Trying to have a couple of weeks off work then a client decides to eat last night fish & chips smeared with mouldy strawberries then sits in street having a rant at neighbours being :sick:

Ambulance crew decide best take him in to completely jam packed hospital - so up to 2pm in A&E as work colleague on call decides not to answer her phone.

Now he's finally admitted just in time for lunch on the ward, and he's right as rain he now wants to go home - but docs want the whole caboodle of social services assessments, physio assessments and home assessments.

That'll learn him!

Not being able to ride because of a single bolt, and having to wait for said bolt to arrive because I can't buy one locally.

Frustrating.

Try a piece of wood?
I saw a picture of a mod on here recently using a piece of wood.
The main advantage being lack of corrosion

Not annoyed just a weird one

I'd finaly got my client discharged from hospital and back at home and returning from the sunny coast after settling him back in. Travelling back along a roller coaster bit of recently resurfaced / gravelled road when a multistrada (early) appeared in my mirrors when he decided to give it beanz & overtake me and a stretch of cars into a blind dip with double white lines, then when he was just past me bits of his bike fell off! Looked like a mirror casing or sumfink - I watch it clatter to the ground and he jammed his anchors on, front wheel skidded and looking back in my mirrors see him thankfuly still upright but 180 degrees in the road :crazy: . For a moment I wondered if he''d clobbered me when passing but looking over my bike all my bits were still there. I hope he was okay and presumably he got to the Wednesday night Gt Bentley green bike meet where a few bikes about were also heading.

Most peculiar.

A feking camera van parked up on an over pass above the dual carriageway that takes me onto the A2 this morn...

I did see it & throttled right off...but was I in time ?

I was trucking on a bit as you do but kind of fortunately an ambulance on blues & twos had come off the roundabout behind me, so I slowed down & let it pass then followed it...It of course left at the next junction, which just happens to be on a bend with the overpass just after it...

It is national speed limit so maybe just maybe by the time I was under the bridge I was slow enough...

I'll find out when/if the NIP plops on the matt...wont go down well as I've just done a speed awarness course... :roll:

Still the small & dirty number plate may have a bearing on things... :lol:

Hmmm, bits falling off an early Multistrada. You call that peculiar?
