It's a bit disappointing to find oneself among the last few survivors at such an early hour, especially as so many of the lightweights were youngsters. I'm still on the way home, having stopped for lunch in Laon.

Me too, what a bloody awful run back, and was *cold* for the last 30 miles or so after the jacket dried out. Me, Adie and Andy did a bit of spirited riding in the pissing rain, me particularly in the filtering bits. I'll not say where as my NIP might already be in the post :) Paul.

Gone native, you see. It was good apart from the moment of sheer panic when the fuel gauge went from four bars to none, in an instant. Flicking to the distance to empty only showed three dashes, i.e. out of range. Clearly something wasn't right but the question was, which reading was correct: the four bars or no bars. A quick Ctrl-Alt-Del with the ignition key seemed to sort things out. |
