1st proper ride for 12 months.


First proper ride in 12 months, bought a s/h 1995 model VFR in mint nick  2 weeks ago, had a couple of minor little runs.
On Sunday Nigel (ST4s) Jim (998) and myself (VFR) went on a wee trip to Aberdovey, West Wales.

As usual a camera had to make the trip as well, an Olympus C5050 this time, I took about 10 pic's, 3 of which are here.

A coffee at Dinkies on the way out, Fish and chips in Aberdovey for lunch, sun shine all day, what else do you need?
Some heat would have been nice , the sun shone most of the day but it was not really very warm.
To be honest I am surprised by how easy getting back on has been, a small amount of trepidation was not a shock but it
does not feel that much different  than it did 12 months ago, before the accident.

I shall be  taking  things steady for a while but with a trip to France in the summer  and the usual trip to the  Isle of  Man later
on in the year things will  have to get back to normal pretty quickly.

Looking back at Barmouth from the side of Cadir Idris on the coast road .
















































































































































The 5050 is a cracking  piece of kit to use when on the bike, plenty of versatility  , good focal range and  for a 5 meg camera smashing results.
Hope you agree.
