    Another Warning

    With all these cold weather about i thought it might be a good idea to get some hotgrips for my bike as i noticed that at 6am it is a touch chilly.Looked in the local yellow pages to see if there is a bike garage near by.
    Found some advertising from a guy claiming to "know it all".Since he was just around the corner i thought i give him a try
    I should have been warned by the "Wreck" (he says its a "Project")which was standing outside his garage.When he showed me the bike he is currently riding(a real mint classic,he says)i should have listend to the alarmbells ringing.
    Well he started to fit my new hotgrips and from than on it was "Oh this is rattling and this needs oiling,you need to sort that out soon""
    Yeah right sunshine,i am not your retirement fund
    Well he did get the grips sorted eventually(after finding out that the grips where not working cause he did not join some wires proper,Hello)
    So guys and girls careful out there
    Some real Cowboys about




    Thanks chad
    My Fingers will saluteforeverand thank you
    They call him "Ze Quiet one"
    I listen to what the rice crispies tell me to do

    It's a recognition sign in the building trade, shows he's passed all his apprenticeships or knew someone who could make the certificates on a computer!!!!!

    1 Varadero/17,000 miles ridden (of 40,000 miles on the bike), it's all still new to me!
