To add insult to injury....

So, my station moped breaks down on a country road in the dark this morning. Complete electrical failure. Lose my lights the lot at 35mph with a steamed up visor and it chucking it down. Not sure how I didn't crash!!

Then the fun bit.

I park in a driveway to call my wife. I don't notice the huge puddle on the road next to me. A van comes along, deliberately aims for the puddle and completely nukes me with water. Work suit trousers soaked, shoes filled with water, mobile phone covered - the works....

What a crap, crap morning. Bike is now parked by a rec ground which teenagers frequent. Probably won't be there when I get home tonight, but not really bothered. C90 has now been drafted into station duties.

I know it's harsh but that's damned funny!
I've been on the receiving end of getting covered in an oily puddle & i was immensley pissed off!
But i've seen someoen get tidal waved by a massive puddle cause by a lorry & it was funny to see!

I guess the splash part is Karma. I'm not averse to giving someone a good soaking if the opportunity arises, more so when I was younger.

c90 is back up station scooter, used when weather is nicer. Suzuki AE50 is the one that died. RIP.
