Sir Fallsalot

Beat me to it,

Got to admit the last time i came down it i walked the bike over the last drop and I've never tried riding up it . My mate with the Beta has just bought a van big enough to take the two bikes so i might have to introduce him to the lanes over Tintern way soon

Just pulled this photo of Pant Glas Steps off the TRF page, done it on the XR i think a trip on the Beta is needed now,

Yes everything has its faults even now in fact i think things have got worse over these last 20 years but the Brit stuff was winning at it in their day

I meant Jap bikes of the same age as British bikes in the 70's

You beat me to it LOL

I have no idea where you getting the jap bikes were unreliable from , the only people i know that slagged them off were die hard brit bike owners, even the most unreliable jap bikes were as reliable as a good British bike from my experience. When i was on a bike run in my late teens if anyone showed up on anything British we all rolled our eyes, not because we didn't like them but because we knew it would be a day full of stops to tinker or get the bloody thing going again, I remember following a mate on his triumph tiger (1970's bike) in the rain, it was that light drizzle sort of stuff but when we stopped for a chat i realised it wasn't raining, the piece of shit he was riding was leaking oil and the front of me and my bike were covered in it. He was behind me the rest of the ride LOL

This is the bike i wanted when they first started selling the CRF1000 very disappointed it was only somebodies vision of what it could be

Absolutely right how dare they close the kitchen before he arrived i would have done the same

Its your eyes then because that tiger is nowhere near any sea

I have tried a heated seat on a motorbike it had me squirming around on the seat just too hot even with it turned down same effect with car seats for me.

Our transit vans in work have that, will be standard on all vehicles soon i think.

If you buy an electric car you can do that. There's also pre heaters that have been available for decades but you need somewhere to plug them in always thought about fitting one but never got around to it

yes but what about the journey there and back

I'll look forward to seeing it in a ride report that's not to a supermarket or is that too positive for this thread

My wife's car has heated seats she likes them but i find it gets uncomfortable pretty quick with them on. Only thing i like about them is their good for taking the chill off the leather seats on a frosty day. As for a heated seat on a bike i cannot think of a time when i was riding along and thought, hmm my arse and ball sack could do with warming up its the hands and feet that get cold with me.

Talking of photo shop when are we going to see a photo of your Honda shop purchase

Your right Bob i just love the way it looks though This is the photo on the phones default settings

If that was Canada whoever took the photo would have still applied a filter to make it look like that no photos look like that straight from the camera without some kind of setting up before or after

My job today was just outside Brecon town it was 0°c and there was a frost on the ground when i left for work. On days like this the reservoirs are usually like mirrors and i wasn't disappointed when i got to Llwyn Onn res it was pretty spectacular After getting to story arms i could see down towards Brecon there was still some fog in the valley and guess where i was working Driving from the above to this was a bit disappointing, Fucking fog didn't lift all day and the temperature never went above 3°c, i was fucking freezing all day and you think you got it rough Pete LOL

No i seem to have lost the enthusiasm for the bikes at the moment so i thought i'd just hang around here and troll you all day LOL

Yes he's a member of the TRF so i'm in the Facebook group with him he seems quite excited about it

But did you know i'm originally from Quakers Yard, i made the big move south about 35 years ago
