Had an off...

15-09-2010, 12:53 AM

...the day before I head up north on my bike.

Driver in oncoming traffic on the other side of the road decides to turn right 10 meters in front of me. Her excuse was "I thought you flashed to let me go". Surely she must have judged that if she made the turn she would hit me?!! And no I didn't flash, she pulled out after the car in front of me had passed her.

With less than 24 hours to go before I head off on holiday for 10 days on my bike, I picked up my bike and rode it slowly to Rosso Corse. The conversation went like, "Ray, I'm going on holiday tomorrow lunch time, what can you do?", "You're in luck Stu, let's get in on the ramp!"

A couple of hours later (and much talk from Marcus about his new car) and my bike is back on the road with new parts! Happy days!
