What Have You Learned Today? - SV650.org

I've learned that my bike will run out of petrol 23.4 miles after the fuel light comes on - leaving you stranded on the M27 in the ****ing down rain until your friend rocks up with £5 worth of fuel in a jerry can.

It certainly focusses the mind when you have to cross three lanes of traffic to get to the hard shoulder with no power and coasting to a standstill.

So now I know and I won't be doing that again.

I've learned just how feckin' petty some people can be after someone made an official complaint about me moving a bag of crisps from inside my jacket to the door pocket of the jeep at work... WHILST DRIVING!

Apparently, we stop people all the time for it.

I was crawling along in a queue at about 2mph in an automatic BMW X5.

Small minded feckin' ....stain.

Pete

PS, sorry to hear about you running out of fuel!

Today I've learnt that I have a screw in a tyre on my cage and I've also learnt how to kill a load of people in airport terminal...I just bought the new Call of Duty.

For driving an X5 that is, not the crisp thing...

Glad you managed to coast across safely Scoobs!

Pete - that sucks - this sort of petty mindedness seems to be getting worse

I've learned that my bike doesn't want to start on the button when it's sat for a few weeks in the shed - but all was well on the 6th attempt
