    Mwatt has just belled me and will be at my place at 1000ish. Think we will have a blat and then head to the 1066 for 1100ish or earlier.

    Well let's say that when I am about i can make things interesting :). Really nice ride over to Ashford where I met pat yogi and his wife. Along with Mega and M watt sampled the food which was pretty good. Then came the ride home. I'm sure my rolling burn out while overtaking looked amazing. Shame it wasn't a planned event . lol

    What happened Tom? You get a stone wedged under your rear guard?

    :rolleyes: well what happened was.....and before anyone starts it wasn't may fault :D

    just having a relaxed ride when theres a bang, slight twitch in power, i thought i'd blown my clutch or something :( looked in the mirror to see some dark smoke following me and Leila waving so i pulled over as soon as possible to find my number plate bracket had snapped and somehow the number plate ended up stuck under my hugger, well poking thought part of it :cry: was a bit of a pain to get out as it was well wedged but as the picture shows i had my mechanic on hand :D lucky really as just a cm or two to the left and it would have blown the tyre :eek:

    Fek! You were lucky... very lucky. Just don't use your nine lives up on gaffer tape & sticky-backed plastic!

    I know. I only had a few hundred miles left in that tyre and now I should be able to get a few thousand more thanks to the extra deep tread :) how lucky is that.

    I already have a new set here ready to go on. Just need to get a new number plate and bracket.
