My best biking memory, is travelling the B4407 when an Osprey came from nowhere, and flew just a couple of feet from my bars at head height for a good mile or so

So I just bought a 2024 1000 GT and I get 196 mi out of my tank and that's riding in A mode but not always in town. That's also testing it from the south coast of England to Inverness in Scotland. I think you must be pretty throttle happy if you are not getting 160, mi or more at your tank.

Biking wasn't for me. I couldn't cope with all the heavy leathers, armour and lugging a helmet about when you reached your destination. Everyone's in sunglasses and shorts and you're there dressed like Darth Vader on the hottest day of the year lol. I didn't feel fully comfortable on a bike either. I was always aware that if I came off, something on the bike broke or a car hit me, it could be curtains or a 12 month stint in hospital. It just wasn't for me because I'm obviously not a biker. The best transport for me on a trip like that would be a classic convertible. Shorts, t-shirt, the wind in my hair and enough room in the boot for a spare t-shirt and a few bottles of beer. Nice ride. 👍

Did the road both ways at the weekend. It is indeed a good ride, with good clean tarmac. I continued cross the A5 heading to Denbigh, another great road a little less challenging.

Technically you were outside of the national park at the beginning of your video but further along the B4407 at the turning for Penmachno you were inside it. Anyone visiting please watch out for sheep as they do roam free and often lie on the roads over the moors hence the cattle grids.. and hitting one at 80 would be quite messy.

You should try the B4406 which is just off that road to the left. It’s the same sort of road but with much better scenery.

Good video, enjoyed that. Was up through there yesterday on the bike but couldn't linger as had to get to Aberystwyth. A couple of months has certainly made a big difference to the vegetation - everything is a lot greener and you can't see through some of the corners like you could (also some fabulous banks of bluebells). Defo visor down - bugs everywhere! I didn't know about the car park and toilets over the top dam - and didn't cross it - useful info. There's a 'green lane' goes off round one of the reservoirs from one of these carparks... Is it from that top carpark? Have subscribed. M.
