    Frickin' wind!!!

    Arrrrggggghhhhhh! A combination of wind and a scooter parked beside my bike meant it's been knocked over again! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!! I could see it from work and ran down to pick it up but, by the time I got there it had been picked up, as had the trail bike that was blown over as well, the scooter was gone so maybe it was the scooter rider who did it. Bless them!
    My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog already thinks I am.

    Sorry to hear about your misfortune!

    Thanks for the warning though. I've shifted mine to a more sheltered spot.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    You could always chuck the bike on it's centerstand, when I had a '83 CB250RS many moons ago, the centerstand was rock solid...

    Well it was on the centre stand the last time it got blowed over. Thats why I had put it on the side stand. Oh well. Minimal damage and she still goes!

    You can park in the james smith council carpark for free, just ride around the barrier and there's a bike park under the spiral ramp in the middle. Nice and sheltered
