KIlled it :o(


The Honda that is :o(

Started off with a snapped clutch cable, which wasent too bad, as i had an emergency kit, but it took an hour to fix, as it was too damn hot to touch anything !!

Then, it lost power, and was running on three cylinders, so limped it to the campsite.

Had a fun 1st night, upsetting most of the 'normal' people who were camping in tents bigger than some rooms i've lived in !!

Checked all the HT leads in the morning, found the loose one, so fixed it :o)

Went to start up the bike, and i didnt work. It helps if you put the HT leads back onto the plugs !! Did that, hit the start button, and one almighty BANG later, ride off the site, after making very sure every kid and adult was VERY awake ;op

About five miles from the site for the bushmoot, it happens......

CRUNCH, Clatter clatter BANG SQQQQQQQQUUUUEEEAAALLLLLLL !!!!!!

OH FFS !!! Stop at side of road, send Mad Dave to catch Womble, while i sit there and sulk :o(

They head off to site, to unload gear, and work out a plan.

After a friendly local had fed me biscuits and a ice cold can of pop, Womble arribes back, and tows me to site !!

A novel experiance, and one that turned me into a jellyfish !! Not because of Womble's riding, it was just soooo damn strange :o)

After that, parked up on site, had a shot of good scotch , and had a fine weekend :oD
