    Stop nagging

    I had to go down the garden to put some rubbish in the bin and the Shed was open. Then the nagging started " You don't love me any more, you haven't taken me out for two months, I have not had a drink for three."

    So as the sun was shining I decided to take the bike out for some petrol, it did not run properly and sounded wrong.
    I filled it up and took the A21 down to the A259, along the way the tick over rose to 1500 RPM, then it went back down to 1100 /1200 where it is normally.
    I opened it up to the red line for a couple of overtakes and got that smile on my face.
    No time to stop for photos, it was time to stretch the legs and get rid of the cobwebs. At the junction with the A22 I headed back towards London, Just outside West Wickham, As I was going Down some country lanes it started to rain, I could smell the Diesel so had slowed right down as I approached a bend in the Road, Going down hill the diesel was all over the road, I felt the back starting to slide and stopped the bike as it hit the Roadside bank.
    I put my feet down only for the things to slip on the surface.
    I laid the bike down and got my foot caught on the foot peg A driver coming in the opposite direction stopped and helped me pick the bike up, a couple of bikers slowed to see if I was O.K. which I was except for my pride.
    Thank god for Crash bars, although I think I need a new set as these have seen a lot of action. Apart from that it was a great ride and I am glad I got out before the weather turns to WET and WINDY.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE
