Sir Fallsalot

Inspired by Pete's and Moon's ride reports this afternoon i thought, i'll have some of that shit and went out for an evenings ride on the big black girl, there's a few reservoirs about 30 minutes from me, i picked the ones running from Pontsticill to Talybont On Usk as i haven't ridden that road in quite some time. Took the A470 to Merthyr the bike feels really smooth and quick after riding the smaller bikes so it wasn't long before i was at Pontsticill res the weather is a cool 14c overcast and dull At Pontsticill dam the water levels are still low even though we've had quite a lot of rain these last two weeks that big round thing with the railings around it is where the water overflows to when the res is full. This is looking up the res last time i was here you wouldn't have had this view as there were trees everywhere Onward towards Talybont res, the weather has brightened up and there's some great cloud formation overhead the views are spectacular, i see buzzards hovering and squirrels running as i ride, the roads are quiet and i'm throuraly enjoying where i live what mad bastard would want to leave this place LOL I pulled onto the gravel track above to have a look at these waterfalls i'm on my way back out there, pity the trees are blocking the top one you could see it better with the eye Heading down to the valley Talybont res is in bike looks a bit weird because its a pano At the start of the res (the filling end) this is what it usually looks like taken from google street view This is it today just as low as Pontsticill At the dam From here it was through the village of Talybont on Usk and i decided to follow the road that runs alongside the Brecon canal which opened over 200 years ago if your on the canal you have to duck down going through the tunnel here. A little further along at Llangynidr there are five locks to navigate which are a pain because when we were on the canal a few years ago the wife couldn't operate them so i had to drive the barge in and out of them and open and close the locks After here it was a right at Crickhowell and up a very steep winding road onto the road past Llangattock Quarry looking down over clydach gorge The Sun is on its way down now and its feeling alot colder even though the temperature is still the same Looking the other way you can the see the Blorenge where i rode yesterday I moved on thinking i would get a good sunset going over the ridgeway road from Tredegar to Bedwellty but not as good as i was hoping for Last photo was where they are planting another one of those eyesores, it was a blast home from here before it got too cold a great evening out i hadn't planned on doing a bit cold when i got in winter is on its way.

Glad you got out again and great photos as for the trolling i don't like doing it but you make it so damn easy its hard to resist

Obviously you have been to wrapped up in your Harley duties to see what goes on around you i'll let someone else explain

He's checking out DMB's again

For anyone that don't get this they have said there maybe blackouts here this winter due to gas shortages i cant wait to see people try to panic buy electricity

Ahh a nice smiley face to cheer me up

Are you asking for a friend

I blame you for this Pete cant help himself but you should know better

FFS don't mention the M

I'll post it again

Yes but it will just be an X model and disappoint everyone again

@Slowlycatchymonkey and @Six30 will you two get a room

Are you talking about the bike or Slowly here

I've done exactly the same thing but even lifted the tent to check they weren't there before scrounging some

It will probably just be a CB750x and nothing even close to what the transalp was

I bought a mahoosive tent once for camping with the car when i got it to the campsite i found there were no instructions with it so spent almost 3 hours erecting it and was one pissed off fucker at the end of it, the rest of the weekend i was composing in my head a letter i going to write to the company to complain when i got back home, that was until i got the bag to pack it back into and this big white flap stitched to the inside of it caught my eye it had the instructions on it

That's how mine started and was thinking of shaving it off but my old man said to me once, your going to be one of those types that will never grow a tidy beard why don't you shave it off, so here i am still stubborn as fuck

I cant see how i was like a lath back then LOL

Local bike club has got an early Halloween party tomorrow night, might go to that but not sure nothing else planned yet

Where you off to Yen

My daughter is a proper ginge came from me as i got or should i say i had a tinge, we've teased and talked to each other about it a lot through her early school years to get her used to how cruel people can be which is sad that i had to point that out to her. she's 20 now and never ever said she was bothered about it and never dyed her hair from her natural colour so i presume she likes it. I used to tease ginger fuckers myself in school but nobody ever teased me which is strange

He's still like that at the annual DMB convention

Always liked the wet T shirt competition at the bike rallies sadly gone from most but there some fun loving girls that will still do it. I remember the chopper club rally we put on just outside Cardiff in the late 80's we had a wet t shirt competition there as most rallies did then, but to make it more interesting the club payed for a stripper to enter with the girls but didn't tell them, the competition was going well until the stripper whipped her knickers off the rest of the girls looked at her and said fuck that and left the stage to the stripper she started inserting bananas and things into certain places and throwing them to the crowd a memory burnt into a green as fuck 18 year olds head i'll never forget LOL
