First Bike Night of the Season
Not
Lovely day too- sunny, wind still a bit cold. Mark has been using my bike for work since the builders at the school have taken the parking spaces.
So I push the bike out onto the road. I get changed. I find the keys.
Does it start? Does it hell. So bump it down the road but it sounds so rough. I'm adjusting the choke, round the corner. Blimey it feels dodgy. I can't remember it so damn wobbly- I must get some more trips out on it.
Bike- dies half way up the hill. I can hear Mark roaring away at the top of the hill. You would think he would have come down the hill.
Could I get it to go again?
So, I've done this once before, pushing the sodding bike up the hill. The death of me.
Then No1 son phones 'Where are you mam?'
(Still at home). He comes back on his SpeedTriple and after finally getting it started, I pointed out to him the back tyre is very flat!
So I get a high speed trip to the Quay on his bike. We got the thumbs up by lots of pedestrians.
Come home on the back of the Kawasaki
