I turn off the busy road and take a short cut through a wooded area.

After a late breakfast we take a wander around the car park and check out some of the bikes.

This is the second half of the run up to the cafe at a much better pace. We still get left for dust by an Aprilia though, but it's more about the scenery and looking out for pot holes, sheep and North   more...Wales Police than keeping up with the litre bikes :)  less

I discovered a great road by accident on my way home the previous day so decided to revisit it on the bike. I talk about the first instalment in an on-going saga with my cable provider and how I think   more...I may have been caught speeding in the car. Check out the cloud formations over the water, they were really strange.  less

I decided to throw the camera in to capture the views and ended up capturing a minor near miss. I then go on to talk about a thread I was reading on a bike forum debating whether or not to ride with your   more...lights on in the daytime.  less

Just a short filler video of a few bits and bob's thrown into Quicktime Pro to keep continuity of my Sunday ride

Seems crazy that with the latest radar technology they still can't get the short range weather forecast right in the UK. Last year any muppet could have said it would rain and be right but that tactic   more...isn't going to plan this year for the BBC weather centre.  less

I talk about the logistics of riding to work on the bike and a new update on the Mac mini saga.

Sorry to keep you all waiting, I know it's been a long time but I didn't get the bike back home until yesterday so today was the first opportunity I've had to fit the exhaust. But the day finally arrived   more...so I hope you enjoy the video as it's taken me all day to fit it due to obstacles and the weather.  less

I talk about a Spinal Tap moment that happened at work recently, personal development and using a usb SD card reader in place of the v570 dock whilst away from home. I apologise for the picture quality   more...in this one, for some reason when I encoded using the h.264 codec it stuttered on play back (I tried all types of settings but it turns out the embedded pics were causing the problem) . So I had to use the MPEG4 encoder instead which resulted in a lower resolution to keep the files size below 200MB.  less

Out for a Sunday afternoon ride, I talk about a bug splatter clean up operation, potentially pulling my back again and how my neighbour's barking dogs have made my life a misery over the last week.

Another tribute to the 650 Yamaha verticle twin motorcycle.

On my way to Stafford I talk about haircuts and pay a visit to Izaak Walton's 17th Century thatched cottage. Info about Izaak Walton can be found <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izaak_Walton">   more...here</a>  less

I ask about other people's v570 transfer speeds and talk about my first motorcycle experiences. The XL185 was a Honda model, when I said Suzuki (Freudian slip) I was thinking of my friend's Suzuki TS185.   more...It was a long time ago and they were both yellow :P  less

On my way to meet up with another local Bros owner I talk about the satellite TV signal problem I'm getting at my parents place on cloudy and rainy days, personalised license plates and the incorrect   more...allocation of a huge sum of money due to an administrative cockup - <a target="_blank" href="http://www.metro.co.uk/news/article.html?in_article_id=98900&in_page_id=34"> article here</a>  less

I talk about abusing my parents' Internet connection through LV, how a local town wants to change which country it sits in <a target="_blank" href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/7364464.stm">   more... article and video link here</a> and <a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/swipe"> twitter</a>  less

I talk about my upcoming MOT test and how I've always wanted to take a hot air balloon ride.

Took the bike out for a short spin before the day started to get too hot. I make my way over to Tyrley Locks to shoot my next canal vid. Lots and lots of bikes out today.

I talk about the long winter, the outrageous price of fuel and how it is having a noticeable effect on the roads, my expenditure and the upcoming local elections here in the UK.

(Edited to add: I meant   more...it cost me £30 to fill the tank when I first got the car over 3 years ago, but has risen 30% in the last 12 months).  less

enjoy the ride.....soon be on mine......the new kawasaki er6f in green

Taken from "U.S. Marshalls." Enjoy, peeps!!

I briefly show you my camera set up and my makeshift choke cable fix. I then go on to talk about independent petrol stations and their decline and how my father, as an apprentice welder, once had a petrol   more...tank blow up in his face.  less

This series is probably the last of the 'on the bike' vids for this season. I go back home again the following day (with my keys this time) to pick up my battery charger and to lube my chain.

I talk about how I hope to have broadband enabled at my parents house whilst I am there and how I believe the wheel bearings are on their way out on my car.
