Sir Fallsalot

Had a good ride around one of my usual routes Llandovery, Llyn Brianne, Strata Florida, Claerwen Reservoir, Rhayader and home but with a small difference instead of being wet and cold i was hot and wet. As your probably aware we are having a heat wave here in the UK but there was a cool breeze when i was moving so quite a pleasant day. Should have been perfect weather to ride Strata Florida as the water levels would be low on the river which it was except all the puddles were just as deep as any other time Similar photos to the last time i was up this way except the water level is low in Llyn Brianne You can see an old foot bridge here crossing the river used before the valley was flooded in the late 60's its normally submerged One of the river crossings on strata Florida And the puddles were worse they were murky so i couldn't see the hidden rocks in them @XTreme i think i found an endless supply of milky tea for you do you want me to bottle it and ship it over LOL Managed to get a video of myself playing in one of the puddles After Strata Florida was Claerwen res never get bored of the views along here Had a run down to Llangammarch Wells from Rhayader cracking road and remembered there was a river crossing there i normally avoid because the water levels are always too high. When i got there it looked good but when i gt past the middle it went deep felt like the bike was starting to float you can see the water line on the fork gators the wave got my thighs wet and my boots filled up with water Stopped here to empty my boots out and wring my socks not a bad place to take 5 and it was home from here

10-4 You missed a trick there Tym

I'm thinking of braving the heat and heading out on the dog, got to 32°c yesterday not the temperature i like riding in. I don't think I've been out on it since welding up the subframe

Yup its hard to believe he gave all that up for a dusty barren land and a fat polish leech

Sounds like he prefers it burnt and covered in sand

That's shorter than my commute to work most days so @Slowlycatchymonkey is right its by Swansea

Are we still talking about the dogs

Like a menu in a restaurant for example

That's to keep all the lazy chavs out i'd live there

You forgot to mention the Chinese bikes

two words "Duct Tape" and that works with a real leg as well

or even Medieval

The repaired mystery bike

Who in their right minds puts a system on a bike that when it fails something that will save your life stops working

Best thing you can do Pete is by a Honda

They should still work without the ABS never heard of faulty ABS holding the brakes off usually just wont kick in when needed no help to you i know

What it was juddering when you were pulling the brakes even when you weren't skidding

You can ride without the ABS its just like old school when there was no ABS your brakes will still work. Are you sure you didn't accidently turn it off and back on again you know what your like with anything mechanical LOL

Been there with the exhaust stud one snapped long which i welded a nut onto and the other one snapped short and was the one tight to the frame . I took my time and managed to drill it out starting small and working my way up using long cobalt drill bits good luck

Nope that was Bobs mate Steve i just ripped a pannier off on a post LOL

Binning bikes in more places than me is nothing to brag about Bob

I'm starting to think if i owned that bike it would have a better life with me

I'm home alone this weekend the wife and boy are at rockfest in Barcelona and not back until Monday. How many days can you survive without food I've only been home 5 hours and i'm starving already LOL

Don’t beat about the bush Pedro just sy what you mean
