Re: Don’t you just hate...
When you are riding in the dark, in the rain, and then the headlight bulb blowsDon’t you just hate...
Luckily I was catching up to a car so I still had sight of the road with the car's headlights, but that driver must have got a surprise when I flicked on the full beam, going by their quick jump onto their brakes.
Then it took a few moments for me to sus out that my dipped bulb had blown, switching off the full bean and not having a dipped beam is not a nice experience...it was sooooo dark out there.
Thankfully I had fog lights to use, which are not aimed that high and I don't think dazzle other traffic.

Being beaten by one rounded off bolt. I just want to fit the R&G tailtidy. Shouldn't be a job for a garage. But it is now.
It wasn't me who rounded off the stupid bolt either!!!

Re: Don’t you just hate...
When some bugger reports your bike to the DVLA ending up in a £109 fine for being parked on a public road whilst on a SORN. Its my own bloody fault for not looking at my SORN properly but I'm still angry... AT least its not England where I would have been clamped...Might just 'immigrate' here after the split...

Unlucky mate, but 'Statutory Off Road Notification' (SORN) has to be a big hint.aisgsimon wrote:When some bugger reports your bike to the DVLA ending up in a £109 fine for being parked on a public road whilst on a SORN.

Re: Don’t you just hate...
Here's me thinking so long as I'm not riding the bike its fine. Living in the city means nowhere to put her besides in front of my flat, lesson learnt though..At least bike is taxed and MOTed ready to go now!
