    lovely weather etc...etc but FFS !!!! the roads are awash with .......
    1. labotamisted tourists who will not ever check their mirrors or think about the serious gravity of there next move . i.e 3 point turn 50 m after blind bend.
    2. Foolish sports bike riders trying there hardest to be fast .......but all they acheive is shite agressive riding, poor lines .....and sadly the inevitable.

    THE ABOVE DO NOT MIX

    If you want to ride in a brisk fashion do it when the traffic in national park / beauty spots is at its minimum .......NOT ON A F**** sunny bank holiday:mad:
    All you are doing is giving us bikers a bad name and more importantly
    ..................missing the whole point of riding briskly on fantastic roads.
    OR AS I FEAR you just want to pose!!!!
    Yes I am guilty as charged, as are many of us .
    BUT SERIOUSLY early mornings before 8.30 and evenings after seven are the ONLY times at weekends when you have a remote hope of stringing together a few corners at anything like an exiting or MORE TO THE POINT AN EDUCATING OR ENLIGHTENING SPEED

    I'm also leaving keys alone this weekend - tough one as friends went to Bala Lake for a brew and it looked lovely but know its just not the weekend.

    Mid week out of holiday season is great time for day in Wales - have done that before now, head over early doors and grab a breakfast on arrival.

    One mate would be up at 05:00, then home by lunchtime to get a few good hours in before traffic builds up.

    Well I had a lovely ride out yesterday except for the A5 near Llangollen (busy and solid white lines), however living here in North Wales all my life I know what roads to go on in these "Bank Holiday Mayhem" times :)

    Easy to dodge the traffic and use great roads isn't it. Yesterday's run went from Abergele, llanfair, Denbigh moors, evo triangle, a bit of A5, Llangollen, Ruthin and back to sunny rhyl. Really enjoyed my first run out on the fireblade and very impressed with how good it is.........I love this bike.
