Oh well, at least I don't have to worry...

....about scratching the GTR any more.

Because it's just been Fiat Puntod.

Filtering past stationary traffic, and matey decides to lurch out sans
indicator, looking, or brain. As I was alongside him.

His offside[1] front wing made contact with my nearside[1] pannier,
scuffing it. And stoving the wing in.

Through a feat of enormous skill and blind luck I stayed on the bike.

Luckily the guy in the Tuffnells truck that I'd just passed stopped,
called the driver an effing muppet, and gave me his details. I do like
friendly witnesses. Thanks mate!

Aunty Carole has been informed, and we'll see what matey's got to say
when I find out what a repair will cost.

Remember that lifestyle coach thing...

Infuriating. Commiserations, old chap.I think you're being quite
restrained in the circumstances.

That expression of sympathy, heartfelt as it is, is totally
unconnected with the fact that I was rather hoping to have a go on
said machine the next time I saw you.

 

"Faark", presumably.

Do try to keep the thing rideable, at least until I've had my go.

Good to hear you remained master of your domain, at least.

Heh. I was on his right.

Actually, it doesn't matter. He wasn't looking in any direction.

Oh dear.

Good.

 

Well held.

 

FFS!!

Have you been going round stamping on four-leaf clovers?

 

Congrats, or something like that .

 

It wasn't an X regd light metallic green one, was it? Young blonde
girl who can barely see through the steering wheel?

 

It would've been a wonderful test of his surgeons mechanical aptitude
though.
