... the route was enjoyable enough for everyone. Seem to be back on speaking terms with Mrs Nutz. Note to self, don't forget to send the mid ride text next time. Seems that I was a target for more than one or two cars today FFS!!!! (fubar) that one that tried to side swipe you was something else. He ...

I then decided to take them for a test ride. So it rained as I got my leathers out

Maybe next week then.

... Yeah I think I know which one you mean, doubt she'd watch it, I spoke to her yesterday and you would there was nothing wrong, I just wish that the next time he does it she leathers him, he's a scrawnt little runt, and put him in hospital for a while, I suppose we can live him hope

... second time it started then cut out then started and cut out again then it ran out of electricity so i had to bump it down a hill thank god i was next to one.
