lost time...

Post by MacV2 »

So today I took the cage to a workshop to get the brakes sorted, new discs & pads & some other stuff to get it through an MOT...

No feckin courtesy car so had to hop on a bus...

It took me less than 15mins to drive from home.

Waited nearly 30 mins for a bus... Over an hour to get back to Grain Central...

You have a magical mystery tour of the local villages to get from A to B... BAH !

Worst thig is, apart from paying for it, is I'll have to do the bus again to pick it up...

Might have to try and blag a lift...

Have you not got one of those e-bicycles Mac near you like I see dotted about down here for hire? you could shove that in the car after picking it to drop it off at the drop-off point :problem: :lol:

Although blagging a lift would be easier I'm sure :D

Maybe one of those electric micro scooters?
I can envision you now, flying down the high street with the wind in you hair, fag hanging out your mouth and not a care in the world for the highway code :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Isn't that his usual Firestorm riding style?
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
