Fed up with sitting around the house I got off my arse and decided to go for a ride I headed for Craig y Nos castle and country park as I wanted to get an aerial shot of the castle, a bit drizzly on the way but very mild and no wind at all, up the Upper Tawe Valley (A4067) to the castle, parked up, set up the drone, launched it just to hear a "jobs worth twat" shout "Oi, you can't fly drones here", muppet, damned thing weighs 250 grams it's not like the old days with giant octocopters carrying full size DSLR's, anyway I had to oblige and fuck off, but grabbed a shot of the pond first So anyway, no point in arguing with civil servants, I'll just go back and get my pics from an adjacent field, people don't have the right to the air space above their property, otherwise you could ban British Airways Off and up over the mountain on the A4067 past Crai Reservoir, I can see the clouds are low on the top of the mountains to the west, I hadn't factored in that I'd be riding through there later DOH! Down the other side and through Defynnog and into Sennybridge for a stop at the garage and cafe There were for trail bikes outside, one KTM, an Aprilia Trail (like my old one) and two Royal Enfield Himalayans Went inside, joined the queue to order some brekies and went to sit at a table on my own, the lady behind the counter said "oh I thought you was with those guys next to you, "Nooooo" I said, "they've got 4 dirt bikes all with road tyres on", needless to say they didn't say much to me after that :), especially when one asked "what are you riding?", "my scotter" said I, "but it's seen more dirt trails than those four" Oooh, brekies arrived with a nice pot of tea Filled up with fuel at bloody £1.45 per litre then headed off on the A40 towards Llandovery, had to stop on the way to admire the autumn colours, the pic doesn't do it justice Passed by the West End Cafe and on to the Owl's nest to see who was there, only two bikers, nice old boys on NC750's, didn't stop there as their prices are a rip-off Time to head towards home over the Black Mountain, stunning road all the way (A4069), was often used by Top Gear and other in their programs, however as I started to head up it got very rough very quickly, riding through the cloud and winds got up pretty high too, slowed me right down to a crawl in places and couldn't see more than 60ft ahead Headed off from the car park higher into the cloud and as it levelled out I spotted two other nutters in the cloud with me Dropping down the other side towards home and it was boring towns the rest of the way after this:

I like the trials bikes but always found myself trail riding with them rather than actually doing trials sections, so went back to trail bikes. I don't have many photos of my trials bikes or me on them these are about all i have

Must be Juan Sheet

Some one trying to sell me a car , I don’t want it … he’s asking what it worth so he can sell it … wonder if I could have a deal with some bedding

I don't understand why someone wouldn't want to do that No such thing as the wrong weather, just the wrong clothing. It's about scenery, adventure and kudos Yes, camping and eating tinned breakfast wears thin pretty quickly but with experience you stop eating that shit, take the proper gear and cook up your own eggs and bacon They're riding through woodlands and terrain that dates back to the ice age, the feeling of being in places like that is unique, calming and inspiring

Just wondered down to Dawlish Warren today. Had a day off the bikes as all our clobber was still dripping wet from yesterdays journey to Newquay. No pictures though it was truly horrific my visor lets rain in and so did my waterproof boots Anyhoo we had a grey but dry day today and met a lovely man who was taking amazing pictures of a kingfisher. Lovely guy and has recommended a day of sightseeing which we will probably do on Saturday. Tomorrow we go for the bike and im so excited but also nervous !!! Just a couple of today but one reminded me of a certain Harley rider....

Last time I rode to North Wales I refused to take any main road, it was pissing down all the way and it took me 6 hours Coming back over the mountains in gale force winds was an interesting experience, bike at 25 degrees tilt (no kidding) and the rain coming up vertically into my helmet, shitting my pants getting thrown all over the road, they're memories and stories to tell later in life, I can't remember the rides where it was all pleasant and nothing interesting happened

We feel that way about you as well.

They committed to doing something on a certain date and felt obliged to stick to it. And they’re British, highly skilled in ignoring rain. Lost count of how many optimistic bbqs have gone ahead in the rain cos its “just a shower” or “only a bit of drizzle” and everyone pretends they’re not getting wet and cold

Amazing !!! The autumn colours are stunning here too but someone who shall remain nameless wont blinking stop for me to take pictures

I call this click bait... Not bitting

You're not such a fat cunt in those pics Fred?

now thats a look of concentration in that last one

It is me i don't remember giving anyone my permission to to make me famous Thanks @boboneleg good find Do you think you will be fit enough to attend next year. I've already paid for the Bruce Pollard rally on the Friday night and think i'll decide whether to go to the dragon when i wake up on Saturday

Well let me enlighten you, it is a retirement park with 339 homes on it, it has security barriers to stop twats cold calling and visiting without asking, we have running water electricity, and gas central heating, our own garden and parking bay, and we can go out whenever we want.

