. Then I remembered she was dry so half a gallon of fuel and yep, she started on the first attempt.
I rolled her out and gave her a good wash and blow dry with my Stihl leaf blower, then checked tyres, oil, watta (as if!) And lubed up the chain. A blue cloudles sky overhead and still another 3 hours before darkness...Thinks "I think Ill take the Bird up to Ladybower and back....onee be 10 or 15 mins"
So, with a wave I set off up the A57 towards Ladybower....nice and steady, nowt daft and the sun was getting low and straight in front of me.... so, .40, 50, 45....55, back to 40......yea, nice and steady, bimble cruise mode .......and then this twat appeared...oh what a bike, yi haaaa, woooooooofooookinhoooooooo!
