Hi everyone :) been a while since I posted up works been getting in the way a fair bit but did manage to get out last week! get in!

Guess you could say this year is a year of self discovery of realising why do I do what I do and what makes me tick times out riding deep thought nothing but the bike and the road ahead, and thoughts of it while Im in work lol

on a mission to explore our wonderful country a bit more with long days riding out,

Had a ride round some great B roads in wales, then ended up at the bottom of the Llanberis pass, and after all the way round the coast, of wales and back home about 14 hours riding in total in a day felt sorry for dad on his 750 GSX-R lol he's starting to see the light now haha

anyway enough rambling here are a few pictures of my Lumia didn't take the camera that day few more pics to come,

really do need to decide on some new tyres

So one that I missed posting up me and my little cousin went down to cornwall for 1 day and 1 day travelling either side ended up in Looe but stopped of at Trebarwith Strand so I could do some landscapes had the worst weather I'd ever experienced on the way down but was beautiful when we where there, of interest I did a steady 60 and did the full trip on one tank on the way back my cous' did 70 and kept having to fill up got in 2 hours ahead of him lol

hope you all enjoy the pics
pulled into cornwall and dried the kit out a bit freezing was an understatement well for my cous lol The Klim stuff from adventure bike warehouse rocked!
