Storm in North Wales

[Whoa Nelly]

Hi folks, first post time. Acquired my VTR last summer and have been adding its basso profundo to the valleys of Snowdonia ever since. Its not perfect for round here (skinny rat + standard spring + bumpy roads = you do the maths) but it makes me larf.
My user name? Its what I find myself muttering into my helmet on a regular basis.
Oh, its a blue '99, pretty standard so far, with some nice Moriwakis - I'll try & put up a pic or two

[Whoa Nelly]

Darn image posting! Is this any better?

[Whoa Nelly]

Guess not.
Ok, picture a motorbike, a pretty blue one, with a background. Imagine it. Its like you're there.

[Whoa Nelly]

Welcome mate

Must say i'm slightly disapointed though ,.............with a user name like 'whoa nelly' ,i had a picture in my mind of a sexy early 20's jodhpur wearing country girl ,carrying a whip

Nice bike you have there

Was going to make a welcome comment,but all i can think about now is

.......Oh yea.... Welcome Nelly

[Whoa Nelly]

But... how did you know about the jodpurs & whip?? (checks to see if I posted the right pics)

Cheers folks - don't believe all the hype about N Wales police though. The much-publicised draconian measures aren't that common - if you use a bit of judgement and don't take the p*ss you'll be unlikely to get stopped these days. I have it on good authority that our new Chief Constable runs a ZX-10, but he's playing that one down if its true. Anyways, choose the right road at the right time and there's plenty opportunity to let the V-twin sing its song!

Hello Nelly.

Sister in law stays over the lake from Llanberis. Always been down in the car but the roads around there look like they would be fun on 2 wheels.

[Whoa Nelly]

Ta for the welcomes, folks! What a friendly place!
Hi Rich, yup we've got some great roads hereabouts, ranging from sweepy fast tarmac ribbons to nadgery wee back lanes. The Storm can be a bit of a handful on the latter but then the pipes hit that resonant frequency and all is forgiven. My last bike was this

which was a hoot for local blasts but didn't have the legs for longer trips. Also no thriving owners website, probably because there was only 3 of us..
