as the dear heart has done things to my bike we had to go for a test ride - all seems fine to me
so off to the Ponda for a brew and an egg buttie, some old git with failing eyesight decided no point in checking when at a junction and wanting to go straight ahead, not like any cars, bike, tractors likely to be traveling down the main road
you know how it is you just know they are not going to look............. so prepared
mad busy at the Ponda so ended up sharing a table with this old bloke 71 to be exact. he was really interesting had been going to the Ponda for 40 years and shared a tale or two with us. going back to his first visits with L plates and the further ride to New Brighton or Liverpool on his Norton he had bought new for £500 on HP with a total payment of £750. the ladies he had met along the way with his brother and he even produced photo's/ his legs are bad now and he can't ride so does the 36 mile trip to the Ponda every weekend for his lunch in his 3 wheeler, still only has a bike license... ( had an image of Del Trotter at this point)
so spare a thought when visiting your bike pit stops for a brew that some old bloke is no different just wanting to soak up the atmosphere
