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 :dance:
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 .

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 :lol: :lol: 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 :shock:

That A487 is a great road in places when it's not too busy :dance:
CADmonkeys not far from you :think:
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 :think: :whistle: :lol:
