    I remember filling the car up at a local station a couple of years back, nozzle in the filler, holding the trigger and just casually looking round. There was a white car on the other side of the pump and I suddenly realised, hang on, that’s a Tesla!! As I’m looking round for the owner a guy came out of the kiosk carrying a fuel can and before I could say anything he said with a smile, “it’s for my lawn mower”. :joy:

    I came out from paying for petrol some time ago and there was a guy filling up his BMW 1200 whatever atthe pump in front of me, as I passed I casually said 'I know they're nicknamed tractors but I didn't realise they were making diesel versions!' I was still laughing 10 miles down the road at the look of panic on his face before he realised I was joking.
    I recommend trying it sometime, certainly lifts your spirits

    Never though of those, thanks though I won't be going to Starbucks as it's too expensive. 2 gallon of 99ron and tyres pumped up so I'm ready to wobble off into the distance now. It's started 1st prod too yesterday when I unpacked it from it's winter slumber.

    It didn't, the roads in Shropshire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire were rather crap in places though ;)

    We've had a rougher than usual winter over on this side of the pond, and it's not over yet. I got out the other day when it got up to 55 F. The roads are atrocious! I spent more time scouting for/dodging potholes than enjoying the ride.

    It was similar here TBH, apparently we had 45 days of rain during January and February, that's more than Noah had when he built the arc. The country roads had a lot of soil and other rubbish that had been washed off the fields too, which made cornering and road positioning a challenge.

    Isn't this the point where BMW riders trade in for a new bike or is yours more than 6 months old?
