2catz 0 Posted January 2, 2012 took the bike out for 4hrs with a friend today great ride out untill we stopped off at the jcb lake at rocester to feed the birds and take some photo's place was packed with families getting some fresh air. when i came to start her up battery had gone flat! we had to push her up the hill to attempt a bump start but i could;nt get enough speed up, by this time my face was bright red everyone stood and watch apart from one man who came to my rescue, with his help i managed to bump her and i made it home. phew! still feel like a right numpty though!!!!!!!!

BanditMike 0 Posted January 3, 2012 with all the above mate. Everyone on here has had something at some time. I more surprised everyone just stood and watched you Mrsstue, does Stue know you've put that on here. That combined with JLS could make his life unbearable on here. Good innit!?

Oldfart 0 Posted January 3, 2012 Like the rest, been there done that. Worst one was at the entrance to Mallory Park. Hundreds of bikers queueing to get in and my so called mate leans over turns my bike off and just drops the key on the floor. It was like Russian roulette with my fingers. Got him back though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
