Sunday morning ride

[Henners]

I agree with some of the comments and tips.
However, anyone who rides a bike fully understands the risks involved and therefore chooses to adhere or not to basic safety rules.
Its a free society.
For me speed restrictions are the law and must be obeyed.
Anywhere who says experienced bikers are best to follow?
I always thought riding a bike was about the adrenalin rush. Perhaps i'm wrong.

Carmarthen IAM meet Morrisons cafe every Sunday at around 9.45. Non members welcome as long as you are reasonably proficient.
Today 1200gs followed by me on Tigger then a brace of Bandit 1200 s. No overtaking & keep a good check on mirrors so that nobody is lost behind.
( tip. When riding in a group in 30 mph close up but do not follow in a line but to left or right of bike in front, provided safety allows )
( tip. When going from 30 to national speed limit leader does not blast off but waits until last rider is out of 30 mph. This way tail end rider does not need to exceed limit to keep up)
( tip. Put least experienced rider behind experienced leader. You can then learn about cornering lines etc )
Anyway we went from Carmarthen to Llandysul then to Newcastle Emlyn & after that on to Aberaeron where we had a break at the Celtic Cafe.
( top tip. If in Aberaeron always call in here as Fish & Chips excellent if a little pricey )
Refreshed we travelled to Lampeter , on through Talley , Llandeilo.
Here we split up to go either back to Carmarthen, Crosshands or Ammanford.
Nice morning ride & we hardly saw another bike on the road.
Apart from the "safety camera" near Pont Abraham & the unmarked Volvo hiding in the hedge at the Leekes sliproad ( yes I saw you ) we encountered not one fixed, mobile speed check or even a police car.
WE did however observe all speed limits even the 20mph one.
There is a certain satisfaction in coming down from 60 to 30 with the use of throttle & gear & no brake .The trick is anticipation in seeing the speedo down to 30 just as you pass the sign.

sounds like great fun

Sounds like you had an exciting day, I may pop along next time for a bimble if the weather is good...

That said, I'm unsure if I could slow down with prowess such as  yours just yet 

  good to see you're feeling better Wedge
