Custard WILL be out to play VERY soon, just putting her back together, then M.O.T. She will only come out on dry days though

Sounds like a right nightmare 'Ness, glad you got home safe and sound although very late.

I`m sure that if Electro and Daywalker had seen Ness they`d have stopped to ensure she was okay. These 2 guys are gents!

If the bike or Ness had been spotted we would have been pulling stoppies to assist. Ness has been suitably chastised for hiding from us lol.

(it was about 10.30pm by then!) only to be met at the top of the roundabout with the 2nd Road closed - follow diversion sign stopped just off the roundabout and called a friend in Warrington who directed me to the M62 (assuring me it was the M56 that had road works and was closed).. i had a serious case of dejuva when i got back to the top of the roundabout.... (travelled between jct11 and jct12 x 2 )and was ready to lose the plot at this stage.. Friend then met me at 11.30, fueled the bike for me and i followed him to the M6 with directions to the M56.. i stopped outside my house at 12.02 - with really toasty warm hands and the rest of the body frozen cold and utter relief i had, what should of been a 30 min journey lasted 3h30mins, eventually got home...



so, i have learnt...
  • Pete is thirsty - very thirsty and 110miles out of a tank of fuel is all i will get
  • When the fuel light comes on.. thats about 4-5ltrs of fuel and it dont go that far
  • Never ever leave home without wallet (i dont normally but maybe i had to learn the lesson??)
  • i need to purchase a map and keep it under the seat
anyway, nice to see new and old faces again


You actually drove passed my place... Its one of them.. If only you would have known.. Could have saved lots of Messing and worry!!

Need to get to the next one but the bike is still off the road.... NOT for much longer tho!!

Dave
