I'll try and organise a little hoon round this way at some point - maybe start in Abergavenny and take in some of the less frequented roads in Monmouthshire and take in a bit of the Wye Valley too.
I have just had new boots fitted to my 1150GS - Bridgestone BT 020 road tyres. They make no pretence of being gnarly and off-road, which suits me fine. They do make the beast very sure footed indeed on the twistys and the grin factor is immense. If anyone was thinking of fitting them but wasn't quite sure, I can highly recommend giving them a go..
Iechyd da!
