Effin' wind ...

blew my shite old bike over. And it was on the centre stand.

Didn't realise how heavy it really was until I had to pick it up. Just
popping my stomach lining back in now :-(

 

Why? Do you think it is more stable on the centre stand?

Best learn how to pick it up properly.

 

Ah, pick it up with your back to it mate.

A few years ago, one particularly windy day, I ended up catching the
train home after finding the wind blowing so hard in the direction the
bike was already leaning that it was nigh-on impossible to push it off
the sidestand. I figured that if I couldn't get it upright when it was
already mostly there, I wasn't going to chance riding it home.

 

Alright, alright! So I struggled to lift the bike I admit. But in my defence
I would like to point out that it had fallen into a wet muddy area and part
of the lift was overcoming stiction to get the LH handlebar free. What with
my feet sliding around in the mud and no fucker offering any help I think I
did ok.
Ok?

 

Ah ****, I wish I knew that a couple of years ago, felt a right prat
asking passersby to help. Hopefully wont need to use it, bet that means
next week then.

Must have been about 1995 the last time I can remember winds like this.

Anyway, I lived just behind the football ground in Swansea at the time
and had a GP100.

I woke up in the morning and found my GP had been blown the best part of
100m down the street.

 

Hah try a 230Kg dead lift on a Blackbird then come back and complain !

P.

 

You're supposed to leave the wheels on the ground.

 

I used to clean and jerk the Rickman for tenner bets.

 

<bites knuckles> Must resist...

 

Tosspot banged the rocks together and they said :

No point, you know you'll crumble and give in in the end!

 

That's what happened to the guy who thought he could do the same with his
honda 250RS.

That's my tenner then.

 

Longest distance it ever travelled without braking down, asn't it?
