Just love reading about stuff like that!

First off today, that didn't make me too cheerful but the lovely people that helped me did. My own fuck up, coming around a corner at some lights, dropping down hill and I cocked it up. Bike slid out.

A guy helped get the bike up and off the road. A lady made sure I was fine and went so far as to force a sweet drink on me to stave off shock.

Thanks to both of them

Bike seems to be okay, a little coolant leaked through an overflow. Exhaust, wing mirror, instrument cluster and brake leaver all scraped up a little but nothing looks to be too bad. Gear all did its job, bike was on my foot but my boots held up and hip/knee armour took all the knock and slide.

christmas cake is cheap as

maybe where you are...Down here, Couplands (best chain in the SI) put the price of their light fruit cake up when the Xmas packaging went on. Then when it was sold out, they said, No more until the dark fruit cake is sold...Idiots.
I'd suspect an accountant asked why sales were down...so the light is back - but the buggers haven't put the price back..

At least that's a reason to be cheerful as I do some of my best work fuelled by their light fruit cake...

I spent a fantastically therapeutic day recommissioning a '72 114 Mercedes 230 that has been in storage for a long time.
What a lovely "built up to a standard, not down to a price" quality piece of machinery, that was built to be repaired effortlessly & forever.
These are the cars that will still be running in 100 years.

Some years back i was at a workshop in ChCh which specialised in odd shit, mainly rally cars and continentals...
They had a 60's merc there for a service and tune. i was walking round it and commented on the door and window rubbers - mint.
I was told that the standard Merc dealers service was supposed to include coating the rubbers with lanolin grease.
If these are the cars that will be around, they'll probably still have the original body rubber parts...
