Went for a small bimble today from Peel, stopped at Ramsey for a cuppa,
out my hand to my fleece pocket to find it was open and my wallet and
iPhone were missing.

Amazingly found the wallet and all cards[1] at the side of the Poortown
road, but no phone.

Its on and it rings and MT tell me that the cell its connected to is in
my area, but it supports about a 5 mile radius... more annoyingly is I
dont have the "find my iphone" app, so cant GPS pinpoint it.

So presuambly its buried in a ditch somewhere - Im amazed that its still
ringing, as where I found the wallet is about a 150MPH straight!

[1] spread over 200 yards or so...

Give thanks to your favourite deity that you have been saved from the
phone with far more style than substance. Let this be a lesson to you.

Just send the brickit code ffs. Get a new one, reload the contacts from
the cloud, jobs a goodun.

Unless you bought it outright, then it might be a bit more of a conundrum.

158mph flat on the tank on a *very* long straight. You'd maybe get close on
a downhill gradient or with a stong tailwind, but you'd really have to be
trying hard to Vmax it - unlikely you'd get more than 130-140 in normal
cuntish riding, I'd say.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Gavin <(E-Mail Removed)> saying
something like:

Did you have it on silent ring, or something?
