Default Why I'm a Cold Stranded **** (Cont.)

Why you might ask? Well cus I'm stuck in Farnborough with my bike with a flat battery for the second time. I left my feckin' heat grips on when I got to work (i know wire then in properly) and got recovery out to start it. Then what do I got and do, get 2 miles down the road and realise I left my ear plugs out. Stop keep the engine running, sort myself out and pull away and bloody stall it. Oh bloody ****, its half seven now and I finished work at five thirty.
Have found a router to log my XDA on to though.

If only your XDA could wire in and power up your battery eh. I take it there are no friendly faces to help push start it?

I was in Farnborough tonight. If I'd known I'd given you a lift or a push.

Nope... I got all the way to the A3M near Waterloville and ran out of fuel. Managed to get hold of someone with a petrol can and got home about 22:45, when I live 40 miles from work and I left at 17:30.

My legs hurt, my feet ache, and I'm getting pain from my knees.

thats sounds about right...

the old choice.. flat battery, risk it not starting in the petrol station or see how far you can get on no fuel..

answer... ride to the nearest tesco petrol station as they have breakdown cover.
