Triumph Scrambler 400x - Llangollen (Horseshoe Pass) road trip

[@rottieman347]

I use beeswax furniture polish on my visor every time I finish a ride. Been using it for over 50 years. It makes wiping the wet visor so much easier. When in heavy rain, a simple turn of the head is usually enough to clear it. I'll have to explore that route to Glynn Ceriog. Another great video

That's a great tip, thanks! I've been using the Rainoff stuff, and it's really hit and miss, so I'll definitely give that a go. The Glynn Ceriog route is stunning. It's my favourite short ride for sure. Thanks again for tuning in 👍

I'm not going to react everytime, but again a nice video about the countryside. Been to Wales a couple of times by car. Hope to visit it on a bike sometime. First get my licence (58 years of age), and may be buy a Scrambler 400X, high on my list...🙂

[@NewRiderDiaries]

Thanks again for tuning in, appreciate it 🙏 nice one for getting your licence sorted and I would highly recommend the 400x..it's such a great bike. Really versatile and such great fun. I don't think you can go wrong with one tbh. All the best and maybe I'll see you out and about around Wales on a 400x soon 😀👍

I also live local, was all around that area on Sunday. Chirk, Llangollen, Trevor, Glyn ceirog. Went down some of the dodgiest farm tracks lol. Went on the panoramic view over Llangollen too when the sun comes out. Well, a bit

[@NewRiderDiaries]

@AnonyMooseUK that's brilliant, mate. We live in such a great area for biking! This route is one of my favourites for sure, and I have experienced a few dodgy farm tracks around here too lol. I went over the top from Glyn Ceirog to Llangollen the other day, and it was scary!! Wish I had my camera that day 😂😂

[@AnonyMooseUK]

@@NewRiderDiaries that's the route I took on the way back. Sat nav packed up half way and I went for miles on that long straight road at the top, until it got really hairy muddy farm tracks. Made it back though. Like you say, living here is epic. I had two weekends around Snowdonia during the sunny days. Strangling my 125cc 😁

Nice bike!

[@NewRiderDiaries]

Sure is!

[@samc12345]

You didn't say why you were going to decathlon! 😂

[@NewRiderDiaries]

I get distracted 😂 I went for thermals and a waterpoof! Both were a bargain and performe well 👍

[@surfindaddio]

Can you let me know the make and where you got your rear seat bag please? Cheer. Tim

Kriega Drypack US-5 👍

[@ewanneilson4314]

Do you need an A2 licence to ride this bike or is it an A licence?

[@NewRiderDiaries]

It's A2 compliant! If I had an A2 license, the Scrambler (or the Speed 400) would be top of my list 👍

[@legel93]

A2 is under 400cc or under 35kw, I think this bike is over 35kw but 398cc so yes!
