Default North Wales 3.5

Here are the pictures I took of the North Wales 3.5 weekend.

For half of the group we met up with Pete 'n Lissa in Shrewsbury



Then it was off up to the Ponderosa for breakfast. Here are a few pictures of the bikes outside.




This is how proper photos are taken



The guys and girls outside in the wet having a cigarette.



We then went to the bunkhouse to dump any un-needed things. The bikes filled the courtyard.



The rather lumpy/bumpy and step track we had to go up and down.



Luckypants and Hovis watering the scenery.



The bikes lined up along the road side.



Luckypants Viffer.



Girth on his great looking bike.



Followed by the really slow people at the back.



The view from the road.



Then it was off for some much welcomed fuel.



Strechie then tests to see how strong the crash barrier is. Here are those pictures of his crash. Story of what happened can be found here: http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=110531







Strechie poses for the camera.



So while he's on the phone sorting out recovery, we thought it would be a great time to lunge.



A re-enactment of the crash.



We left Strechie and went on to our next fuel stop.



Another Lunge was in order.



Then it was off to one of the most amazing road for views that I've seen.




I feel the need for another lunge.



That was all the pictures I got of the day. The pictures I got this morning of the remaining bikes.




Hovis'es luggage.



It was back to the Ponderosa for some more breakfast.




Then to finish off the day, El Saxo does a final lunge.
