Number one... wasn't gonna go out for a ride cos the forecast was a bit 50/50... decided to go for a quick one up towards helsmley and sutton bank.
Freezing but quite sunny.. what's the worst that could happen?
LINGERING SNOW ON THE HIGHER GROUND

Then coming down sutton bank (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sutton_Bank) (one of the steepest roads in the UK) I decided to park on one of the run offs for a quick photo - there was snow in the gutter all the way down the hill and round the corner, front wheel hit it and the bike nearly went down but managed to catch it with my left foot (good old lefty..)

Then when I got home I emptied the pockets of my textiles when all of a sudden....
ULTIMATE FAIL

Fail? Why? Chips still intact so its still useable. Either be old skool and get some sellotape on it or if you plan to use it in a cashpoint anytime soon the just superglue it. Sellotape may get tuck in the atm you see.

Don't use it for just over a month and then you'll have a new one anyway. :D
Good pics. So glad you didn't drop it :thumleft:

Has your new bike got brake lights & indicators? Prolly better off using them instead of flapping your arms like you're on fire ;) :razz:
The addition is the fail of going out in heated clothing in this weather... was lovely out today :p

gloves and a waistcoat!
Hold it, hold it RIGHT THERE....
Who do you think you are, some kind of a magician or that freaky white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland? :-P
Nah hang on a bit further....
You wear waistcoats? Pooooooooooooof :D
Penguins and people with decent layers... plenty of snow up on holme moss too. Just the sort of thing I needed to shake the cobwebs loose after a few weeks off the bike.
Good job about the card, saves you spending all that £££ you haven't got. Anyway it was about to expire:D

should stop her from trying to extort any money as well lol...
In all honesty it had been slightly cracked for about a year - I almost made it to expiry. It was like a mini-challenge I set myself :) I'm such a loser lol
any thoughts about the GM3 yet ed? :)
