Road kill

Not some other bugger,,that doesn't count.
So I'm crackin' the ton down this hill "that's 100 mph to most of you lot"
An Mr plod steps out from where his shitty 750/4 honda is hidden in plain view,an gives me a wave,,sort of.
I take note of the fact I'm doing the ton an he's standing still beside some jappa that probably needs to be parked in the shade so it don't melt in the sun,so I wave back "sort of":motu: an keep going.
See in the mirror he hasn't even bothered jumping on his bike,,,,the power of the mighty Triumph twin was obviously very apparent.:yes:
So,half an hour later I'm cruising up the coast when bike gives a slight hiccup and promptly ceases to proceed.
A quick look about and I see the slide guide pin is sticking out the side of the left hand carb,,and thus not guiding the slide no more.
Unscrew the carb top,realign the slide an tap pin back into place,a quick wrap with lecky tape and stand back to admire my work as the bike sits idling like the good thing she is.
Then I hear a sound in the distance,,,kind of sounds like,,,a Ferkin' onda,,ferkin' 750/4.
You should of seen the grin on the baskets face as he came to a halt an slowly took of his helmet.:eek5:
An that is the one and only speeding ticket I've ever gotten while riding a motorcycle.
He only did me for exceeding the speed limit, because the look on my face was worth gold by it's self,,,so he reckoned.
