it's called defensive riding Fred - treat everything as being piloted by morons.... a lot of these 'born agains' are accidents on their way to a location to happen ... it's no wonder a lot end up on a slab.
every transport operator/ plant operator in the country should bombard their MPs, chief con.s, DVSA, and anyone else they can think of, weekly, to demand proper policing of these cowboy operations, get them nailed and off the roads..... for every legit movement, I'll wager there's 30-50 that aren't.If they`re claiming agri, trailer weight limit of 18.29t
I could name five straight off here without even having to think about it .... legit operators just can not compete
totally agree Rory........ two things to be looking for .. danger and opportunity, driving/riding ...... most of 'em can't see either 'til it bites 'em ....... silly season round here will see one or two fatalities a week with bikers ....... and I'm not anti bike - have had one since i was 12 .. currently have several sat in a box - love 'em .. just annoyed by the standard of riding, from 'most'
You want to have a run up to devils bridge on a warm Sunday ...it's undertakers delight.
obviously a different Devil's Bride to my one ....You want to have a run up to devils bridge on a warm Sunday ...it's undertakers delight.

my fave Sunday 'bimble' Talgarth, Builth, Rhayader, Devil's bridge, up over Elan valley & Plynlimmon mountain road, Cwmystwyth, down to Devil's, Aberystwyth for a coffee, then head for Tregarron and take the middle of no where mountain road, down the Devil's staircase, for Abergwesyn, drop off along Lyn Brianne res. to Rhandirmwyn and back onto the A40 at Landovery for a 40ish mile blast home
Last time I was up there was on me z1300 with Pam on the back ... middle of no where and hadn't had it long ... i'm thinking if this breaks down she is gonna kill me

Or a barbed wire fenceJust FYI I love bikes... No one should have to jet wash a person off the road
I have no urge to kill myself (other than when im knee deep in mud on a monday) but still ride ....lots of fun to be had in relative safety if you choose the right time and place.Just FYI I love bikes..... The reason I don't have one is my urge to gain enjoyment is far stronger than my interest in a long long life...... Thus a fatal accident is inevitable. I'm fine with this but on a bike it will likely impact others which I'm not fine with. No one should have to jet wash a person off the road
thats a cracking ride but a lot of idiots around think there at the ttobviously a different Devil's Bride to my one ....

that it is Mart,
but not done it in quite some time .... weren't many Geoff Duke doppelgangers about the last time i was up there ..... main thing to remember is to re-fuel at the Aberystwyth end ..... you'm a bloody long way from anywhere on the way back 
Yeah just seen about that now you mention it. Road to be closed for a while i think.
