Hi all .
On Wednesday I set of Brixham on the south Devon coast from the sunny Black Country bay I.
Nice ride incident free spent a couple of days touring around Paignton Dartmouth Torquay .
The roads are not too bad some narrow some cobbled .
Sunday back towards Bristol over the tole bridge ( bikes are free  :clap: ) towards Aberystwyth .
Stayed the nite then monday a trip home via llangurig  Newtown and craven arms. Was a lovely ride till craven arms about 22 miles from home a guess what a piece of  :censored: welsh slate decides to attach itself to my rear tyre  :censored: it went from a red light on the dash and warning low pressure R and the psi of 36 to 15 in about 10 seconds  :censored: :censored:.the culprit was 1/2 inch wide a 1/4 deep and 2 1/2 long a nice welsh souvenir .a nice trip except for two new pilot 3s purchased .
