Default BRECON

Wow, want scenery, want windy roads, want hairpin bends, want peace and quiet, but wanna stop off and meet lotsa people on bikes and have some good tucker??? Yes, you can get it all here.

Just follow signposts to Brecon, South Wales. Just 10 miles BEFORE Brecon you see a sharp bend to the right and just further right a mass of motorbikes and a burger van hanging over the edge of a valley. It's beautiful.

Storrey Arms is the bit at the top just before it winds down.... that corner where the burger van is quite good to do at 70 ish MPH.. as you crank the bike over and throw it the other way.. sometimes with 50 bikers watching you.. so dont come off..

should give me a shout next time your in that area.. I only live about 15 minutes away... not far from 1000 sheep road... :P

Was there two weeks ago on a Sunday and some guy (it wasn't you was it?) raced his m8 and came off his bike. The only thing he'd damaged was his pride!
