D'oh moment

Recently, I'd ordered some new bulbs for my pathetically illuminated bike in the hope of being able to see more than diddly squat when the sun goes down. On arrival I proceeded to struggle like I was in a straightjacket trying to get the bulbs out (tis simple when you know how) but as it was dark and cold in my garage, and I was trying to work between my bike and my daughters I was having to contort into all kinds of vogue-ish shapes to try to hold the torch, pull wires to 1 side and then undo the clips that samson himself must have fitted.

Eventually I managed to get the bulb out, drop the new one (twice!) and get one of the clip-legs back into situ. The other leg was very stiff so I had to use a screwdriver to push the leg back behind the clip. The only screwdriver I could put my hands on quickly was one of those flat bladed ones with a retractable screw holder (luckily). After fumbling with the other bulb and deciding not to bother attempting to fit the sidelights I retired for the evening.

Yesterday I went up to Barnsley to see my old mum - fuel light came on, so I pulled into a petrol station about 40 miles from home. Filled up, paid, got back to my bike.. and there, large as life is the bloody screwdriver that I'd been using .. nicely pressed into my comfort seat. The retractable end saving the seat from puncturing ..

Whats the weirdest thing you've found on your bike after a journey?

I found a dead sparrow in the air intake after a 10 hour trip back from Scotland a few years ago. Not exactly weird, but unexpected.

Think the bike was getting hungry

On my way home from a trip to Yorkshire I found this little fellow, he was put in a petrol station bin.





If a mod could turn the picture?

Few years ago I was tootling around London and a black cab cut me up like a b'stard.
Being young and impetuous, I overtook him and took a swipe at his wing mirror (I can still see the c*nt in my minds eye, he looked straight at me as he pulled out).
Afterwards, when I pulled up out side work and got off, a knackered old wing mirror fell off my lap and onto the floor.
It required a size 11 to send it across the road the dispatch the glass.
Heh heh heh.
