Ultimate Oh Shit moment

Yesterday I unkindly mentioned Pratt of the Day. I take it all back. Get this. A bloke was putting his K up on the centre stand on the sloping car park when it went over with his leg caught in the centre stand. Net result leg broken above and below the knee. Oh it kept going and skittled the bike next to it too.

But first lunch

Of course I ordered lunch so I've missed the bunker tour.Bunker, schmuncker...

Those Germans and their bunkers

Here we have another lovely bunker - this time built in the 60s to keep politicians safe. After the bomb dropped all they had to do was stay inside for 200 years and it would be safe to come out.

Germans lurve sidecars

Sun coming up on misty morning in Blankenheim

Just checked Ethel ok after a wet and misty night in the open but why worry - its her country after all.

A bloke did just fall off his bike at 0 mph in hotel carpark and smashed his mirror off.

Funny what people notice

At Blankenheim I was amazed at the attention Ethel was getting for the various home comforts she has. The handlebar muffs were very closely inspected to nods of approval, the Airhawk seat was a wow and great mirth followed a demonstration of captive visor wiping cloth on fetching pink stretchy key ring coil.
Confession of the night was that someone else also lost a complete topbox from a K75 - this time a groovy alloy number vanished on autobahn. Watch out behind these bikes.
