Waiting for towies - how you keep sane

[McJim]

A friend of mine hit a cow on SH22. Loaded him into a vehicle and sent him to hospital. I then had to wait with the bike wreck in the baking hot sun (we had summers back in those days....it was 2006 ) for about 2 hours waiting for another friend to come and collect the bike after having searched for the cow for a wee while too (it ran off into the woods after it got a bike up the bum).

quick hand shandy in the bushes on the side of the road.

Great suggestion - unless the tow truck takes more than 2 minutes to arrive, then what do you do?

Well - it does make me sleepy - so a snooze could be in order.

I spent the first half of my life waiting for my mother. I spent the next half of my life waiting for my wife. I spent the next half waiting for my girlfriend. God alone knows what the next half will be spent waiting for but I WILL BE WAITING, I just bet!!!

Ummmm... 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 2.0 You're not really a fox, but a cat, aren't you?

Pulled the clutch in to change gear and it didn't come back out. The cable had seized up. So I could rev it to hell and back, I could flick through the gears, I could coast, but I couldn't actually go anywhere. Has a new cable now though.

Yah wuss. Cut the cable(*) and ride home without a clutch. Sorted.
