Tempting providence!

Why is it that when you talk about past disasters they repeat themselves? is there some God like being amusing him/her self? Is the aforementioned email fairy moonlighting for a few extra laughs? am I paranoid? does any one care!
I remember a conversation at Hayfield about joining the AA/RAC and how good they both were, I mentioned that I tend to get the bike low-loaded about twice a year (This has been the case for the last 4 years!) this year I have only been low-loaded once, (My ignition barrel and steering lock seized in the locked position)
So one of the above was obviously seeking to redress this piece of -relative- good fortune by supplying my rear tyre (only 800 miles old) with a complex puncture as I left the camp site, complex because having plugged it 3 times it was still leaking air, so a mad dash for the nearest garage and a phone call had the AA coming out to rescue me,


Getting comfy as I wait for the AA





I was fully expecting a low-load home due to being unable to stop the leak, but the very nice man from the AA managed to insert another plug and some 'slime' which -finally- stopped the air escaping.


A very nice man!





I drove the rest of the way home in the end thus saving that other low-load home for another day!
The Bike is now a unicycle in the garage awaiting another tyre! Interestingly this is a story/moan/whinge for another day!!

It started with a curse!

Brilliant idea! If I take my iPAQ with me on the National Rally I can upload lots of interesting(?) snippets to this blog, live and fresh as it happens (this is clever and I have seen Highwaylass do it)
I know it can be done because my first post was done this way.
So, having found myself at a loose end at the first checkpoint (I got there 1:1/2 hours before the start of the rally and nobody else was there) I extract said iPAQ with a flourish, and madly stab at the keyboard creating a truly wonderful narrative on my exploits at the driving skills 'tests' I had just completed (actually, 'completed' may be a little overstated?!)
When I send the above, it gets hijacked by the email fairy who promptly looses it (Tart!!)
when I try to recover my labour of love there is no sign of it, what's all that about?

I even took this picture to send with it,Could this be the reason the email Fairy consigned it to oblivion?
