I can imagine it being even worse up your way ! :)

Lots of trees down in the lanes that I commute down, car drivers scratching their heads but the little F650 squeezed through .... bikes rock :D

Had to dodge a few stray wheelie bins on the way in to work today. :shock:

The GT is very stable in high winds though (it should be, it weighs a fekin tonne!)

started work and thought "oh I might need a few of those toilet rolls soon" 35 minutes later and doing 30 mph on the Haydn Bridge bypass and it was time to turn back. Few wagon drivers died today - I made the right call

Overtaking wagons on the Wrexham bypass was spooky enough, driving one must have been petrifying! Good call Dave!
