Into Wales on my zxr400!

[M1ke]

After a long 6 months I finally took the plunge and put my zxr400L on the road.

I thought for my first ride I better make it a good one....

So off i went heading for wales passing 3 speed traps along the way! Here are some photos attached of my little adventure. I will be getting some video footage from these roads later on in the year.

Nice! I want a go on those roads!

[Shaun]

Cool pictures!

[JonB]

The scenery looks amazing, where abouts in Wales is it? North or South?

Its north wales, south west of Wrexham at a place called Llangollen

Ah well the pictures are amazing.

Some very smart photo's, looks like a good place to ride as well. I'd probably get distracted by the nice views and ride off the cliff or something daft!

The bike is lovely too, especially the can. No doubt it growls nicely! Looking into an ART myself, just need to find one at the right price.

Llangollen is one of the most beautiful places i have ever had the pleasure of going to!
Went there in 1991 when i was 11yrs.
Your pictures are ace dude!!

[M1ke]

One of my best memories was riding up there last winter on my cbr250 and I found snow!

Needless to say I took a photo which I have now framed and is kept on my bedroom wall

Here it is attached below...

Wow, that last one is really quite beautiful... If you ever go to live abroad or stop riding bikes, then that picture would make a brilliant memento of your life now


I've tried a few excursions into the peakdistrict looking for scenery just like that, but with no real luck. I've only found one breath-taking view which was outside of Castleton where there's some organised cavern/cave exploring things. The road leading down to one of them goes steeply downhill with craggy rocks/cliffs on either side. It took my breath away when I road down on my bike, though I couldn't find any where appropriate to stop to take it in properly, and there was a fair amount of traffic on the road(minibusses of hikers etc). The whole area around Mam Tor is nice, but it just doesn't compare to what you've got photographed. I can think of a few other stunning scenes in the Peaks, but not that accessible(start of the Penine way is really beautiful, in a desolate kind of way).

That's not too far from me, if I'd known you were going there for a ride, I may have got out of bed this morning.

Let us know next time you go (Should have my ZXR4L back soon).

[Nighteyes]

Yay Mike, lovely photos you got there!!!

So did you enjoy the ride, or was it just for photo gathering???

Those pictures are lovely, but strange.

Looks like your bike has a mind all of its own, and went for a jollie all on its own .... maybe I'm a touch pished

[M1ke]

It was on its own because all the midlander lot are pussies. I have found if I want to go a ride I have to go alone cause the rest of them are all skint/lazy/at work/scared

I consider my self lucky if they join me for one ride a year let alone once a week.

If you ever want some company, yell, we are usually up for last minute rides, long and short.

[binge]

Beautiful Photos! And the roads look amazing too. I wouldnt mind a go, but at 60mph flat out, I think id be better off going in my Mini rather than my Scooter.

Hmm, I wonder how the mini would handle those roads
It does have mini lite sports wheels and sports suspension
