Why do you have joy of driving cars arround these roads!!?? They are not made for four wheels only 2! Cars are the main reason for so many bikers deaths on these roads!
We are not telling you where to go but you 4 wheel fools should keep off the bikers teritory!

Keh?

[nick francis]

the reason for so many biker fatalities is probably more to do with their excessive speed and poor anticipation/ control than it is to do with sharing the road with cars

Nice part of the world. Love it up there.

[nick francis]

thankfully most of the biker community seem to appreciate the fast car community on North Wales roads , as the car drivers reciprocate

last time on a run my mate John (in his Exige)and I (in my elise) were followed by a fast bike for several miles.. we wondered why he was sitting there and were even more suspicious when, in the next town he motioned to my mate they should stop and have a chat. turned out he wasnt plod but he'd just bought an exige and he wanted to compare notes!!

Here in North Wales we enjoy fantastic countryside and some of our roads are just incredible. the road from Bala to Trawsfynydd for example.. just do it..

Travelled a lot with work up there. Always pull over when in the van and some nice kit comes up behind enjoying it. Also like the road up from Caernavon through Llanberis to Capel Curig (mainly the view) then really stuck for choise, or should I have turned off at Pen Y Gwryd? Oh the joy of no boss in the van but as long as I get there on time.
PS Seiont Manor hotel, Llanrug very nice.

Sion+Ben, it's "Glyders" (Or have they been covered in gold leaf recently?).
Also, isn't most of that road wide and straight? Most of the twisty bits (Near Tryfan/Ogwen) coincide with the usual poor parking of numptie tourists, and would not be the best place for rapid biking.

Keep it shiney side up.

Lovely roads. Old home stomping ground. Still pass by some of those roads on the way to visit my parents.

BTW: I think the original post was some young trolls. I saw it but did not reply. Notice nobody did for a few days and so they probably got bored and stopped looking to see if they'd got a response.

Lets you know..don't feed the trolls..really works.

Spot on Don, couldn't resist. Must try harder!

Spent many years climbing in Snowdonia, great area.
