I nearly got a new fleece today

My next door neighbour got his new toy today, chopped in his immaculate Bandit 600 for a Trumpet 955i, nice it is too. Wanting to try it out I took him to the MoFo playground over the bridge.

Phoned VB at Abergavenny, busy as usual, this geezer is just so popular. So we took a blat down the A40 towards Llandovery but turned off onto the A470 towards 'that' road to give the Trumpet a good shakedown. We stopped at the ice cream and burger place on the bend, VB joined us there later with a dirty bike.

1000 sheep road really did live up to its name. With neighbour and VB blating down the road we knew nothing that the sheep were plotting an ambush on the leading rider (me ) so I was hurtling down the road, a straight bit so I'm a tad quicker, when one of the little blighters just casually stepped into the road right in front of me, staggering back and fourth trying to get in my way, this chap should have a target tattooed on him he really was that good. God knows how I missed him, I had nearly everthing locked up and just managed to miss the little chap. It was really that close to wearing a new sheep on the front of the bike.

Thankfully VB had warned us on several times about the sheep with there stealth attack methods.

Oh and did I mention that VBs bike had a couple of flies on it today

Thanks Valleyboy for the offer of a cuppa, I could have done with one, but neighbour would have been hung by the wotsits though for getting back late to missus neighbour who was worrying about him all the time.

Sorry for not phoning everyone, it was a last minute blat.

The new Trumpet, the Beenz bike and the MoFo ice cream stop.


VB has flies on his bike and has got even taller

Another few weeks, and they wont be around that road anymore... sadly, that means the bad weather is here.. so unless your 'ard like me and willing to go out when its -2 degrees.. cos you dont like being stuck indoors! you miss the best time to go on it.... nice COLD DRY winters day.. and being on the Brecon Beacons.. I do mean COLD!

though thats not stopped most of us before.....



I hope you took note of the sheep that did hit their targets on the side of the road....

vb, anything catch your eye in thunderoad today??

I'll definitely be out when its colder, maybe not wearing my power ranger cow in favour of some warmer textile stuffs. HG here I come.

As for those that might have made the target, they might have just been sleeping or spying ready for unsuspecting bikers

I liked the SV thou... but decided not to go for it after what they offered for my bike they wanted me to stump up £1800 + my bike for a second hand SV1000S....

Hey I know that ice cream stop

looks like you guys had fun but dont believe that VB's bike was dirty the pics make it look pretty clean!!

I had several comments at Thunder Road that they didnt beleive it was a high mileage bike as it was so clean... still, they didnt offer me anywhere near enough for me to part with the bike....

[fizzwheel]

How much did they offer you for it ?

£2200.... which is £2K less than hat I paid for it exactly a year ago.....

[fizzwheel]

But doesnt it have twice as many miles on it now as it did a year ago... how does what they've offered you compare with parkers etc etc and comparable year and milleage bikes on biketrader...

Does the dealer in question know that you think the motor is f*cked ???
