Minirolls Musings

Gear Sequence

Not much to say about today. Aimi basically only talked to me about how to get dressed. Kinda the opposite of what a red blooded male enjoys.

Portmerion & Porthmadog

Don’t go to Portmerion. The best way I can describe it is like a theme park for old people, where the only ride is “getting a coffee”.

After a far more stressful weekend than I deserved, we are off to Wales again on the bikes. Now I’ve graduated to ‘Fair Weather Rider’ from ‘Only Method Of Transport’, we don’t ever go out unless it’s looking pristine. This is why I was surprised Aimi wanted to ride in the rain. Usually she’s reluctant unless the weather porridge is just right… but this trip she WANTS to ride in the rain! I’m not about to dissuade her, I’m hoping she will come to Dragon Rally next year.

A Lap Of Mt. Fuji

Yes

YES

YESSSSSS!!!

WE HAVE SUNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!

Full Rain

Well we are definitely getting wet today.

It started raining. Its going to rain all day, and its going to finish raining. Hopefully before 6am tomorrow.

Deal?

Soggy St Davids

Can you get a neck cramp?

It’s a wonderfully painful reminder of how much I used to motorbike and how little I have done recently that I’m in this much pain. Since becoming a chubby van dweller, I’ve allowed myself to enjoy, and become used to, a vans comforts.

KTM Big Day Out

Early sunday mornings across the UK mean something special for one particular breed of man...

(You can read this in Attenborough’s voice if you like…)

For Sale: Ducati Multistrada 1000DS

In regular use for local rides into the peaks so mileage may increase a little till sold.

Love this bike, especially the torque for the roll on lazy power out of corners. Literally nothing like a big V Twin to put a smile on your face every single ride, especially with the loud and rude exhaust!

Will suit a taller rider who is moving up from a 600 and wants a bit more oomph but still an aggressive sporty ride. This is not a soft bike like the tracer or tiger, its an engaging ride full of Ducati charm!

She’s in good condition for her age. Not in a rush to sell, but I’ve had her 4 years and fancy a change.

Best Road In Britain

Probably one of my first “Blog Posts” was actually a document I created on Facebook, way back in March 2011. So, other than correcting my terrible grammar, here is it:

Fairwell Travelling Companion

It’s a really hard decision that I have been putting off for a while now, but the time has come to say goodbye. With two bikes in the garage, and only one body to ride them with at any one time, I have decided to sell one of the bikes.