Well he's going to get Bull Sheet that's for sure!

You know what the answers here show? Basically we all ride bikes.......but what we enjoy doing on bikes is very different. This is what I've got against organised group rides.......you all go to some godforsaken place for no reason and no purpose. And it's one big race there and back, based on my experiences in the 70's. Might appeal to some, but not to everybody. Simply because you're riding somebody else's ride not your own. And you're riding at somebody else's pace not your own. It's no longer your ride! I've said it before, and I'll say it again, the best person I've found since the 70's in terms of a good fit for me to go riding with is @Renegade

there are lots in Portugal, big revival!

Winner winner chicken dinner

I’m surprised you are still riding now you ginger cunt.

I can't help it, ever since I got on a two stroke for the first time earlier this year, I have been lost to the dark side...

Proper characters!

Well put together vid of a guy and his mate going on a Camping trip! Wish I could do a vid as good as that! However, some things disturb me......a lot! * He's camping in Snowdonia in November! * It's pissing down! * It's freezing! * They leave the bikes at the side of the road, and then go walking across the countryside in miserable fucking weather! * The roads are wet, narrow, and covered in shit and slippery leaves! * They're riding Royal Enfields! * Then he says what great motorcycling that was! All this goes way over my head.......maybe someone can explain the attraction of this to me?

To be fair it didnt rain in Dawlish. We literally headed straight into it. We dont usually do that but Andy set his heart on seeing Newquay. We will go again one day.

Looks like a ratio of 100 rear tyres to 1 front? Did you ever wear a front tyre out?

Just all the paranoia around drone use and the media scare mongering, if the CAA have managed to come out with sensible regulations then people should follow but local authorities are always ten years behind the times It's ridiculous, apparently at the park you have to write to them, on the day you're going to fly the drone (if you ever go permission which is very unlikely) they will cone off the entire area with warning signs, it's crazy when you think that hundreds of dogs per week are let loose in the park, far more likely someone will suffer a dog bite than a 250 gram drone hitting them and the consequences more serious too Like I said though, nobody owns the airspace above their land so as long as I'm not stood on their land I can fly over making sure that I maintain line of sight and that I am well above the height of the tallest building/structure

No. It was easy. The embarrassment gave me the strength of fifty men!

Did you have a sniff and a lick to make sure it wasn't just hidden

Britannia Bridge last week.

They're Ingerlisch and don't know any better. I'm surprised that some twat hasn't bought that pile of rocks and converted it into a holiday home.

I don’t think much to the parking areas around there.

Yes but it's the challange of getting there in adverse conditions, then putting your tent up, getting pissed and trying not to fall in the mud You also meet all sorts of weird feckers, some of them are even weirder than peeps on here

Looks chinese.

Daft cunt it’s self catering.

Ok I’m off to the cafe for breaky help yourself.

Sounds exactly like our experience coming home from the Dragon Rally last time. I never thought I'd see a Honda CRF1000L loaded with camping gear get blown clean off it's stand but it happened to my mates bike

That's not an attribute that I inherited......thank god!

Beats the shit outta me, i have no idea

The results everyones been waiting for with baited breath are in… and the shit was gone

I have no idea why someone would do that sort of thing ? What you say @Sir Fallsalot

Well, you lost me, the only thing i did in school is stare out the window waiting to be released from the hell of adults making. I wanted to be free and live a life humans are supose to live, out in the wild, having an adventure, i have a question. How come human brains have gooton smaller as we have "advanced" as a race in time? Seems formal education doesnt require as much brain space, does it?

But there's no bigger thrill than nearly being taken out by a bunch of peacocks Terry!

Knew it would!

Yup you can still get new 2 strokes here but mostly dirt bikes rather than road bikes, this one is road legal but prefer the four strokes to 2 stroke though. Here's mine out with a mate last Sunday

It appears that some guy with a starter case of Bell's Palsey is attempting to justify his bad decisions about riding by making a video touting how great it is.

on my way , you best fuck off out for an hour @Swagman
