More logical (to me) when writing/sending/accepting emails. Also 99% of the time the spam system works as well, get's rid of the Nigerian prince's asking me to invest in their coconut farm

Educate me then Bucky, my eyes aren't as good as they used to be...........

Who's got the Springer , is it a Springer ?

Abergwesen Pass...........

Last stop was the church at Boughrood which has a 'Dead House' in the grounds I did 227 miles yesterday which is probably like a trip to the shops for our American friends but on our little roads is a fair trip. The Tenere 700 impresses me more and more each time I ride it, it's a bloody ace bike

I was a bit ihungry now so I found a nice spot on the Abergwesen Pass to eat my sandwiches ................ Once I got down to Beulah I took the road to Newbridge-on-Wye, what a cracking road that is, lovely sweeping bends and undulations, my semi-gay tyres were enjoying it. Found a lovely church at Llanafan Fawr............. I took a back road down to Builth Wells and then an unclassified road down to my favourite bench............

So I made it down to the chapel at Soar y Mynydd and started to go up the byway but it was bloody carnage. Queues of 4x4's trying to get around mountain bikers coming the other way. I managed to do a 27 point turn and rode back out, Lots of peeps about looking at the chapel........... I rode on through to the Devil's staircase but couldn't take the route I wanted as the road was closed. I didn't want to head to Tregaron so I went back to the chapel and took the other road. Well things happen for a reason , don't they ? as I was now in a position to do some Dark Motorcycling a la Spanish Ginge ..... I don't know what it is (perhaps @Sir Fallsalot) can help but I suspect it was an attempt at some sort of hydro-electric thingymabob ? Anyway the gate was open so I went for a mooch......... I didn't go inside as it was locked and there might be a Dragon's nest in there anyway There was a lovely small waterfall below the dam...........

How very dare you

It started with Covid Pedro, my riding has become more singular (is that the right word ?) as well. Next tyres are already in the rack at work, bought them 6 months ago but these Pirelli's are wearing well. Next ones are not gay.......

Same here Tym, I got these ............

Don't beleive you, where are the photos of the scantilly clothed women (and men for Bucky) ?

Overland event is smaller and geared towards the more serious dudes who like riding in strange countries and sleeping in a hedge It involves 4 wheeled vehicles as well and if you haven't got a sticker on your vehicle from Patagonia they'll probably ignore you .

So since covid restrictions have eased i've been waiting to do a fairly long day around Wales. So over the bridge and a great ride up through Usk to get to the Heads of the Valleys road and on past Brecon towards Usk Reservoir, somewhere I haven't been for over 10 years. I had a good look but couldn't see Fred anywhere........... Anyway, after a coffee from my flask and a good chinwag with a local who had an ace accent from Camden Town I back tracked a while incase I saw any riders covered in shit with a hairy dude leading them . I even stopped by the hell hole cafe in Llandovery just incase they were hanging around but no luck. So I moved onwards and out towards Llyn Brianne , on the way I needed a comfort break (we have ladies present so I'm not going to say have a piss) and found this ace old bridge over the River Towy, unfortunately my phone had a hissy fit and I've lost the photos but I can tell you that it was built in 1822 . I'd forgotten how good the road is around Llyn Brianne, there is some stunning scenery around there........... I also noticed at this point that my tyres are becoming more gay by the minute..........

We get a lot of race bikes in with chinese fairings on them, expect nothing to fit like O/E but if you're trying to save your originals then it's a damned good idea to use them.

Fuck that , 6000 people together when we still have covid problems here, no thanks. Anyway, I prefered it when it was in a field near Banbury without all the corporate shite. I've been with ABR from the begining but for me they sold out big time, having said that for anyone going I wish them all the best .

Last week it was sweltering, today I wish I'd worn an extra two layers

Got to love France on a warm day, ride through any village and what do you see ? No one, absolutely no one except some silly feckin Brits riding their bikes and trying to find a sandwich and a coffee from somewhere

You should have been in Wales today, two days from mid summers day and I had to put my heated grips on

Just be careful, there are no you tube videos of when the strap lets go ......................

They have knobs but they're worn down to gay

Cheers Fred but that ain't going to happen on my tyres .

Not quite Prog but Garry Brooker in fine voice................

Yes, billy no mates again

I'll be on my Tenere, not planning to do any trails tomorrow but as you well know Fred that can change as in ' oooh ! I wonder where that goes '

I'm heading for Usk reservoir and Llyn Brianne Fred so I'll keep an eye out for you.
