Chimay and ukrm feckwits (longish)

Wimp! I managed nearly 60 on the clock, with Dodger screaming like a
girl on the pillion seat.

Yes, I'd forgotten that. That was *really* funny.

 

given that it was a sealed battery...

 

*Class*

 

Yes, had that one Easter back about 1973 on a T500R, riding from
the Australian Grand Prix at Bathurst to a mate's 21st in Maitland.
Bloody thing ran better with more load on the charger so I was pottering
down desolate dirt roads with my brake-lights on to keep the engine
firing. As you say, indicators around intersections were ...interesting.

Actually I didn't drink much of that, a red, a blue, and the rest of the
time I was on cooking lager.

So I'm blaming the acid.

 

When I saw him last he was being escorted off the motorway (M20) by the
Highways Agency.

 

Was he putting up a fight?

 

<G> Lucky bugger. Mind you, it's only 20kph over the limit.

 

Eh ? !

 

I did get out onto the public road but I looked the wrong way and nearly
threw the lot in front of Peugeot - well I did but fortunately the
Peugeot driver hadn't had the best part of two bottles of wine so no harm
done.

My passengers - one quite skimpily attired - screamed a bit.

We then set off up the public road and I saw much Armco and started
whimpering [1]. Returning to the campsite saw me stuck in a small swamp.

I think I may get another outfit.


[1] Girl in sidecar: "What's the matter baby?"

 

I don't know why. I didn't bother stopping.

 

Probably for the best. He might have expected you to admit that you
know him.

 

actually it was on the way back I decided to bail.

almost hitting a car on the way out [1], almost hitting the kerb on
turning round, almost hitting a post on the way back in and finally
getting it stuck in some mud did it for me.

[1] look the right way next time huh!

An excellent point Madam and if I may be so bold as to say, brilliantly
put.

 

Some of those were intentional.

 

Lying toerag.

The rear axle had unwound itself sufficiently to allow the wheel to drift
clear of the splines. Suddenly the gearbox appeared full of false neutrals.
Obviously this wasn't the case, so I dived off onto the hard shoulder, dug
out a couple of spanners and retightened the thing. Then I noticed a biker
pulled over a couple of hundred yards up the road, so I drove up to see if
he needed help. Turned out to be some looney with an ancient black oily
heap of a bike who'd stopped for a nosey. Then the black and tans turned up
to chase off the rubbernecker. I managed to convince them not to arrest
him - I think they were more impressed by my forebearance and magnanimity
than anything else - then sent him packing, and drove off myself.

 

Just don't try to ford anything with it - remember what happened to the last
turbo you did that with. And there's many more flooded roads around your
vicinity now.

 

Please tell me haven't *just* got home.

Apologies for the Eurotunnel ****-up.
