Getting on the bike after a missing a couple of weeks. :P

Yes it was icy. :(

Yes I had a draught coming under my lid causing the left side of my face to freeze :( , but that did keep that side of the visor clear :??? .

Yes my finger tips were getting cold, the heated grips kept my palms hot but for the first time I was feeling the cold.


And YES, YES, oh YES it was great. :P :2up :P

When you have had a full day on the bike with a few mates, you get home and are so exhausted, you can't even be bothered to boot the dog on the way through the door...

... summer is almost here :cool

When you get a trickle of electrickery up your arm when testing is there is a current getting to the spark plug :P


At the weekend I was trying to start my old rotavator.
New fuel in, but the bugger was not keen to start and no sign of life.

So, the easiest check to do was to lift of the spark plug lead and see if there was a current getting to the plug.
The lead wasn’t the longest, and in the process of standing with one foot on a wheel and pulling the starting cord with my left hand, I successfully managed to get that tingling sensation running up my right arm of the electrickery liking me more than the spark plug

Passing a motorcycle parking bay with a car in it, then deciding that you will block that car in, go for a soft drink and wait within sight of your bike hoping that the driver will return and be inconvenienced by being blocked in :biggrin2 :biggrin2

Somebody getting out their car at the lights to bawl and shout because you managed to squeeze through the gap they tried to close, and then suddenly realising the "Fukcing pr1ck" with the addition of a lid c/w black visor, is 6 foot 7 tall, and armour plated..

And they can't see your eyes (The best bit!) but the look on theirs is priceless....
