Had a FB message from the owner of my old SV, he'd just been to Wales on it. Sent me a nice video of it at a nice speed with the exhaust bellowing nicely!

GOTD: Its not my SV anymore

I recognise that stretch of road! It's the Tal-y-llyn to Cross Foxes road.

Lovely roads in great weather.
I'm going to miss visiting Shropshire once father in law's house is sold and we don't have as much cause to visit. I only did the journey a couple of times on the bike and its SO much nicer riding around there than it is down here.

Looks like you're not far from Mitchell's Fold Gary - I have a lovely photo of daughter Joan by one of the standing stones there.

Yep, not far away Trev. It's just over the border from here.

It's been 7 months to the day since I was last here. It was GREAT to be back.
