Mission Of Mercy

Discussion in 'Lounge' started by XH558, Jul 12, 2018.

  1. For those of you who have read my thread ‘scumbags’. One has to do the decent thing and help out a friend in times of adversity. I found an excellent like for like replacement bike (in fact better) on ebay at far less than inflated London prices. Problem was I ended up having to strike out and do the deal myself! Hey ho….

    So - armed with my best friend ‘plank’, two packets of crisps, a chocolate bar and a cold drink I set off for the West Country, munching up the tarmac at silly o’clock – 4am. 5 hours later – deal done. Had a natter and a bite to eat with a very nice Cornish gent and with that I turned the horse around and was gone. All was well until I hit the M25 – say no more…..

    If the scumbags nick this one I will take it seriously personally…… :mad: DSCN4778[1].JPG DSCN4772[1].JPG DSCN4773[1].JPG
