its so good to be back on a bike after a 7 year gap that i don't care about the weather at the moment :)

 

i took on storm Desmond last Sunday and did a 240 mile spin around mid wales...it was interesting riding some of the mountain roads in the wind but at least it stopped raining for most of the spin

 

it was great to ride roads i haven't been on for years

 

the view point for the dylfie valley

it was a great day out except for the weather but i have always been an all weather rider.. i think if you learn to ride in all weathers , it makes you a better rider

 

the bike was almost faultless...just a little tweeking of the carbs after changing the emulsion tubes as it was poping and farting at low revs low speed
