Re: Where to go this w/e Wales or the Lakes??
They do have random stops during the busy bike months, but you should be OK now. They are hot in Bala in the summer. If you get a tug then yes, done for load can and small plate - although on NW4 3 bikes were pulled with 'defects' and were just given advice. For defects read loud cans, number plates etc
My advice is to stick to 40 and 30 limits, ride safely and not give plod an excuse to pull you. |

Both me & Quiff have been done on different occasions. I was in Bala doing about 5 mph when I got pulled. I now stay well away from that part of Wales - as nice as it is.

Re: Where to go this w/e Wales or the Lakes??
I know this is a jinx for me but living in Bristol and being next to the bridge South Wales is our stomping ground and so far the worst incident we've had is a breakdown on the west cost (sproket came off ) and ValleyBoy taking wrong turns.
And we've done ALOOOOT of miles over there
