If you see a black Sprint ST looking lost in North Wales between now & Sunday night, then give me a wave!

Heading off shortly from Southampton to Llanberis, will be spending the weekend there and hopefully enjoying a few of your finest roads - will also be joined by Quiffer tomorrow, think we are going to meet at Betws Y Coed at around 11 and then head out somewhere!

Will try and get through the weekend without getting too wet, and without a nice letter from Mr Brunstrom

Matt was great to meet you and your better half, we had a cracking day out. I'm glad the weather held for us, might have been a tad miserable in the wet.

Now we just need Quiff to sort out those photos

I thought you were always bl00dy miserable, regardless of the weather.

Awesome day, many thanks to Luckypants & Speedy Claire for joining us and showing us some cracking roads (and giving us a few laughs) - no idea where we went though!

After you left us at Betws on Saturday we had a great ride back over the pass in to Llanberis, pretty quick and flowing, much easier in the daylight when it is not p1ssing down with rain

Left at about 12ish on Sunday as it was raining again Rode all the way down through Wales to Gloucester (via Knighton I think) - sun came out, no traffic, great roads - tyres were well scrubbed around the edges by the time I got home

In total 650 miles over the weekend, and 276 miles on Sunday - about 6 hours on the bike. Considering we were 2 up with luggage, the bike was perfect. Looking forward to a few longer trips now.

Unlike Quiff I do have lots of pictures, will add them to his (failed) thread tonight.

I apologise again for that But yes, I am known for being a grumpy git!

However, I am still grinning at the noise Quiff's Viffer was making as he flew past on the A4085! If mine makes a yaaaooooowwwwll like that on full chat then I am a very happy camper. You making the little chav wet himself by bouncing it on the limiter was making us laugh last night too.
