Biker Down (not bad)..Hero to the rescue....

Well me actually ;-)

Quite a strange story and now I`m home and safe makes me go Hmmmmmm....what
if....


Was taking the Muell out for test ride #178 and needed the hole in the wall,
so I go to the local superstore (Sainsbury) to find that the powers that be
have changed all the ATM`s from Barclay/Nationwide/HSBC to there own make
I.E Sainsbury`s bank.

Now what happens is when one fucks-up, the lot go down!!!!
So I trundle into town to find my generic/own brand hole in the wall and
succeed in drawing cash.

Then exiting the one-way system I notice a road is closed for repairs and
divert to the suggested route.

Turning a corner there is a yellow/black Triumph TT600 on it`s side with the
rider talking to a scote (YES he has got a baseball cap on sideways!!) about
the incident.

It appears the biker was riding along with lights on minding his own
business when scrote notices the Off-licence is open and pulls across the
road into the path of the Triumph!!!!!!

The owner of the offy and a pedestrian witness both see this.

I pull over on Muell just as the scote is leaving and ask the
normal..."Alright Mate" "Witness`s" "Damage"?

He`s OK but the bike won`t start so he`s buggered:-(
Indicators smashed and a trickle of oil but nothing major.
His light`s are fading out and the battery is flat.

After talking to the offy owner and confirming the details and talking to
the pedestrian and getting more confirmation ...I come up with a plan.

From the crash site I know there is a motor-factor`s around the corner and
down the hill about 400yrds away.
So I tell him to kill all electrics and push it down the hill to this shop
an` I`ll meet him there.

We meet and I ask if he`s willing to buy a cheap set of jump-leads if it
means he can ride home? No Problem.

We go into the shop and while he`s looking for cheap`n`nasty jump leads I
listen to the owner talking to a customer about his recently purchased car.

"Have you got jump leads with it?" I ask ;-)

"Dunno" he replies..........We go out and check then I give him the story
about Downed Triumph......MR Speedy/Trev`d up/Boy racer gives Triumph a jump
start!!!Hey Result.

Triumph fires...runs...I thank MR Speedy and offer to follow Triumph home as
he said he was local......which I do.....

ALMOST to my front door!!!!!!

The guy lives 300yrds away from me!!!

All because Sainsbury hole in the wall ran out of cash today...

Hmmmmmmmm....When a butterfly beats it`s wings in China.
