I don't think we're the insane ones.

Bring the missus on the pillion seat, both sleep in Pete's Eats. Job jobbed.

Ok, first of all ... my bike is still being repaired after me forgetting to put oil in it so when I get my bike back, I want to ride it as much as possible :P (reminds me, have you put "oil stops" on route? :P LOL)

Secondly, my missus has ridden pillion only once ... anything more than 30mph and she was screaming like a banshee for me to slow down ... and ... she tries to stay as UPRIGHT as possible (even in bends) which doesn't just unsettle the bike ... it unsettles ME! So we both agreed after that it would never happen again LOL

Besides, with my track record (2 offs in 9 months) it probably doesn't instill her with that much confidence

Cheers,
Pete

No, the carrying of waterproofs ensures it doesn't rain.
No one is allowed to bring sunglasses or dark visors

What about the Caberg flip down tint?

No, I mean you'll be riding in Wales.

You get a choice. Either bright sunshine & lovely views, or rain so heavy that even the fish complain about getting wet!

I had a nice 40mph ride home yesterday in an NSL, and I could only just see. I've been out on the bike before now doing 10mph & struggling to see as far as the speedo!!

Odds are, with the current weather, we should be due some clear skies, but if you're travelling a fair distance, don't forget to bring waterproof's with you, or sod's law state's you'll regret not listening to the warnings.

I'll update the OP with the weather forecast closer to the time, but you might as well ignore that because of the nature of weather in Snowdonia. I quite regularly ride with the sun visor down, then up when it rains, then down as you come away from the bunched up clouds, then up again, down, up, down... you get the point. The weather can change quickly here.

Hi All ,

Cheers Steve

That's 12 beds. 8 in the 1 room and 2 private twins. Cost for the flat is £110. So if 10 peeps stay it's £11.

Breakfast isn't included but it's cheap enough to eat at the cafe anyway.

If there are more than two couples wishing to come then the ladies could all share the private rooms and the guys the dorm.

There are spaces available on the Friday too.

So who wants a bunk? Let me know quickly as I've only held the flat for a week.

Ok, so now there's Pete, myself, Dave, Dave, Stu, Stu, Stu and Steve.

Consider yourself booked, Steve.................and Thank God you're not another Pete, Dave or Stu
