Things I've seen when riding my bike

[BarnBrian]

My first legal bike was a Suzuki 80 in 1967 on "L" Plates; on which I was run off the road and finished up off work for nine months!

I decided to NEVER ride a small bike from there on, so in 1981 (recovered and divorced) I bought a BMW1000RT and rode it for many years on a Kuwaiti International Licence that was issued in Saudi Arabia, after I had frigged my UK Driving Licence.

In nearly fifteen years of illegal biking I never had an accident or got stopped by the Police, but when I became an HSE Manager I decided that I really ought to get a valid licence, sat my test and had another 10+ years of happy and legal biking!

Dutto, I can't believe that as an ex policemen you actually broke the law for all that time. I thought all policemen were 100% honest.:hat:

I'm sure they are - however ....

I think I really became an "ex" on a forecourt at Watford Gap service station when a young armed Policeman said "Feck off sonny!" when I asked him why he was stood on the petrol station island with a gun at his hip!

At the time, I was 42 years old, a Commissioning Manager in charge of 1,200 people and on my way to give a lecture to some of the Directors of the company I worked for; on the other hand, I was riding a motorbike and wearing a crash helmet so???

Why anyone would give this particular person a firearm still defeats me!

I cycled past The Olympia Exhibition centre earlier today. The was a huge queue of almost exlusively middle aged, rather rotund geezers. What's going on here I thought to myself. Then saw a sign saying, 'Great British Beer Festival'

If anyone is considering going, make sure you don'tget your weeks mixed up and turn up next week as that week is 'Drag Wordl Uk(nothing to do with cars)
