Finally!

Got the ZZR back today. The bloke didn't really seem to know what his
mechanic had done to make it go but it's had the carbs cleaned out and new
plugs as well as whatever had to be done to make it go sparky spark. It
serpently goes a lot better than it did before, VBG from both me and the
eldest boy when I took him for a spin.

<Hangs head in embarrassment time>
Went to the petrol station to fill up. Got about 100 yards further down the
road and the bike cuts out. I start cursing the bloke who sold it to me then
a tiny voice in my head says "You didn't turn the petrol on did you?"

Why on earth do you turn the petrol off?

 

Never done it in me life, apart from removing the tank.

 

Dunno really. I thought the bike smelt a bit petrolly so I turned it off.
Shan't make that mistake again.

I never touch the fuel tap on any bike unless I'm removing the tank or
switching to reserve. This has served me well over the past 32 years

Frankly, old chap, you can pet your cock as often, and as heavily as you
choose. Please don't feel the need to tell us about it, OK?

 

I see no filth.
