Those of you familiar with the Dovey Loop in Mid Wales will know the route from the Cross Foxes pub and down towards the sea over the Talyllyn Lake. It is a steep sided valley with a long road on the side.
A few years ago, I was sat on my Honda VF750 at a traffic light (roadworks) facing up the valley, when a Phantom F4 came at 90* through the top gap at about 20' and leveled out below the level of the road. I flashed my headlamp at him as he came towards me (v. fast) and as he flew past the Nav looked at me and a white goved hand gave me the V sign as they sped past about 40 feet away. WOW! Silly grin day or what?
