    Get your pucks out for the lads...

    Seasonal reminder...
    Unusual for the UK I know however nearly had an incident when I left the AT on its side stand. I parked up at 6PM and when I went out again at 7PM it was listing quite badly - any longer and It would have gone over for sure.

    Usual culprit side stand had dug into the soft tarmac - my fosters can was in the top box...

    So when the sun is out and its hot the roads really do melt so don't get caught out. We've all been there I know but it was worth mentioning!

    Of course the other seasonal hazard - scantily clad women just enjoy!!!
    I'm going on a trip!

    Pop riveted a plastic sidestand puck on the foot of the stand just the other week.
    Got sick of pulling into a campfield, only to find the ground too soft to park the bike to get the puck out the topbox!

    Sorry!!!

    But I love this hot weather especially in Central London - it's dangerous enough at the best of time but when tempreture rises so do hem lines and neck lines plunge and things get really interesting...

    Praise be to the female of the species - where we would we be without you!

    Sigh! Yep it sure is great being a cab driver this time of year? First the female with the low cut top has to bend down and talk to me in the front of the taxi. And when they leave the rear of the cab they have to duck there heads and bend right over from the waist to get out of the cab door I love my job

    Its a shame the Public carraige office don't allow us to have webcams in the cab. I'd make a flippin fortune on the internet.

    Not that i'm a perve or anything like that
