A loop out of Plealey

Wales, 2026, and the Hornet CB1000SP is ready for Shropshire. Back on the B4386 past Fron, scenery just rolling by. Leaning out onto Minsterley Road, leaving the village behind. …another day in the life of the Scripting Paddy. Mind how you go.

Wales, 2026, and the Hornet CB1000SP is ready for Shropshire.

Powys roads in July, and the Hornet is purring away on the A470 at Llandinam. Newton’s Pool Road, leaning nineteen degrees at forty-six, just a tick under the usual forty-seven beat. Holding sixteen degrees on the exit, letting the CB1000SP settle before another day in the life of the Scripting Paddy. Mind how you go.

Wales, 2026, Honda Hornet CB1000SP in hand. A44 at 47, keeping pace with itself. 47 on the A44, faster than the usual 44. Back at Llangurig, 45 on the A44, typical.

Ceredigion in July, Ponterwyd on the A44, holding a steady 46. Antaron Avenue in Llanfarian is gentle today, just 30 with a 12-degree drift. Back to Ponterwyd on the A44 at 44, leaning 14 degrees into the rhythm.

Sliding through Llanfarian on the A485, just a whisper above 42. Llanon’s Stryd Fawr slows us to 25, deep into the 15-degree lean. Aberaeron’s A487 keeps it gentle at 18, leaning 10 degrees. ...another day in the life of the Scripting Paddy. Mind how you go.

Aberaeron on the North Road, crawling at twenty-three - proper gentle for this stretch. The scenery opens up on the A487 - nice view. Henfynyw on the A487, forty-two mph - right on the typical beat. ...another day in the life of the Scripting Paddy. Mind how you go.

Tresaith, A487, peak 42 against the oncomers. Aberteifi, leaning 22 degrees for that overtake on the A487. Back through Tresaith village on the A487, Honda Hornet CB1000SP humming away. ...another day in the life of the Scripting Paddy. Mind how you go.

Hornet CB1000SP underfoot, rolling through Newport's West Street. Main Street in Fishguard and Goodwick, crawling at 16, much slower than usual. Croes-goch on the A487, holding 46, a bit quicker than the 42 we usually do. Dinas Cross ahead, still on the A487, scenery rolling by.

Sliding down the Llanrhian Road at Croes-goch, 45 is a beat slower than usual, but I don't mind. Cornering into Llanrhian, letting the Honda Hornet CB1000SP find its own rhythm. Just taking in the scenery out here in Llanrhian, nothing fancy, just peace. ...another day in the life of the Scripting Paddy. Mind how you go.

Wolf’s Castle, slow roll, 38, a bit gentler than usual. Casnewydd-Bach, 45, right on the beat for the Hornet. Puncheston, B4329 opening up, feel the power. Junction at Henry’s Moat, 39, slowing for the road. …another day in the life of the Scripting Paddy. Mind how you go.

Wales, July 2026, Pembrokeshire, and the Honda Hornet CB1000SP is awake on the Fishguard Road. Scenery at Eglwyswrw, still on the B4329, and the pace settles back to its usual happy medium. An overtake at Eglwyswrw on the A487, and I nudge the speed just a smidge faster. The Hornet hums, the Pembrokeshire air fills the helmet, and the ride feels right.

Wales, July 2026, and the Hornet CB1000SP is purring on the A487 through Llangrannog. Now weaving through Tresaith on the same old A487, keeping things fluid. Lingering in the Tresaith scenery, letting the road and the bike have their say. …another day in the life of the Scripting Paddy.

Starting on the B4337 in Llanrhystud with the Hornet CB1000SP, feeling a gentler 36 mph beat than usual. Rolling into the village of Llanon on the A487, keeping it gentle at just 33 mph. Back in Llanon on the A487, really slowing to a gentle 27 mph in the scenery.
