Re: Newbie saying Hiya!
Nice update Clive
I was roaming the airwaves in the good old CB days , I was still on their for a while after Buzby and his BT retarded mates wanted the monopoly on communications and fucked things up and then it changed to a different frequency and became CBX if I remember correctly !
The wife and I were going to have a bulldog when we retired but while she's been off on the sick "she" decided we'd have a dog now and she'd always wanted an English Bull Terrier s now we have Remi
Talking of the wife , she's from the beautiful land of sheep too but she grew up in south Wales and then moved to mid Wales .

Re: Newbie saying Hiya!
Hy ya Clive and welcome,
I had a 2004 R1 - they are nice.
I spent plenty of time in mid Wales on it - well there was no point in going to North Wales at that time with the mad copper the Met throughout and gave you guys Brunstrum or something like that?
Anyway back to mid Wales: try the Newtown to Crossgates road on your 04 (with some nice sticky tyres on) they call it gods road - nice, really nice. Also the back road though the Bula (spelling?) Those roads are brilliant but tight

CADmonkeys not far from you
Some cracking roads around there like the A44 from llangurig to Aberystwyth or llangurig to Builth Wells and Aberystwyth along the elan valley to Rhayader is interesting
