I phoned Fowlers today to get the price of a replacement nose fairing for my bike...

£446
:smt046

I think I'll be getting it repaired. Found a place in Nailsea that will collect and return the panel just over a week later. Given that the plan is to go back to "that place of doom" in early August I might wait until after that trip to get it done. Until then I'm going to colour code the duct tape :)

A whole bucket load of bad luck has come out of that one daytrip.

The Elan Valley is great, looks like a good route you have there. I do have a couple of suggestions for other roads you might consider in that area. Feel free to ignore me though because:
a) I won't be going!
b) I hardly ever post!

The B3458 from Newbridge-on-Wye to Beulah is a blast. A roller coaster piece of tarmac if ever there was one. It was featured in an Avon tyre advert in the early 90's and we used to hunt it out everytime we went to Rhayader. It has some amazing bits where the road just drops away and some great corner combinations with elevation change. Beware the 'tight corner' signs though...they mean it. There is even one on a blind crest just to keep you on your toes.

The B4519/4520 from Garth to Brecon is also great. Fantastic views, a smattering of sheep and some super bits of tarmac (some bad ones too but it's worth it).

Whatever route you use I hope you all have a good laugh and that there are no nmore machine failures.

So sorry Stretchie and VB! :(
