I nearly dropped the van today !! It was up on two wheels needless to say my pants turned a dark shade of brown !!!!!

One of my friends uses ratchet straps to tie his bike down in the garden to stop the wind blowing it over in high winds .
I'm lucky as mine is all nice and warm and dry in the garage :-)

The vans are fitted with video recorders .
So if the put the vid on the wall off fame/shame I will take a clip of it .

It wasn't a wheelie both the near side wheels were off the ground !! And I had to give a big yank on the wheel to the right to get it back down .
Yes I sh1t myself :-(

The storms are coming across and going to hit the East tonight. It's been really windy here today so it must be full on gales and torrential rain coming tonight.
