    Buggeration

    Turning right at a T Junction I hit some diesel and lost the back end
    and dropped the bike this morning on the way in to work. Lots of
    damage too it looks like it hit the kerb before it stopped and broke
    the hanger for the rear foot rest which also has the rear brake master
    cylinder on it. Plenty of other scuffs and scratches too. Still just
    about driveable but not legally.

    No chance of getting it fixed before Christmas so I'm on the trains
    for the next few weeks.

    You're right - what I need is a cheap winter hack.

    Some people get a kick out of that kind of thing, maybe TOG would be
    happier if he also had to wear a highly restrictive rubber suit as part
    of his duties.

    Looks like they both learned the same lesson, then: if you haven't had
    to pay for it, there's no fucking point in looking after it, either.
    Cos some daft bastard will pick up the bill.

    You can't blame a man for trying the "Bear Defence".
