SV650.org - SV650 & Gladius 650 Forum - Gripe of the day

sent a bill addressed to my mum at this address demanding money. they never even had the courtesy to put executor of before her name.

the account was settled and closed a year and a half ago.

Strange had that for a year in my last 2 properties

Global warming! Can't believe I spent an afternoon on October 31st cutting grass, I reckon I've spent more time on the mower in September and October than I did for the entire summer!

2 incidents on the bike.

1. Idiot took a right filter on a red light. Had to hit the brakes hard to avoid t-boning him as he shot across in front of me.

2. While overtaking a slow moving queue on the A140 (NSL) one car violently swerved into the oncoming lane to stop me overtaking him.

filtering past stationary traffic, girl decided she wanted to u-turn
Almost dodged it, but not quite :(

new fairing, nose cone, gear lever, foot peg and boot required. thankfully my boot did its job, and my foot is just swollen to all heck

On a related note: Part of my commute is rural, bike got absolutely covered in **** this morning. This afternoon once it had burned to the exhaust a bit more it became the most rancid thing I've ever smelled.. On the plus side I have a lot less flies on my visor :D
