Just home from a 250 mile run to the Mid wales Coast.

Went west from home to Oswestry and then down the A483 to Newtown and then the A470 and A44 to Aberystwth for ice cream!

The pannier picture here is a off a GTR parked next to mine!

We then headed down the coast to Aberaeron for chips and a walk round the harbour.  Then back on the bike heading east through Lampter to Llandovery to rejoin the A483 that we followed all the way back upto Oswestry, passing through Builth and Llandridnod Wells before stopping at Crossgates for fuel and a cold drink.

My favorite road came next, from Crossgates to Newtown and in line with much of the day the traffic was remarkably light and we only ovetook one car in the 23 miles.

Great day, quietish roads, sunshine and as ever a fabulous bike!

Sounds like a very decent trip. There was only me on line earlier today, everyone must have been out riding. I'm on nights but as of 7am Monday, I have five days off so gonna make the most of them! I'll look at your pics on the PC later, takes too long to load them on the mobile.

Not everyone. Managed to spend some quality time with the kids today. Yesterday went down the M1 to J24 were I met my friend and we came back on the A6, into Glossop, and over the Penines into Huddersfield.

Tons of bikes out, but didn't spot any GTRs.

We did a ride over the Yorkshire Dales across to Reeth again. 

The ride saw my tyre off  :-[

No idea...  I got my Japanese "Brother of Big Ninja" made as a one off by a local sign maker.

I park at work and everyone walks past my bike. Would I get way it? Given that I#ve already had an argument with HR about wearing a balaclava.
