Default If you were just near the A55 (Brittania Bridge)...

I'm sorry. It's my fault that it was closed briefly.

Dropped 5L of oil on the bridge. Whoops.

Bought 5L of oil from Halfrauds to do an oil change on the bike, strapped it to the bike, and rode home.

On the bridge, TWANG. Crap, I know what that is! Looked in the mirror & saw a Mondeo take avoiding action as my oil skidded down the road at him, then he started flashing his lights to tell me about it.

So I pulled off at the Llanfairpwll exit (I would of been going that way anyway), stopped in the layby & called PC Plod becuase I didn't fancy playing with 50mph+ traffic, and I last saw the oil container in the middle of the road!

When the copper arrived at me, with the oil, he wasn't best pleased. He'd managed to get oil all down his leg & all over his boots. Just as he was showing me this mess, another biker passed the layby laughing & shaking his head (I think he thought I'd been stopped for speeding). I laughed to myself, but Plod must of thought I was laughing at him.

I was then told in no uncertain terms, that I wasn't allowed to strap the oil container to the bike & continue on my way - the container had two holes in it. So I stashed it in a bush & went home to get another container to pour it into. Still haven't had chance to do the oil change yet.
