why the **** have good things always gotta be followed by bad things, and i mean always. i missed sundays rideout because i was feeling like sh1t and spewing up so i didnt go. so i decided to go for a spin today, it was meant to be me and rvf-matt but he had his girl pants on as usual and didnt come.
so all is well and my bike is polished up rom saturday as i was on a cleaning mission so i thought it would be the ideal time to take sum pics. heres the first few from the brecon beacons, fcuking lovely roads and a even lovlier view:
now i dont normally go on big rideouts on my own my own for the main reason that i have about as much sense of direction as a deaf bat. so its no suprise that i got completely lost. i was meant to go to abergavenny which isnt a huge distance but a nice run non the less. but somehow i manage to turn off to go through builth wells which have sum bitching twisties which i must say i enjoyed. i stopped off to take these pics, id just like to say at this point that i do recall a slight sort of buzzing noise but i assumed it was because i forgot to put earplugs in and my ears where doing that sort of sound they do when u have wind noise:
so from there i head down into llandsumminorother village where i stop to get fuel, when i jump off my bike im still hearing a faint buzzing noise and still assume its because i forgot the earplugs. so after asking the guy in the petrol station where the **** i was i headed down to llandovery which i know quite well. the 27 miles or whatever it was from llandsumminorother to llandovery were the worst 27 miles in my life, i think there was only 2 occasions where the low lying sun wasnt bouncing off the moist road and into my eyes.
by the time i got off my bike in llandovery i had the biggest headache ever. another thing which wasnt normal when i got off my bike was the large amount of smoke coming from under my seat. hmmmmm i said to myself as i realise that the slight buzzing in my ear had turned into the sort of scream u hear when a kettle boils, i realise that the buzzing wasnt in my head but coming from my battery. as i take my seat off which is a mission in its own im greeted by a face full of steam and spitting acid. it seems my battery has had a bit of a fit, i assume the regulator has said goodnight and comopletely fried my battery. so i disconnected it all and left it for 30 min to cool down:
so after leaving the battery cool down for 30min i wire it back up and my bike starts first time. as i was leaving llandovery i seen a blade getting leathered up ready to go so i gave him a nod. so as im riding back everything is fine until i get back to the start off brecon where theres some temporary lights, i decide to turn my bike off to let everything chill while i waited, at this point the blade pulls up behind me, he notices the smoke coming from under my seat and i tell him its alright i think my regulators wombles.
so as i go to start my bike do u think it started. would it ****. so blade guy jumps off his bike and offers to bump my bike so i turn my bike round and it bumps, yes i think to myself. so i turn the bike back round and put it on the stand so i could pick my gloves etc up, as i jump off my bike my boot gets caught in gear selector and knocks it into first which stalls my bike. so i thought **** it and chucked all my kit on and he bumps it again. as he was going my way he said hed follow me home to check its alright.
so the light change again and we pull off. we both give it some off the lights and all is going fine till about 1000 yards up the road were my bike decides to lose all power and comes to a very backfirery stop.
i had given up at this point so i just parked the bike up at the side of the road and blade guy stays with me. i rung for a pickup and it was gonna be like 2 hours so i said to blade guy dont worry about it carry on. fair play he stayed till i got picked up which was about 2 hours and it was absolutely ****ing freezing, ive never been that cold in my life. all i can say if ur reading this blade guy is complete and utter respect, for some1 i had never met before id be suprosed if my best mate waited 2 hours in that weather let alons some1 i dont know. if i ever see u out u can have more than a pint, ill buy u drinks all night
but are,nt you glad you have two wheel,s when s**t happen,s even if it,s terminal on a cold day someone will stop and see if you,re ok.
