    You have just gotta laugh...

    You know those situations where you have two choices. Laugh or cry ??
    Picture this if you will. Youve spent over a month rebuilding the motor, chasis and cosmetics on a bike. It looks apsolutely stunning.
    You rock on down to the testing station for a wof- proud as punch of your work.
    As instructed you put your bike in the line ready for its WOF.
    At this point a testing officer wanders round the back of the car in front and hops in to take it through for its WOF. BUT NO
    Back it comes-- Then up and over the bike.
    HMM he mustya thought "Funny Cant go backwards" so forwards he goes. FOR A MOMENT before jamming it back into reverse and having another go. Yep up n over the bike
    Several people were screaming at him to stop.
    When he drove forward and reverse lights came on AGAIN Enough was as they say enough and I ran up and started pulling him from the car. Not to hurt him mind you just to stop the madness
    The damage although not exactly major will be rather expensive to fix.
    The very worst part about it all was the new owner was sitting in my office waiting to ride away on his new bike.

    Im standing there wondering WTF just happened. But ya just gotta laugh --You do PLEASE tell me ya do !!!!!!!!

    Hmmm I might have been tempted to indulge in fisticuffs with that man, myself...what a dweeb....
    But yes, I guess you gotta laugh. But I doubt I could have.

    Ok, I got a small twitch on the left side of ,my mouth...does that count?

    Mate, how you managed not to hit the moron is beyond me.

    Is he gonna be held liable in any way? Surely...

    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Gutted Frosty.

    I presume the Testing Station's liability insurance will cover the damage to the gold-plated bits on the bike that got damaged??

    EDIT: Got any "after" pics??

    Laugh. No. Beat to within an inch of his life. Possibly yes. Yell and abuse, most definately. If you laughed Frosty, you are a better man than I am.

    You were selling williams track bike ???
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    Sorry to hear this story Frosty.

    I would not have been able to laugh through the red mist.

    Is there such a court verdict as 'Justifiable Homicide'?
