  1. ok mate, should get there about 11, possibly 3 or 4 mates coming with me now, one of whom has not long passed test so best just to meet there. Pipey, we go Telford, Shrewsbury, Welshpool, over Dynnas Mawdwyi (spelling lol) then turn left onto A487 signed macchynlleth then turn right onto B4405 signed Tywyn. then right at bryn crug onto A493 and it's signed. Fantastic roads.

    Don't know if I'll be able to come to watch if it's in the week, you'll never please everybody Vicks, just choose a date that's best for most and the rest will have to lump it.

    Chinese imports?

    I have no personal experience, but , from everything I've read and heard, stay well away. They fall apart and there is virtually no customer support.

    Track day..

    I would maybe come and watch but not interested in going on the track, my one and only track day ended on the grass after half a lap, can't afford to do it again.
  11. Ok am definately going Easter Sun. me and 1 mate so far, anybody else
  12. I would say as soon as the clocks change, I was there that night, sad, very sad but they shouldn't have been standing where they were.
  13. I'm on my second Shark, I'm happy with them.

    Which one?

    I voted for the SV because they're tried and tested and handle well, and because there's no Honda on the list
  15. I am hoping to go on Easter Sunday, Apr8th. Anybody wants to meet up let me know. I will have my mobile with me but they don't work very well there. Usually practice starts at 0900, racing starts at 1200. I plan to get there about 1100. It takes me appx. an hour and a half from Telford allowing for traffic and one smoke break
  16. I've got an almost brand new pair of oxtar boots that I was given, I can't get on with them. I usually wear a cheap pair of Akito boots, they haven't got a heel, the first time I wore the oxtars, they have a small heel, I got to the end of the drive, came to put my foot down, and couldn't!!!! I ended up leaning against the fence. I also can't change gear properly in them cos they've got no give in them to get my toe under the lever and they squeak, spines up the back similar to vertebras.
  17. Remind me about the Brum one and I'll try to make it Is it in the afternoon? could come straight from work.

    Bike Pulsing

    I thought I had a similar problem when I first got the Blade, it was fine accelerating but trying to hold a steady speed it was jerking like mad. It was because I was holding the throttle too tight and as the bike is so responsive, it was going on/ off the gas all the time.
  19. I posted this before but I think it was on the other site, I've never been into leathers, always been a jeans and jacket man. Anyway last year I bought my first ever set of 2 piece leathers, Red, Black and White to match the bike. I struggled for half an hour, upstairs, to get them on, creaked down the stairs and went into the lounge to show the kids, they rolled about the floor laughing saying I was the red power- ranger!!! I've never worn them since.
  20. OK it's off the A493 going south from Dollgellau on the opposite side of the estuary from Barmouth.You follow the coast with just stone walls between you and the sea past Fairbourne then, almost as soon as you start to go inland, it's sign posted. If you get to a place called Bryn-y-Crug you've gone too far.
  21. Well done Gary, Nigel, you need to be careful, there are 2 Towyns (should be spelt Tywyn) one is near Rhyl/Colwyn bay one is near Abberdyfi /Aberdovey. This is the Aberdovey one. I will put directions on soon.
  22. Tonfanau is a 1 mile circuit, right on the coast. 4 times a year, on the Sunday before bank holiday mondays, they hold club racing organised by the Crewe and Nantwich combine. Normally they have 8 races repeated 4 times, so that's 32 races. Last year the admission price was £5. The circuit is between Towyn and Fairbourne (i will edit this later when i've looked at the map with road nos) It's worth a punt just for the ride there and back, the roads are fantastic.
  23. It's a bit wet/cold for me this week but if you're coming on your bike in July Niccki I'll definately meet up somewhere, one of the bike meets maybe?

    Quick Poll

    I voted black, too much orange it will look like a tangerine
  25. I still think it's a turbo!, TDI's were the older ones, there are 2 HDI engines, 1 is 90ps the other is 115ps, but they're both turbos. now who's the geek?
