    Well, it had to happen...

    Trying to get to work at some ungodly hour this morning, I wheel the
    Pan out of the garage. FFS, that's hard to push, can't remember it was
    that hard to push yesterday night. Brakes seized? Ah fuggit, I'll have
    a look tonight, just ride it to work now. But before I set off, let's
    check the tyre pressures...

    Front checks out OK, back tyre is at 52psi? How did that happen? Have
    a look at the pump again, no, 52psi is the indicator for the maximum
    pressure allowed, the reason I wasn't seeing the actual tyre pressure
    is that it's close to 5psi. Grope around in the dark, yep, flat tyre.
    Arse. 5:10 and I've got to be at work before 6:00...

    At least the Bimota got me to work with a few minutes to spare, but I
    *hate* riding that in the damp.

    That'll be cabs to work for the next two days then...

    Serves you right for not putting Ultraseal in it. I've got a spare
    bottle....

    PeterT was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:
    1% Talent and 99% hard work.

    Oh, and I'm not the one paying for the cabs anyway...

    There really is no hope for you is there?

    Bugger, and I so wanted one of those too.

    There was never any doubt, was there?

    Ah well, 1 1/2 weeks, not too bad...
    Oi! Next time stick 'em in in such a way that the damage can be
    repaired, OK? Because this one looks rather close to the edge.

    At least I've found the source of the crunching noise I heard
    on the way home yesterday...

    I am relatively new here but would I be right in assuming from the comments
    of other that you are the motorcycle equivalent of "Only Fools and Horses'"
    Uncle Albert (His Navel Years).

    You are *so* right. If Timo went to sea on an iceberg, it would sink.

    Oh no, don't, please. He bought a Honda Prelude with the first ever
    fucked gearbox I came across in 20 years of seeing Hondas.

    I remember that. He gave me a lift in it.

    It was brown, IIRC.
