Fozzie Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Family BBQ as it's my burpday next week, first year of my 30s done. Got some friends coming up from London as well, almost feels dirty to admit to having friends over after the year we've had in the pandemic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some fantastic roads and brew stops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might go out that way anyway even if I don't go on the club ride, it has been a long time since I was out that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it into my head to go to Wales on Saturday afternoon so I grabbed just the basics for a one night camp and set off . Looks like the the Elan Valley estate, the mountain road from Rhayader to Devils Bridge, about a mile after the turning to the dams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbogirlie Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I think we'll just head out on the bikes, preferably into mid Wales but depends on the weather... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame you can't get a test ride on a Sportster . These things are such a laugh to ride . I'm sure that you would be instantly hooked . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be stepping up in the near future, but I have had comments about Xena and the way that we can outride others on bigger bikes, and that they had to really turn on the power to keep up going through the twisties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Up early tomorrow to sadly get on public transport to go collect my new to me Tracer 700. I'll be putting pictures up just for Stu as he's a little sensitive about posts about new bikes without pictures The joke part is that the 700 was more expesive than the 900 to insure, but I just didn't feel right on the 900. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerontious Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Working, so as per usual my weekend is just part of a normal working week. However, yesterday I collected my wad of euros and on Tuesday the Africa Twin is having a minor service, oil and both filters (it has 2 oil filters) plus new brake fluid. It has also had a new rear tyre. A Conti trail attack, it lasted almost 8500 miles. The front is fine, but will probably need replacing at the end of the winter. 8 more night shifts to go. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
