Wales on a motorbike

Post by Dai wiskers »

I visited an old mate of mine today John Hopkins [he is seventy] sadly he informed me of the sad loss of his wife, he then said he still had some coppies of his GREAT little book left

Edit The book has 188 pages and 175 photo's most taken in the rain it always seems to rain when John get's on a bike!

WALES

ON A MOTORBIKE

It truly is a little gem one mans story of a ride round wales on his V/MAX not all of wales is covered but most of the coast and some other bit's and pieces
There was going to be a second book written this year he set off the end of may and after 1100 miles he went down with phnumonia [spelllin i was never going to get that right now was i ]

Sorry folks the price £5.99 + P&P i think about £1.50
P.M. me and i will forward his details
A couple of years ago it was available from Abergavenny bus station and still maybe, also it was onsale in the butchers in tredega but if your going there you may as well have a look for the old fella working on his Shadow cos thats him tell him Wiskers sent you

I will not put this in trade section as it's just to try to help out an old mate EDIT I did

Cheers all Dai

Great toilet reading and his spelling is far better than mine

Thanks for looking Dai

EDIT It's in the trade section

Unashamed bump
John has just told me he will be away monday till at least friday

He's off to Ipswich on the bike if you live in that part of the world look out for him he will be on a black Honda shadow 1100

Another thought if John's going to Ipswich he will undoubtably[spelinng] take the rain with him and for all of us in south Wales the sun should come out it seems to rain every time he gets on his bike
