Je suis un Richard!

[StewartR]

Went for a 10 day trip to visit me folks in Greece, got back and went to get the bike out for a fix. Where's me keys? Looked, looked, looked...hang on...yep, in the ignition...which is turned on...D'oh. Grabbed some jump leads, ( eventually ) fired her up and headed for the second nearest petrol station, figuring the longer run would put some juice in the cells. Ran out of petrol. Double d'oh!

Got home, garaged the bike, walked to the pub.

Sorry, but that made me laugh.

Given that bad luck comes in 3's, I assume you also lost your wallet in the pub?

Funny as

Third bit of bad luck was that the weather was bloody lovely for about 3 hours after I garaged the bike. At least I hope that was the third bit - Last time I had a dead battery on a bike the alarm battery failed and I had to de-wire the fecker - easy once I'd sussed where it was tapped into the loom but man could I do without ever repeating that chore.

Still, at least I know what that read light really means now - it mean's 'Fill me the f#ck up - NOW!'

Best way to learn is through your mistakes

Sorry, but it is kinda funny though. Best of luck next time!

Count your blessings the bike was in your garage and not out on the street.

Haha - yes, I laughed too.

For reasons I won't bore you with (not least cos they'd sound like 'No really, I'm not a total tw@!'), I'd have missed the flat battery bit if the bike had been on the street. Obv I'd still have run out of petch...Actually I may be a total tw@

Sounds like you'd have missed the bike altogether had it been on the street....
