber on the A493 (great road )via Tywyn and Macyhlleth. Down to Abber on the A478 for a lunch stop in the sun by the sea front.

Out on the amazing A44 those on NW3 ans 3.5 will remember the twisty bits, well trust me in the dry hot tarmac those corners can be taken at stupid speeds with extreme lean angles JJJ left my mate on his Thunderace standing in the corners.

Up to Newtown and Welshpool on the fast roads, Put it this way If there were any police on that road, me and my mate would now be spending some time in her majestyâ€™s prisons to contemplate our decision to go as quick as we did, 3 figure speedâ€™s all the way home!!:cool: :cool: Now some people will knock me for saying that, telling me its not big nor clever, but oh it was and it was so much fun!!!

I will put some pics up in the photo Section (with a link from here) once I have extracted them from my camera!! But what a days riding. By far the best day I have ever had on my bike so far!!!

How rude! Was fetching bike from dealer and probably passed you in the opposite direction while scrubbing in my new tyre, so you are forgiven - barely.

Sory mate, i did contemplate giving you a bell to join us. But i havent seen my mate for a while and we haddent ridden together for almost 2 years. He has only just got a bike again ( 2 months ago) after almost 2 years without one.

Re: Neio79 does NW!

Glad you had a good weekend. Your ride sounds a litte more adventurous than mine! i did get up to 45 mph this weekend though wohoo!
