what a day

Post by warby221 »

Bike was going for its mot at 10am it’s been of the road since I found the broken spigot on the crank case

Wake up at 8am winds howling 8O

9am starts to rain winds driving the rain horizontal :?

9:30am it starts to hail still got the strong winds
Start thinking is some one trying to tell me some thing?
Set off for the mot it’s stopped hailing but im being blown from one side of the road to the other and there are still hail stones all over the place very greasy :x

Get to the garage im freezing cold and its only 2 mile down the road
Walk in to the garage “I’ve come for a mot” get a look like are you mad guys looking out the window behind me I look its started snowing heavily now :cry:
Start thinking what’s next the frogs or plague of locusts :x

Guy looks p*ssed of and heads out in to the snow to get the bike

20 minutes later “it’s past” just a few bits needed headlight aim was way to high as I’ve put the forks back to there original height and back brake pads a bit low and that was it

What a day

No speed limit no mot and no moral obligation to avoid partners who may be in your immediate family. (you might have guessed that i'm not born and bred - but I am proud!) :lol: :wink:

too much lopping off things for my tastes.

all you need is to be wandering past a myopic vet on a naturist beach and you're in a whole world of trouble.
