You can guarantee that when the sun comes out & the bikers go out to play, North Wales Police will be there to spoil the fun. One reason I wont venture down that way, last time I did it cost me £60.
Good way of killing North Wales' tourist industry, the whole biking community should boycott the place, just to see how much money would be lost

Some of the community live in North Wales.

Personally, for the next few weeks, my bike will be used to commute back & forth to/from work. I'm pretty unlikely to see any cops, and when i do go out for a play, they're not likely to be looking so actively.

They can't keep it up for too long, otherwise folks will accuse them of not policing properly/efficiently & it'll get ugly in the media.

So why are they stopping bikes and not bikes and cars?

i see at least 4 trafpol T5s and a pan, surely north wales isn't THAT quiet on a bank holiday

those officers don't look like they skip meals either, lots of takeaways

all at the expense of NW taxpayers no doubt

Well we were warned...... http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=129354

Obviously the new layby on by the the Rhug farm shop (place we blocked up on the Barmouth run) is ideal for pulling bikes. This is the entire reason I stay away from the 'honeypot' routes. Targeting bikes in this way, just pulling them randomly for no reason smacks of discrimination.
