Bah !!
 

Not having a good day.
Got up this morning sun was shining, :D , whilst putting my leathers on, Mrs Tricky informs me we have no food and need to go shopping. So off I go to the supermarket, 1 hours riding time lost.

Never mind, sun is still shining, tinted visor, vented leathers, off I go.
End of the street fuel light starts flashing so I pull in for some gas, just as I'm coming out after paying some big boys on cool sportsbikes pull in, give them a nod and have a quick chat.

So I put my helmet on, except my gloves are still inside #-o , sportsbikes blokes trying not to laugh, sort my helmet out, start the bike up, put my gloves on.
Ready to blast off in to the sunset, except left foot is a bit to quick and gets first before left hand has got the clutch fully in. Bike lurches across forecourt and stalls ](*,)
Sportsbike lads are now rolling on the floor :oops:

Pulls out the garage and the heavens open, water dripping down my neck and through the vents in my jacket by the bucket full and can I see bugger all through my tinted visor.

Anyway as soon as I've dried out a bit and had a cuppa, it waterproofs on and back out there !

Tricky..definitely looks like you were having one or two "Hamlet" moments there!

Dont you hate it when that happens?! :wink: :P

What...

... sitting on top of a bookcase considering how best to go insane?! :shock:

(Sorry, watched Mel Gibson's performance of Hamlet last night, no don't laugh, it's actually feckin good!)

Personally Tricky, I think you were simply doing you bit for care in the community - acting the loon just to give some sportsbiker's egos a bit of a much needed boost. :wink: How generous of you.

It's days like that which make you fully appreciate the value of a good cuppa. :)

i hate those days.

the sv died on me again today (been working alot and not had a chance to sort it out.) so i will sort it tomorrow!!!!

only 2 months and a week till i can get my new bike!!

Came good in the end, swapped my leather for a textile jacket and tried again.
It stopped raining pretty soon after I started out again.
Nice little 50 mile pootle, dropped in on sum old friens en-route, even found some dry car free twisties to play on.

:D
