Brecon Tour by BMW R1200GS - Part 2

The second part of my tour of the Brecon Beacons by BMW R1200GS - An unbeatable place to ride if you get good weather (as I did!).....

[@TriumphRascal]

I ride these roads at least once a year when visiting my brother in west Wales and never get tired of it. You had better weather than I did today (29/04/2015). Another good video well done.

Triumph Rascal Cheers matey ;0) - The weather makes all the difference doesn't it....

[@jonathandavies6811]

Another great video, really enjoyed watching! Living in South Wales we are truly lucky to have these amazing roads on the doorstep! Enjoy the rest of your trip!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Jonathan Davies Thanks for your kind words Jonathan, you are indeed lucky to live there! (except for the rain of course)...

[@robertbates1079]

Some of my favourite local spin roads, revisiting these videos as we're on lock down for a few more weeks, and I'm only using my bike to commute.... soon be back! Well done tmf.

[@M4BoarBiker]

Another great video, a pity you didn't continue towards Pen y Fan mountain you would have come to a sharp left hand bend with Terry's hotdog stand parked there. Always a ton of bikes there and in my view the most spectacular view in the Beacons. Enjoying the vids. off to watch part 3 now... Good stuff...

[@n22pdf]

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Pete Franks Thanks Pete - I love the RNineT, awesome looking machine and I hear nothing but great reviews....enjoy and ride safe!

Cadbury Lover Hey Cadbury Lover - good to hear from you again - you out on the bike yet?

[@marksmith8663]

Just seen your mid Wales video . My favourite biking place if I didn't live so near N Wales I don't know if I would bother owning a motorcycle anymore . As Wales still look after the roads . I would highly recommend (the grange b&b) in brecon It's my ex brother-in-law b&b . If you're ever back there .

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I intend to go back ASAP - will bear it in mind!

[@Zerodghjj]

Now I am the proud owner of a Triumph Tiger XRX 800, just completing 500 miles, so I can have my first oil change, then after a two week holiday in Northumberland and the Scottish borders, I will hopefully be off touring, in the south west too start with then farther a field. regards, Colin.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

colin clewley Nice bike - reading lots of good reviews.....exciting times! Enjoy.....

[@johnsumser9743]

I think the general rule about mountains and hills is that hills are rounder, with flat tops while mountains are steeper with little top surface. You can see the range of interpretations this definition opens up.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Sounds good to me!

[@clivetaylor6383]

I’m lucky in that these roads are right on my doorstep, if you ride them again, you need to stop at the West End Cafe in Llandovery, it’s a renown biker cafe, or just a bit further in is the Owls Nest another brilliant biker stop.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes several have mentioned those Clive - what's the betting I don't remember them next time!!!

[@handsfree1000]

Can’t understand why this trip was split into so many episodes? Very enjoyable nonetheless a specially since I’ve done this trip

[@Ched42]

0:51 That is where the Green Man Festival is held

[@larrycrazysheepdavies]

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

colin clewley Hi Colin, good to hear from you again - depends what's around really, on this occasion I stayed in a hotel just outside Bristol - agree with you that these are some of the best roads in the UK, fabulous to ride when the weather is right....cheers - TMF

[@sunseeker8457]
