Mobile tyre service

https://www.trustedtyres.co.uk/ If you're in this chaps catchment area and need tyres I recommend Jon's company. Had a rear puncture and as both tyres were reaching the end of their useful life opted to replace the pair. Came today and did the work. Punctual , friendly and a good price. Plenty of po...

I will leave it till the end of the month, to give other a say as to what date is best for them and everyone.
It would be nice to get a 6+ size group of us together.
If its any help, I'm not fussed if its raining or dry.

Re: South West & South Wales Area

Hello all, I was just thinking if there are any members who would like to meet up for a coffee and a ride out. There are some great roads around the Brecon area to ride. But if anyone else has a thought on where and when, post it on here. I was thinking of meeting up in mid May at Abber Bus Station...

Re: What did you do today?

Picked up a nail in the rear tyre this morning, noticed after a drop in the tyre monitors pressure on the dash. Got home and tried to plug it with a rats tail, no joy. As both tyres are nearing the end of their useful life have arranged a recommended mobile tyre fitter to replace both on friday. Off...

Won't start unless i turn ...

Re: Battery Life

Re: 2024 Annual (UK) RT Meet

Sadly David you might not have a lot of luck with this request. Most of the serial attendees are committed Michael's meet up in July. If there's no interest then possibly best to concentrate on the 2025 meet which hopefully the usual suspects will be available for (and some new faces).

I'm in the Picos mid may but if your plans change to early May then I'd be keen on meeting up somewhere around the Brecons.
