This are the same S bends I did before but went a lot faster to show how quickly the bike responds to my steering input ..

Also notice the parked car I pass and how quickly the bike suddenly responds and picks up to speed on just a whiff of throttle as I get
passed the car :-)

Here is another fun road towards Corwen and the first of some decent twisty bits :-)

Once I get round the final bend I open the throttle in fifth gear and the bike just pulls up to silly speed in no time at all,
I must check the engine to make sure it doesn't say 1,000cc on the side ...lol

Since you'r posting "faster" lol Here is my slightly faster one also.... I think you may have seen it already Jules but, here it is anyway. I crank up the RPM's in the beginning a bit, let it strtch its legs some....

lol it totally throws me off driving on the left side of the road. I keep forgetting your on the other side of the pond. Im like what the hell is she doing

 

Nice ride, but I think I like the 10,000 RPM ride better. That lake looks like where you take a lot of your bike photo's. Very nice...

BTW
Congrats on winning the Bike of the Month...

 

+1 thinkin' the same thing. Haha.

 

thank you Bill, and ...yes, the lake is Llyn Brenig, it's very beautiful and so peaceful out here ... I often take the bike up here and get pictures by the lake, I have a certain spot where the boats are that is simply gorgeous ... when I go down to the lake and switch off the engine, the contrast is amazing as it's silent out here :-)

Yea, I figured that out about 3 minutes after posting. I had looked at your video on youtube by browsing the other videos you posted. I didn't realize you had put it up on the forum until later. I should be more thorough before asking questions. I like to look at Google Earth to get an idea of the areas you ride in. I couldn't find that lake for the life of me, but I wasn't looking that far W either. I did see what appears to be some kind of track E of Tarporley. Is that a public one or privately owned ?

 

hey Bill found these :-)

it's set in our lovely Cheshire countryside

Rod38um, given the 3.2 miles or so that you covered in about 3:30 that's doing about 58.3mph average. I'd say you're going just a little more than fastish on those back roads.
