took a blast into cardiff this morning (from bridgend), in a world of my own....down the m4, then down the 4232 to leckwith road / town......well that was the plan......
there was i , minding my own business , blasting along singing to myself
(as i often do), m4 no probs....4232 , pretty much halfway between service station on the motorway and the culverhouse cross escape, fast lane about 90ish......sorry i meant 68mph!!
...all of a sudden the bike splutters..i think to myself..nice one twat!!!you've run out of petrol..
...thank f--k for reserve i reassure myself.....reach down to switch the tap to res.......oh deary me....its already in reserve !!!!!
..at this point the motor cuts out completely leaving me stranded in the overtaking lane getting in everyones way ,
trying desperately to get over to the left side hard shoulder ...plenty of horn beeps and angry cars later....
(the ones i passed earlier)...and i coast to an ungraceful halt on the hard shoulder that is about 12" wide.....oh bollox!!!......now wot ??
, sure as hell ain't gonna leave the bike!!!!..
..gonna have to push it 3/4 miles to tesco ......doh!!!
oh well , lid off.. jacket off cos i am gonna sweat like a peodo in a playground !!...
.when all of a sudden my "charmed life" clause kicks in ...as it always seems to
, and a "white tranny" pulls up in front of me ( a van , not a fat welsh cross dresser
!) , and a cockney voice shouts "you all right mate" as he opens the back of his van to reveal all of the evidence of a bike racer !!!!
anyway , Bruce , (living in swansea) was on his way to ryders in sloper road and didn't know where it was.........this knight of the road dropped me off , with my bike,in asda petrol station and even asked to make sure i had means to pay for my fill up !!!!...what a nice guy !!!....
...so i knicked the fags out of his van and gave him directions to the rover way pikey camp !!!!...the English twat !!..
.......
no i didn't !!!......a heartfelt thank you and a shake of hands :
and off he went ... and i filled up and went into town...
moral of this story ?...............IF YOU HAVE BEEN RIDING BIKES FOR AS LONG AS I HAVE, .........THEN YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN TO RUN OUT OF PETROL WITH THE TAP ON RESERVE YOU BELL-END !!!......
also, you meet the nicest people on a bike !
sorry to bore you all (no I'm not !)..wanted to share a typical day for a dozy twat !
