Hehe these made me chuckle i'm thinking of having a little run round north wales this saturday if you're interested? Nothing massive probably 120 miles or so starting from the Ponderosa

Oh and if you still aren't confident about finding Llangollen, I could collect you in Denbigh (assuming you can find your way there lol)

haha. I know how to get to Denbigh, i was there today in A&D motorcycles trying not to buy this stunning Repsol Fireblade they have lol.

Unfortunately, i don't think i'm riding on saturday as i'm going to the 30th anniversary do of Woods in Abergele, i'm desperate for a go on the wheelie machine haha

Give me a shout next time you're thinking of heading down this way and i'll definately come out for a ride

I don't know if they have been contacting people, but they're advertising it on their website and giving people little flyers when you go in, or they were when I went in a few weeks ago?

Looks like the sat will be quite good, "free BBQ" and wheelie machine sold it for me haha

Might see you Saturday then mate, getting new tyres fitted this evening (Michelin Pilot Road 3's) as current won't last for the GM week. So they'll need scrubbing in at some point. Won't be a quick day for me as will be taking it easy to get used to them but it shouldn't take much to beat the cruiser

Haha you'll think i'm lying but he's actually done trackdays on it cool mate, post up or send us a text on the day so I know you're coming should be there for 11ish to head out about half past

I know the feeling, the GM became £145 more expensive when I realised there was no way in hell the BT-023 on the back would make it there and back
