Thank you lads.
See you both soon.

I met up with Dat998 and thatlobby at 10am in Hereford and spent a great day riding the roads around the brecons and black mountains. The weather was excellent and the company of two ducatisti made it all the better.

Thank you too you both

The pace of the ride was good with all riding sensible and safely without attracting the attention of the local constabulary who were around the area.

Every where you look now the speed limits have been reduced, with 50mph becoming the norm. But we did find roads with national speed limit signs and great views so we could still open the ducati's up and sample the delights of superb handing and intoxicating sound against a fantastic back drop.

Go on book a day off soon and make the most of nearly deserted roads during the week. You owe it to yourself and your Ducati.

sorry I didn't take many photos; to busy enjoying the roads

The weather held out for you three lucky chaps. I did get to work this morning on mine and wished I could have joined you, but there you go. Glad you had a good time and maybe next one I'll be there.
