    Hiya everyone. I'm Ade from S.Wales. I've been after a Speedtriple for a few years and last week I finally managed to get my act together and buy one. Now the proud owner of a Speedtriple rr. I'm still running it in at the moment just a hundred miles to go. I've come from a sports bike background and the rr feels perfect. Look forward to chatting to you all on here and giving advice when I can. Cheers Ade

    By any random chance you wouldn’t be the Geoff Butler that I once met at a track day at Brands would you? Highly unlikely I know but was wondering?

    Hiya Funn, the Brecon Beakons and North are where the best roads are to be found. We travelled from Llandovery to Aberystwyth and back over the Builth Wells today and the roads were fantastic. Thoroughly recommend. I'll post a pic of the route when I've recovered.
    I've pretty much only ridden on track for the last ten years so only just finding my way on road again.
    Anglesey track is a fantastic place to be. If any of you guys are thinking of doing a trackday just get it booked. James Whitham days are the best.

    You should be able to pick this route up about 2 thirds between point A and B. IMG-20230610-WA0002.jpg
