    Got to the front of an incident on the M4 west coming home, in time to
    see the fake police help some biker hobble off to the hard shoulder. No
    idea what happened, seems a lorry and a couple of a cars involved.

    But enough of all that, I was the first one to be let through when they
    re-opened the road.

    Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.[1]

    [1]I didn't last long against the Porsche though.[2]

    [2]It didn't take long for the 'busa[3] to catch up my poor little B6
    either.

    [3]Could that have been Gyp? I've never met him. Biker all in black,
    shiny 'busa, his riding gear seemed to be tad 'snug'.

    I had that once on the M5 on the GSXR 'cept it was real Police.

    "Go on then, but be careful" said the bobby with a smile. Sometimes
    you do get good ones.

    Aye, I was somewhere behind you in another snarl up on the M25.

    A (proper) copper gave me the "take it easy" hand gesture, and me, a
    CBR6 and an SP2 gave it the berries from Sevenoaks to Maidstone.

  6. Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Champ
    Oh, that's a little unfair.

    We shouldn't absolutely discount the possibility that some ham-fisted
    "maintenance" resulted in a throttle stuck WFO.

    Well exactly, it could have been me. Though to be fair, all I've cocked
    up so far is the top box [1] and the oil change [2].

    I wasn't planning to fiddle with the throttle, brakes and clutch until
    next weekend, so the fact that my go faster parts are currently sat in
    the US waiting for the planes to start flying again is probably working
    in my favour.

    [1] slightly fell off
    [2] leaked

    Well yes and his new HG gear is "comfortable" enough to accomodate the
    contents of his bowels after all

    By coincidence, I recounted my recent excitement to my boss yesterday.
    He asked if I was going a bit quickly, I said yes. He asked what I
    touched, I said cloth.

    It's the first time I've actually seen someone spit their tea over their
    keyboard.

    fool. ?

    There's only 2 things you need to make sure are oil-tight ???

    First time in thirty-odd years of Diy servicing of my bikes and cars
    that I've had an oil filter that hasn't sealed. Mind, it's the first
    time I've followed the tightening procedure in the Haynes manual.
