Problem is if you are one of the 'two' and are by a popular route the din can be almost continuous. |

Bikers in North Wales have just been on the local news, basically as a warning to bikers coming here this Bank Holiday. They were filming at the Ponderosa Cafe and the Chief Constable gave his 'no need for speed' speech and a firm warning they're 'clamping down'. Apparently the Chief Constable is a biker himself and will be out and about patrolling on a bike. They used a clip from North Wales Police's YouTube showing a group of bikers being followed at over 100mph. Oh and apparently it's mostly men in their 40's and 50's that die in North Wales on a bike.
Hope you weren't planning to visit North Wales this Bank Holiday  ____________________ I want your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle.

I'll spend my money elsewhere.
I'm completely baffled why anyone would bother going to north Wales on a motorcycle. Why not go to the Dales, south Wales, Peaks, Lakes, heaps of lovely places where you won't be treated like a criminal. They can have my money instead. |
It's actually really great around here, We do have a perception problem from the previous police constable who was famous for hating all motorists that ride or drive something not utilitarian, and we haven't got rid of that image yet. Brunstrom largely targeted the Conwy Valley in his pointless crusade against bikes, not the roads around the Ponderosa which are great for "making progress"
As for the lot that this is aimed at? Mid-life crisis, brand new sportsbike-of-the-moment, insanely loud pipes, and outcornered by a 125 on Cheng Shin tyres. The way they rag it without any skill whatsoever, they deserve something to make them think about it, they won't live to gain any skill. There's always some of them there at any given weekend in the summer.
I'll be out on my bike on Monday, I don't plan on riding especially slowly, I'm not the target audience. |

I can't say I've found the Welsh police to be any worse than elsewhere. I've been done for speeding twice in Wales, but more than that in England. I found Essex police to be worse tbh. It seems to me that Snowdonia and the Brecon Beacons regions are the riskiest areas for speeders; I've rarely seen any evidence of heavy-handed policing in the central part, and many of the best roads are there. Even on a weekend of a much publicised crack down on bikers in the Bala area (notorious?), I saw little indication of over zealous action.
My experience has also been that Welsh police were much pleasanter towards me as a motorcyclist than the intolerant attitudes of some Essex police. But then, our perceptions will always be coloured by personal experience I guess. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017
