Hey Everyone,
I hope you ready for part two!!
In Part Two, you see Michael, Clifford and I travel by the small 125ccs to Shell Island from Bala Lake, our destination for the night!
All day we had wonderful weather on our side, perfect riding conditions!
I was soooo gutted that the camera didnt record straight after Bala Lake as we had the MOST fun, literally crying in our helmets with laughter! Hey ho, there are still plently of good moments that I was able to capture :)
I hope you enjoy it!

You forget how much of a hoot these little bikes can be, some of the best times I had were on my Honda SS50 back in the 70’s, an absolute legend of a little machine.

Reminds me of a trip I did nearly fifty years ago, to west Wales. The bikes were my Triumph 500, a BSA Starfire and BSA Bantam (I think!). I still have the old WW2 Army tent I bought for the trip (£6.00), I had to cut the tent poles in half in order to carry them. We tended to use racks, panniers and tank bags rather then haversacks. Glad you enjoyed it. I still have an old Triumph but use a Herald 250 as my wife won't let me buy anything bigger!

Doing trips like this on a 125 is a battle everything’s against you, suspension bottoming out due to the weight, wind trying to take you into the green stuff, speed or lack of it lol BUT it makes the whole experience more rewarding and adds an extra element to it that makes it special and an accomplishment, I love the big bikes but the 125 has captured my heart.
