    Not my weekend.

    Well it wasn't meant to be. I had friday off for the national, it starts like this,
    1) 3 weeks ago sent my ultimate ears back for repair, after many phone calls was due back thursday, didn't show!
    2) ordered a new tv, turned up thursday didn't work!
    3) ordered new number plate turned up wrong size.
    4)Friday set off for nat, 1.5 hours in my airhawk goes flat. now. have sore arse.
    5) 2.5 hours in, bike dies. Gps power cable had melted, blown a fuse. changed fuse, bike runs but no gps. No map, and no idea where to head.
    6)gave up! headed back to dorset area I know, then big very wet rain pored on me!! camped over night and came home today..

    So to round it up. I rode around 400 miles, got a sore arse, very wet, and have no TV to watch. it's all good.

    I'd have cried, tantrumed cried some more and then given up. But wouldn't have ridden home I'd have stayed there and sulked for a few hours, then cried again, then gone home
