Re: The North Wales Run - AO does the EVO Triangle
Just driven back up through powys from pembroke and my god the roads in parts were fab, never really dropped below 50 unless I was passing through a village and the roads were a mix of curvey and long straights.
Could tell how popular it was there were signs all along the roads encouraging bikers not to kill themselves. 
Hooray for sat nav  |

Re: The North Wales Run - AO does the EVO Triangle
That sounds like great fun mate
Did you sort your brakes out in the end?? I heard you thought you had warped discs or something |

Nope, still not good, it's only gentle braking from quite high speeds that shows it up, if I'm quite agressive with the brakes they don't vibrate so I think the damage I did is quite minor.
Still not inspired though and if I stiffen up the chassis as I'm planning the brakes aint gonna be up to the job long term. |

Did you use the A487 from Aberystwyth to Fishguard? Love that road! Always use it when I go climbing around St Davids. It's always best on a Friday afternoon early escape from work 
Sorry to hear about the brakes - hope you get them sorted. Have to say, brilliant colour that you've got there on the GTA -well impressed.

I have to agree with that one. Lovely motor and colour
I was torn between looking at mine or yours in the car park but mine won I'm afraid, she is so lovely I can't help it
I'm very loyal and you can't beat a sexy older lady with experience

Nope, looking at the sat nav I think we went on the following
A477
A40
A483
A5
A483
M56 and home
And thanks
Yours does look very nice. if I had a GTV it'd be something along those lines |
