Posted November 24, 201014 yr So today my engine failed , rather spectacularly ( ive got a post on the workshop with the full story ) I have no idea what is wrong ....... However after pushing my bike for several miles up and down some pretty hefty hills at 10/11pm in the freezing cold my father tells me its all part of being a biker, and it happens to everyone at some point ! Wondered if you guys had any similar stories ? Although i must add ..... 100's of cars past me and didn't stop to ask to see if I was ok or needed a hand ... however 6 out of the 7 bikes which past pulled over and asked if they could help very impressed !

November 25, 201014 yr Perhaps UP YOURS would care to comment as he seems to have mastered the art. Note the style, the poise, the insane grin, the Pound Saver glasses perched on the head, the newly acquired ability to put one foot in front of the other. Luckily, several motorcyclists did stop to offer help - hence the photo. ATB J

November 26, 201014 yr Wondered if you guys had any similar stories ? Early '80s (81-82?), MZ250, g/f (now SWMBO) house was 4 miles from my gaff (Googly map link for the curious). For some unknown reason (the fates taking the pi$$, maybe), it seemed that every time I left her place late at night after 'cuddles' it started to rain just about when I left the streetlights ..... ! Now the MZ isn't that heavy a bike, but if you look at the streetview on that link for the last stretch into and through Marykirk, you'll see it's all uphill - ye gods did I get fit! Eventually I discovered WD40, old Marigolds and bathroom sealant and never had to push the bike again, through rain, hail, sleet or snow - I think that's about the time my waistline started to expand .... ?
November 26, 201014 yr 'cuddles' Aye, cuddles Come on now KerriPete ! Ya were a young fit man, twas more than Cuddleing ya were up ta,,,,,,,,tell us :D
November 26, 201014 yr Aye, cuddles Come on now KerriPete ! Ya were a young fit man, twas more than Cuddleing ya were up ta,,,,,,,,tell us :D Needing some more 'happy thoughts' for the wank bank? Sorry, but a gentleman never tells .... and I can impersonate a gentleman when need arises (or other things ).
November 26, 201014 yr Author I love how discussions can change from pushing motorcycle's to the infamous Visual Wank bank ....as we say around here....BANTER !
