    I was tempted to take a mallet to the bugger, a right pain in the arse! It's the usual, 'well we've sold loads without any problem'. BOLLOX!!!

    Today I left work and petrol light came on, 24 miles to home, no problem I thought. Petrol station half way, I thought. Wrong, closed for re-fit. Got filled up 1 mile from home, result!

    Day 4 on the new Bonnie and loving it! 130 miles on first tank, which wasn't full. Happy days indeed, the old Sportster is but a distant memory now.

    Oops, day 5. Old age getting to me.

    There's nothing speedy about me, hence the Bonneville and not a speed!

    Swapped the battery cover today, the original one I had was quite obviously about 5mm out. Sods law states, that if something is machined wrong, or a 'Friday afternoon' job, someone says 'bollocks sell it to Tone' The amount of crap I've bought over the years that doesn't fit, work, or falls apart astounds me. Well second time lucky.
