Triple Lutz

Post by MellowYellow »

Today I went for fuel in a Tesco station. Was packed, and I went to the only available pump.

Stopped, and put pump-side foot down which slid outwards uncontrollably. Luckily there was a 'kerb' against which my foot stopped. Now I am balanced between losing the bike completely and staying upright. Just held it, but could not get the impetus/angle to get vertical. Helping hand arrived (thanks, whoever you were) to save the day.

A small quantity of sand had been dumped on a spillage and then left to catch the next customer out.
Have you noticed that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster is a maniac ?

Was working in Baff some years ago. A car came on fire in the petrol station opposite what is now Multiyork (on the London Rd.)

Then the pump next to it caught fire. Was a bit scary, we moved off a fair distance. :-ss
